Murder Clocks or Yellow?

Hmmm... no comment.

Haha, this is crazy, but I love it. He's more obsessed than all of us put together! :lol: Are you sure this isn't the guy who founded the 'church of Chris Martin'? :P Despite that, it was a very interesting read. Thanks for posting!

I only have the Yamaha DGX 620 digital piano (the same as the one pictured in the first post in that old thread) and also an old Tanglewood electric guitar, which I can't play to save my life :D I would really like a decent acoustic guitar though, since I really only make rythem based songs on my current electric one. Oh and I might upload one or two of my piano/keyboard songs soon, when I have time :)

"EMI Taps Ricall For Synch Licenses By: Bruce Houghton 2008-02-11 Ricall, which claims to be the largest online music licensing marketplace, has signed a global deal with EMI Music. Under the agreement, EMI... ...will utilize Ricall's online platform for synchronisation licensing (the commercial use of its music in advertising, films, TV, games, new media productions and premium licensing for music promotions by major brands). The entire EMI catalog is part of the deal. From the press release: EMI Music represents a highly diverse roster of artists and one of the richest catalogs of recordings ever assembled from stars such as Lily Allen, Blur, Corinne Bailey Rae, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Coldplay, Depeche Mode, Goldfrapp, Gorillaz, Hot Chip, Norah Jones, Nigel Kennedy, The Kooks, Lenny Kravitz, Kylie, Moby, Pink Floyd, Queen, Simon Rattle, Rolling Stones, KT Tunstall, Keith Urban and Robbie Williams. Its music spans all tastes and genres - from pop, rock, urban and country, to classical, jazz, Christian and world music, to children's, easy listening and spoken word. Ronn Werre, EMI Music's Executive Vice President of Global Sales, said: "EMI Music's goal is to create maximum exposure and value for our artists' music by embracing digital technologies and providing the best service to customers. Recalls technology will help us deliver a seamless process to business clients wishing to access EMI's repertoire on a global basis. It is a great system that complements our existing search tools and is a very effective means of reaching new clients, giving our artists more opportunities to generate revenue through all kinds of established and emerging platforms." Richard Corbett, Founder and CEO of Ricall said: "We are delighted to announce this deal with EMI which will see Ricall working closely with a second major music group to promote their entire global music catalog for licensing via Ricall. Synch and premium licensing are a significant and rapidly growing source of revenue for the music industry. Recalls unique platform enables copyright owners to take full advantage of this additional market by processing a much greater volume of music licensing more efficiently and cost effectively." Key aspects of Recalls deal with EMI include: * EMI's entire global catalog of recordings will be uploaded onto Recalls existing online library - creating a total of more than three million tracks to be found and licensed at www.ricall.com. * Ricall will develop a syncsite on its website for EMI to promote artists from its own global catalog for synch licensing deals. * As a global deal, Ricall will develop syncsites for EMI's catalog in each territory and will work closely with EMI in generating the highest levels of awareness by the potential client base. * Ricall will source and license premium licensing deals for EMI tracks such as 'free to consumer' music offerings supported by major consumer brands. * Any licenses granted by EMI will always be subject to the artist's approval. Previously the labor intensive process of navigating the complicated world of music copyright to obtain a license meant only large ad agencies, promotion companies and film studios had the resources and budgets to license well known tracks for various forms of commercial usage. Recalls technology delivers a significantly more efficient process, enabling more types of buyers such as viral producers and video game developers, to find and license a greater variety of music from labels' deep back catalogues thereby helping copyright owners and commercial music users take full advantage of the long tail of both music and production. Ricall has the most comprehensive music collection available from any B2B music destination, now encompassing more than three million tracks, including every track to have ever charted in the UK and US since charts began. This online library is being added to continuously with both the latest hits as well as new releases from independent and unsigned artists." http://www.internetfinancialnews.com/financialblogtalk/news/ifn-6-20080211EMITapsRicallForSynchLicenses.html

Well, "nobody said it was easy".

My name is actually Semy, so 'Zemy101' is not all that original really. It comes from my hotmail address, which I set up 3 years ago when I thought the name was total genius. Obviously things have changed, but there's no point of changing it now, seeing as I'm so used to it.

He returns! :o

I havn't heard any of Blackbud's B-sides, anywhere I can listen to a few? Porcupine Tree have some amazing B sides, check out Drown with me, and the whole of Nil Recurring. Great stuff.

Haha, you've known about it for a while then. Yes, it better be awesome, seeing as they've been working on it for at least four years. I'm really looking forward to it.

Well call me sad but I took the image to photoshop and messed around with it for a while to try to get a clearer picture. Here's an extreme close up: [ATTACH]25165[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]25167[/ATTACH] The second one makes it a little bit clearer i think.

Intruiging! Well if that was in 2003, then they must have been working on that song for years. That might be the quintessential song they have talked about! Well spotted, by the way ;)

Same question.

:shocked2: I can't see it, though...?

So you reckon that a May release is too soon?

Ha, it was a bit aweful with the shouting and stuff, but it could have been alot worse.

Well said my friend ;)

Well I'm not sure whether there's a dream related thread in this section but i'm sure writing it here will do. I'm not gonna go into detail, but basically, last night I had a dream about listening to LP4. Not the whole thing i dont think, but certainly enough to keep my mind racing. Apparently it was Lost! and another track I was listening to. As for what the first track sounded like, lets just say that prospekt's comment about 'thrash metal' had obviously gotten into my subconcious, because that song was loud and fast. I remember it sounding like something from the Mars Volta's new album, except with chris' voice in the mix. I remember thinking 'OK, i really hope this grows on me'. All I remember from the song Lost! is this solo bass part that had a really cool riff. Other than that, I can't remember a thing. I would like to point out that at the time I really believed I was listening to the new album. When I woke up I was still replaying the tunes I had just heard in my head. It's a bit weird considering I had really just created the songs in my head, because they just sounded so real. Anyway this is a bit of a strange post so you can ignore it if you want, I just wanted to get that dream out of my system.

Well in the grand scheme of things, May seems to be quite close. Also, I don't think its safe to say that it will be released on the 19th since that date didn't come from a credible source. Anyway what I'm more worried about is what the album actually sounds like and how much they've changed their sound. I'm even more worried after a dream I had last night *finds Random Coldplay thoughts thread*

^That's been up for a good few days now i think.

Ashes to Ashes Last Updated: 12:01am GMT 04/02/2008 Stars Philip Glenister and Keeley Hawes tell Andrew Pettie about perms, prozzies and bringing the 1980s back to life in BBC1’s Ashes to Ashes Watch a clip from Ashes to Ashes Philip Glenister is trying to park his car outside the Saudi Arabian embassy, when an irate policeman stops him dead in his tracks. “You can’t park here!” bellows the policeman, brandishing a machine-gun. “And you of all people, Gene, should know that!” Glenister says real policemen are continually confusing him with DCI Gene Hunt, the rough-hewn Mancunian copper he played in time-travelling drama Life on Mars, which also starred John Simm as a modern-day DCI who falls into a coma and wakes up in 1973. Over two series, DCI Hunt, the devil-may-care Seventies dinosaur, and his fudge-coloured Ford Cortina became cult figures. On Thursday, Hunt drives screeching back onto our screens in Ashes to Ashes, somewhere between a sequel to and a spin-off of Life on Mars, this time at the wheel of a sunset-red Audi Quattro. It won’t just be the automotive experts among you who realise that times have changed. For one thing, Hunt has moved to London. For another, the year is now 1981. Keeley Hawes and Philip Glenister with the Audi Quattro “Gene has gone from being the big fish in a small pond in Manchester, to a small fish in a much bigger pond,” says Glenister. “But scum is scum wherever you are, and Gene knows how he likes to deal with that.” But as the action moves forward to 1981 – the year that Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer, and Bucks Fizz won the Eurovision Song Contest – the public’s attitude to the police is about to harden. “The writers were very clever in setting this in 1981,” says Glenister. “It’s very specific. You need the tail-end of the political movements that were so important in the late Seventies. You need the Brixton riots. Gene has the Scarman Report [an inquiry into the riots that identified a loss of public confidence in the police] hanging over him. What we see is a man losing his grip on the power he had as a policeman. Gene’s trying to do the right thing but finding it extremely difficult to fit in with the changing times.” The biggest adjustment Gene has to make, however, is to his new partner, DI Alex Drake (Keeley Hawes). Drake, to Hunt’s visible consternation, is a woman. She also, like John Simm’s character Sam Tyler in Life on Mars, belongs in the present. As Ashes to Ashes opens, Drake, a police psychologist who spent months studying Tyler, is shot in the head after a hostage situation goes awry. She wakes up on a party boat, dolled up as a prostitute, in 1981. “The clever thing about it,” says ex-Spooks star Hawes, “is that because Alex already knows Sam Tyler, she already knows the characters, like Gene, who Sam talked about meeting in 1973. She’s convinced that they are merely part of her own fantasy world. And, a bit like Sam, she thinks that everything happening to her ‘in 1981’ is only taking place in her own head.” Hunt and Drake strike up an unlikely partnership, built, says Hawes, on “sexual chemistry, as well as a grudging respect”. In the opening episode they try to crack an east London cocaine ring – a mission that leads to frantic wheelspins in the Quattro and Hunt roaring along the Thames in a speedboat spraying petrified suspects with a machine-gun. But beneath the knockabout action sequences and in-jokes is the same attention to period detail that viewers responded to so nostalgically in Life on Mars. The crew spent hours scouring eBay for props. George and Zippy, puppet stars of Eighties children’s TV series Rainbow, make a disturbing cameo in one of Drake’s dreams. Surprisingly, it proved easier finding locations in Manchester that hadn’t changed since 1973 than it was to find London locations unaltered since 1981. Considerable amounts of CGI were needed to erase modern landmarks such as the Gherkin and Canary Wharf. Glenister is especially proud of Gene Hunt’s new computer. “It’s absolutely enormous,” he says. “And all Gene can get it to do is display the time and date, and play Pong.” The Chinese also provided culinary challenges. “You’d go to lunch and there’d be a plate in front of you with bits of duck’s tongue arranged like flower petals,” he says. “Followed by mountain frog stew. That was a real meal – and you had to eat it! You had to say, ‘Gosh, this is delicious! Wow, I’m full now after just one mouthful!’” Hawes had just as much fun with Drake’s costumes. “Almost everything Alex wears is red, grey or black,” she says, “and most of it’s made of leather. Some of the clothes have dated horribly, but I was flicking through a copy of Vogue last week and there was Alex’s white leather bike jacket priced at £600. It’s exactly the look people are going for in trendy bars in Hoxton [east London] right now. Except maybe for the massive perm.” Fans of the BBC’s painstakingly authentic period dramas will be heartened to learn that Hunt’s politically incorrect attitudes to women remain as “old-fashioned” as they were in 1973. He greets DI Drake, dressed as “a prozzie”, with the words: “Christ. If your skirt was any shorter I could see what you had for breakfast.” Nowaways, Hunt would be up before an industrial tribunal. In 1981, that almost constituted a chat-up line. Ashes to Ashes is on BBC1 on Thursday, 7 February at 9.00pm. ------------------------------------------------- I'm gonna have to buy a TV to watch this now, damn.

Gravity! "dissolve"
