I like to have a collection of different playlists with ones for my favourite remixes or ones containing a certain word!

The one I really listen to a lot lately is the one that I made from the music from the TV show Monkey Dust, which has been getting bigger over the time that I have discovered tracks that were used in the classic BBC show.

So what’s your excuse for making playlists, do you make then often, or don’t you bother?

A group based on Facebook called “RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE FOR CHRISTMAS NO.1” have asked fans to download the single “Killing in the Name” in a fight to get  the X-factor winner away from the number one spot and almost 1 million fans have come to the call to help RATM hit the spot.

The FaceBook group has been so successful that Killing in the Name has sold around 500,000 copies compared to Joe McElderry who has sold around 450,000, so RATM now have a Christmas number one under their belt and ironically it’s their first number one single.

So I salute you guys and let’s all blast it out on our iPod, stereo and anywhere else we can play, but turn the volume down near the end, we wouldn’t want to upset our Grans now would we! Or would we, HELL YEAH!!!!

My little electronica project called Remergence has a few tracks on iTunes, CDBaby, eMusic, Napster, Rhapsody, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com and several other online stores!

So I’m been cheeky now and asking for everyone’s help in supporting my music, I doubt I could ever get to number one as I couldn’t get that many people to download my music, but one can always dream, it would be nice and it would certainly be a nice Christmas present to get a good amount of downloads

Some users do have the option in the iTunes store page at the top right of the screen under quick links and others don’t, some can even get the option back by signing out of their account and then signing back in again, but for the majority of iTunes users the link to the iTunes Plus Upgrade page has gone, never to return.

If you do want to find the page to upgrade your previously purchased iTunes store tracks then simply follow this link to the iTunes Plus Upgrade page and you can then be able to upgrade your tracks to that better quality.

Hope this helps

My rant today is about annoying neighbours! As I type this post all I can hear from my next door neighbour is the constant thump, thump, thump of extremely load music a blatant attempt at noise pollution and it’s really f****** me off, I mean come how bloody load do you need to have music when you’re washing a car!

Ok! So the weather is nice enough to wash the car, but does he need to have the music SO LOUD I CAN’T HEAR MYSELF THINK! Get a bloody iPod and stick the headphones on!

It maybe just me, but I was brought up to respect my neighbours and not have my music so load that half the street can hear it……..

Ok little rant over, I feel a little better now (not much though)

So here is a short run down of some of the sites that you may or may not know of that I like to use:

Blip.fm is probably the most known of the websites that people use to find and tweet music, it’s easy to use just use a search box to find the artist or track you are looking for and then “blip” it. You can join in with your friends on there blips and re-blip, plus recommend tracks to friends, it’s all a bit of good clean fun.

Another site is Twisten.FM, again this is similar to Blip.fm, but it has a more simplified interface and for me it is a lot easier to search for artists, it also seems to use GrooveShark for it’s hosted music, which lately has quite a large list of track by known artist plus a lot of unknown, unsigned artists, so even better if you’re an artist trying to get heard

Twt.fm is even more simplified and you just enter the artist name and track name, but, you can also enter the URL of a hosted MP3 to get the track to play. The site used imeem quite a bit when I’ve tried it, so as long as a track is there, then there seems to be a good chance of the track playing. Once you have found the track you want, then you just tweet it.

So there you have it, just a few of the sites that are out there for sharing music with your fellow tweeter, yes I know there are a lot more out there which do the same jobs, but I’m doing all the work here now it’s down to you lot to let me know anymore you may know of

It’s hard to think that this is the seventh studio album from these guys and they certainly aren’t showing a drop in their standards, The Legend of the Black Shawarma had me hooked right from the very first track.

Strangely the album is named after a shawarma, a middle eastern wrap or sandwich the equivalent of a doner kebab!, the title of the album was also inspired by Shawarma Hazan, a shawarma restaurant where Erez and Amit used to eat in their hometown in Haifa.

Infected Mushroom had originally intended for the album to be a concept album, the concept being a food diary of the group’s favourite restaurants. Thus came the first tracks written for the album, named after the restaurants Poquito Mas, Sa’eed, and most notably Shawarma Hazan. However, the group eventually decided to break off from this concept, with songs such as the lead single, Smashing the Opponent.

The album is hard paced, electronic and heart pounding hot! Right from the start through to the end of the album, you will take in every sound and instrument and when you get to track four “Smashing the Opponent” featuring vocals by Jonathan Davis, yes the front man of Korn, you sing along to the lyrics, just brilliant.

My recommendation is get you hands on this album even if you’ve never heard of Infected Mushroom you’ll love every minute, credit where credit is due, this is just an amazing album…

Those that follow my Twitter will have noticed that I was tweeting updates as they came in and my last tweet was this picture and “LA coroner confirms “king of pop” Michael Jackson dead at the age of 50 from cardiac arrest.”

It all seemed to break into a frenzy when entertainment website TMZ announced on its website “Michael Jackson has been rushed to hospital” and then shortly after another announcement that would shock the world and also send the Twitter community into an online barrage of Michael Jackson tweets, “Michael Jackson has Died“.

I have never been a fan of Michael Jackson, but he was a talented artist and through all his problems and controversy, he is known by everyone and will be sadly missed by his mass of fans and those in the music industry that have admired his music.

EMI have a new site and it’s currently in beta, but so far it looks and runs fantastically, so what’s it all about then, well to put it simply the EMI website is an Online Music site where you can stream a great collection of tracks by a vast collection of artists, make your own playlists and has a great collection of features to entice you into the artists music that is listed on the site and believe me there’s lot of it!

The home page greats you with a carousel of releases for you to pick from, a bit like the way album covers can be flicked through on an iPod and iTunes, you get the latest news, an RSS feed and on the right of the screen a video which plays as soon as the website loads, nice touches indeed.

Next the “Discover” tab, putting it simply a search box for you to find artists which are similar to an artist that you like, I tried this by typing in “Orbital” my all time favourite electronic duo and it came up with the like of Bjork, Aphex Twin, 808 State, Kraftwerk and Leftfield. So in my point of view that’s almost spot on, works for me.

“Artists” is the next tab, “My God it’s full of stars!” been dying to use that for ages, but it is, here you can browse through “Breakthrough Artists” and just browse artists, clicking on an artists picture takes you to the discography page for the artist, with music to stream, videos, photos and bio, I clicked through a few and there are some great artists listed, shame not to see Remergence on there yet thought

Onto the “Charts” tab, again this really speaks for itself with a list of the top streamed tracks and artists.

The last tab on the site is the “My Stuff” tab, this is where you can build your own playlists of the tracks that you have found on EMI and enjoy listening to, edit your account and even grab a widget so you can share your playlist with your friends, nice touch.

Overall the EMI site is great for finding even more artists to listen to and another site for you to stream music from while your doing other things, very nice indeed, the sound quality of the tracks when streaming is good and clear, and all the well known names that you may like are mostly on there, so another plus point.

A thumbs up from this music fan, simple design, easy navigation and great tunes will certainly build this sites reputation amongst music fans everywhere.

So how do you get your hands on music from the internet that is legal to download?

A great way to artist that you enjoy is to be a member of Last.FM, on the home page when you are logged in you’ll see down towards the bottom of the page a “Free Downloads” section, this will have a selection of free legal music downloads that your favourite artists have available for your to download, now I’m not saying you’ll get free tracks from top artists all the time, but you’ll certainly get a good collection of tracks to download….

Another fantastic place for free music, if your quick, is Amie Street, I personally use Amie Street a lot myself and you can get new releases from some of the top artists, but with the big names you have to be quick, as an example: I downloaded the new Crystal Method album Divided by Night for the crazy cost of around $2 yes that right, but within minutes the price had shot up.

But Amie Street is also great for discovering new artists and their releases are also free, the system works in a way that all releases are free until they get popular and then the price goes up gradually, so been first in is ideal, I would highly recommend Amie Street.

There are of course other sites out there that are similar, but these are the main two that I use to get my hands on some excellent music for free and for a fraction of the cost of other retailers.

But besides that, some of the music is quite good, not brilliant, but quite good and maybe Eurovision Song Contest has become a bit of a musical comedy over the years, yes I know I am upsetting a lot of people saying that I don’t like it and will probably get stacks of replies telling so, but everyone, including me, has their own opinions on what we like and dislike.

For those that haven’t heard, Norway won last nights Eurovision with 387 which I believe is a record score! So I’ve been told, so congratulations to the winner and commiserations to our very own Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, it just goes to prove that been a “musical genius” doesn’t give someone the ability to win.
