The Virtual Revolution – The Cost of Free

The Virtual Revolution Episode 3: Destroys the myth of free internet services such as Google, Ebay, web-mail etc. Illustrates how commerce has come to dominate virtually all aspects of web provision, allied to their increasingly sophisticated tactics to gather data/information on all web-users. This data is then used to target us with advertising catered to our tastes / browsing habits. However, this data-trawling comes with a price, the surrender of our privacy.

The Dance Asthmatics – Siotwave – El Santo 31 Jul 2010 [Video by Nick Robinson]

The Dance Asthmatics – Siotwave – El Santo 31 Jul 2010 from Nick Robinson on Vimeo.

The Dance Asthmatics played a freakin’ awesome set at El Santo on Saturday, 31st July 2010. We were even lucky enough to broadcast it live on StarlifterRadio.com – if you did miss the gig live or on the wifi-less their set can be downloaded in it’s entirely below. This video by Nick Robinson reflects the harsher, harder end of their sound. I love the b&w night vision style used in this video. Make sure you check these guys out next time they play, they are freakin’ choice!

Zane Lowe interview with Kevin from Tame Impala

My biggest hero in Radio, Zane Lowe, had a video chat with Kevin from Tame Impala in between road side diners and playing with MGMT across the States. Tame Impala have just released a new album called ‘innerspeaker’ and it is my favourite at the mo and is in the running for my fave album of the year.
