I was at the TUC March for the Alternative and at some of the UK Uncut Occupy for the Alternative actions. This is my blog about what happening.
Developments:
I am starting a new podcast in May. It's called:
Getting Better Acquainted
Part 1: A ten minute monologue where Dave helps the audience get better acquainted with him by telling autobiographical stories.[A podcast is like a radio show that is released over the internet and can be downloaded and played on mp3 players (such as iPods).]
Part 2: A long-form conversation [45-1hr] where Dave gets better acquainted with someone he knows.
Part 3: Audience feedback
To find out more about GBA and to find out about how you can take part check out this blog. I will be approaching many people on this email list about the show more fully at a later date. Go here for a sneak peak at the music for the show.
Four Days in a Room a new podcast series, has it's 13th episode coming out on Monday
"Discussing profound things in a silly way." "A podcast experiment." "An audio journey." "A strange muffled voicemail message that you can't stop listening to!"
Subscribe to it via iTunes. / Or follow it's RSS feed. / Like it's facebook page. / Listen to it on MixCloud
We're blogging the episodes and the reactions to the episodes here: http://www.fourdaysinaroom.co.uk/
If anyone fancies giving listening to it and want a recommendation these are my personal top 5 of the ones we have broadcast:
5. Episode 8: "Is consciousness an evolutionary disadvantage?"
4. Episode 6: Flashback to the first morning
3. Episode 7: "Yes it's Fu*king Political"
2. Episode 9: The Melvin Episode
1. Episode 11: The Journey
Please spread the word and subscribe, we've had a lot of great and interesting feedback to what's gone out so far. The show will take you (and took us) to all sorts of places. Please travel with us. Engage with us. And judge us.
Speaking of listening journeys, said.fm has recently had a few fantastic make overs and is set for some even more exciting developments in the future. If you like audio that's the place to listen. Here's a good blog what they wrote telling you why: http://blog.said.fm/a-clear-signal-through-the-noise (Check out my audio selections here.)
Some of my friends have some good projects. Here are two I want to get behind:
The Hackney Hear: An interactive GPS-triggered audio tour of Hackney, revealing the borough’s best kept secrets in 400 unique audio pieces.
This will be great, but it needs your help. They are doing it through crowd-funding. Which means they need your donations. Even a couple of quid would do. That's the thing with crowd -funding, everyone can pay a small bit and big things can happen. If you can't donate you can support them and spread the word via their facebook and twitter accounts.
Content - a new British sci fi drama: 148 years in the future, a group of strangers lose their 3D `internet' connection and must set out across a forgotten world to find it again.
This project is just an idea at the moment. But it's a great and well developed idea. My friend has written the first two episodes and he is involved in various different approaches to getting it made. Check out the Pitch and the Plot Outline. If you like it then like the facebook page. He may be looking for collaborators to help make trailer or promo videos of it. He's really looking to engage audiences in the process of creating this show.
New band still seeking members. (Please spread the word/get in touch)
The Plural's March 20th track is now available for your listening consideration. We are writing/recording/mixing and releasing 12 songs over 12 days over 12 months. By December we'll have an album of material.
Listen to our first 2 tracks (and all future tracks) on our SoundCloud page.
Like our facebook page to keep informed of when our tunes come out.
The Middle Class Bastards are also available on SoundCloud for free streaming and download. As me and Alex prepare to go in a different musical direction, under a different name, we thought it was time we tidied up the house we are leaving, so that if we ever come back it will be a neat and tidy place to return to.
The Reactionaries album is now AVAILABLE! Yes, over a year after it was finished, and after being mistreated by some people who mess musicians about, we have decided to go completely virtual and completely FREE!
So you can stream and download the album from our SoundCloud page. You can see and download the album artworks and lyrics on our Flickr page.
Other Reactionary places are myspace and facebook
We won't be getting started again properly till September but... The Reactionaries will probably be performing live for the first time at Autumn Shift on May 14th watch the above space for details and developments.
Yours,
Dave
