A1 Radio - Music for Mental Health Radio with UK Craigie

 

As Facebook won't allow me to link to A1 Radio's site for some reason here it is.

UK Craigie has begun a show on there called "Music for Mental Health Radio" and I am interviewed on the first show (Monday 2 January 2023 6-8pm). I explain how Channel 107/Cream fits into the alternative world known as the "Homelands" on the planet Finves.


Now released on Mixcloud


Also in the first edition there is some pretty dope hip-hop & rap, and he has already dropped one of his own UK Craigie songs which went into how hard it is in the UK right now with the so called "cost of living" crisis.

1992 now coming out as a Yearbook!

Rather randomly Now Yearbook '92 has just been announced. The series began with Now Yearbook 1983 back in Summer 2021 on 4 CDs containing just over 80 songs from the year (some of them huge hits and others more obscure choices from the year in chart music) and then fans were surprised that instead of being followed up with Yearbook 1984 it was followed up by Now Yearbook 1983 Extra which simply provided 3 more CDs of hits to complement the original 4 with about 60 more songs included, some of the choices becoming yet more obscure. It was then actually followed by Yearbook 1984 and Yearbook 1984 Extra but fans were once again surprised by the series then going backwards to release Now Yearbook 1982 instead of 1985, but 1985 & 1986 also eventually followed and the series also has so far now gone back as far as Yearbook 1978. The focus on the early 80s and late 70s has brought more songs from the era before the first Now That's What I Call Music compilation was released in 198...

Internet Radio & now also Mixcloud banning single artist shows - why the PRS/PPL doesn't make sense.

Why are the big copyright agencies for the record industry dead set against smaller broadcasters playing more than 2 or 3 songs by a single artist in a row or within an hour? and does this really achieve anything? (even looking at it from their point of view), I argue that it does not and look into the restriction here. Mixcloud which for years didn't seem to have this restriction at all has now hit uploaders with it as well. Want to play copyrighted songs over the interweb? you've got to ask these guys first, mmmkay! Internet radio and copyrighted music has been a bit of a contentious issue for the 2 decades or so since it became a thing, at first back in the Noughties the rights organisations both sides of the Atlantic who gatekeep copyrighted pop music etc were almost trying to suppress the whole concept entirely, and then the licences they did come up for "webcasters" came with a whole bunch of restrictions, that seemed to suck the fun and joy out of it  And ther...

10 March Gary Lineker, this is most likely proof that the BBC has indeed been infiltrated by the Tories in some key positions given they are trying hard not to allow him to put out his own opinion. Alan Shearer and Ian Wright have said they won't appear on tomorrow's Match of The Day in solidarity with Gary Lineker. https://news.sky.com/story/gary-lineker-stepping-back-from-role-as-match-of-the-day-presenter-12830108 Happy 40th and goodbye! The love in with streaming over linear TV continues as ITV decides to axe the CITV Channel in favour of there just being a kids TV section on the streaming/catch up service ITVX called imaginatively enough ITVX Kids, you might wonder here why they didn't honour the heritage of the CITV brand by calling the section that instead.   CITV has existed as a full channel since 2006 and it was known before that as the afternoon block of programmes after school on the main ITV. Any hope of eventually getting CITV HD has of course gone now!  The...
