Desert discs: how mobile phones are at the root of Saharan music | Music | guardian.co.uk
november 2010 by ohskylab
"However eclectic your music collection, it would still need to go some way to match the sheer range of tracks shared by villagers swapping songs via Bluetooth and Sim card in the Sahara. Bollywood classics, Algerian Rai, Kuduro, French ballads – this is just a sample grab of the kind of sounds doing the rounds there, many of which can be found on Music from Saharan Cellphones, a mixtape put together by Portland-based blogger Christopher Kirkley."

Si Begg :: 24 Bit Error Collection
july 2009 by ohskylab
Si Begg's next release out for free. "Don't get me wrong I'm all for me making money out of my music. But as I say, i'm not exactly churning out platinum hit singles here. I'm thinking its more likely I'll make my money a) from possibly licensing the tracks to compilations b) PRS royalties from radio play etc c) maybe getting the tracks used in film and TV d) gig, remix and production work encouraged by generally raising my profile. All of which is more likely to happen the more people that get to hear and hopefully enjoy my music."

Kiddie Records Weekly
june 2009 by ohskylab
"Kiddie Records Weekly began in 2005 as a one year project devoted to the golden age of children's records. This period spanned from the mid forties through the early fifties and produced a wealth of all-time classics. Many of these recordings were extravagant Hollywood productions on major record labels and featured big time celebrities and composers. Over the years, these forgotten treasures slipped off the radar and it became our mission to give them a new lease on life by sharing them with today's generation of online listeners."

» That Sony Meeting Song, by Toad
april 2009 by ohskylab
"Columbia Records, part of Sony BMG, [...] invited [Winston's Zen] in to talk to them and suggested he bring along a couple of other bloggers and make something of a meeting out of it. So last Thursday [some MP3 bloggers] went along, the Sony people booked a table in a pub and we talked about stuff and drank ourselves into a stupour. And what did we achieve? Well honestly, I’d say not an awful lot, really." Worth reading despite that, though.
