Revolutionising the music business on a weekly basis...

 

Everyone is entitled my opinion...

 

iPhone 4

 

I couldn’t take the exclusion any more... I finally succumbed to the lure of the iPhone. My old handset was up and my telco was offering three months free for existing customers to upgrade. Sweet.

 

Has it changed my life? Um, not really.

 

Will it “revolutionise my music industry”? Possibly.

 

It is certainly nice to have a phone that finally does everything I have wanted from a mobile phone, plus it has the added benefit of looking and feeling very nice. I was actually surprised that the much much-maligned quality of its actual telephone properties (you know, the voice part) seem to work just fine. No drop outs, no crackle, just clear and pleasantly loud reception.

 

My only complaint so far is that when I am listening to songs on the iPod, it has a tendency to shuffle at the slightest of bumps... such as walking down stairs. Still, that just gives you another opportunity to pull it out of your pocket and touch it again...did I mention it is very pretty?

 

 

Totally Not Safe For Work

 

I was going to post this track a couple of weeks ago. The latest single from Cee Lo is titled “Fuck You” and consequently is causing a flurry of interest amongst people who are shocked at such language...

 

One listen to the track, however, and I guarantee you will be walking down the street singing the song out loud and wondering why people are looking at you strangely.

Ping

 

Do we need another social media platform?

 

It seems that Apple think so. Steve Jobs announced this week the launch of Apple’s latest social media offering called Ping. It lives within the iTunes store and combines elements of Facebook and Twitter so you can receive and give recommendations to your friends and followers.

 

Another time wasting site? Possibly...

 

What sounds interesting to me is that you will be within a site that means you will only ever be one click away from purchasing new music. And THAT could be another game changer. You can read all about it here.

 

 

Speaking Of Sweaing...

 

With all the fuss that has been caused recently regarding Men At Work and the song “Kookaburra Sits In The Old Gum Tree”, you’d think that this much loved children’s song would now fade back into the background of our collective memories.

 

However, a Melbourne school has recently got into trouble by censoring the word “gay” from the chorus. Obviously this song is insidious and riddled with language that is unsuitable for children. I mean, just look at this video to see all the swearing that has been going on right under our noses...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What Would Dave Do?

He’d be well and truly shocked by all that swearing...that’s for sure.
