This Is Belgium Part One: New Beat

I like music. Everyone "likes music". Soulwax released their 24-part video mix series five (5!) years ago, and there's still been nothing comparable when it comes to the range of musical styles covered or their inventive visual themes that come with each instalment.

Bridal Party Problems: How Bachelorettes Are Ruining Gay Nightlife

Still at it, yes. But let's be fair: a growing number of male adults are influenced by- and behaving just like this.

If you ask Provincetown denizens, bachelorettes are yanked directly from bad reality TV.

Gary Numan Thinks The Music Industry's Collapse Is A Beautiful Thing

"As an artist, I would much rather have the fan standing right there. They give me their money. Here’s my album. We have a little chat. Fantastic. A nice, close interaction. We’re talking to each other and there’s nobody in between. I think the music industry has been plagued by people getting in between artists and fans."

We talked to synth pop pioneer Gary Numan about Moog synthesizers and the state of the music industry.

Wayback: Honey Soundsystem Potcast 146

You still have time to catch San Francisco's Honey Soundsystem tonight at Vancouver Art and Leisure! (But I'll be busy working on a film crew up in the mountains, so go have some fun for me!) Either way, you can always listen to this podcast I did for Honey Soundsystem almost exactly four years ago!

In honour of San Francisco’s Honey Soundsystem collective sending two of theirs up to Vancouver Art & Leisure tonight, here’s a flashback to a mix I made for their podcast in 2012 &…

Beat matching with vinyl (infographic, from http://loops.directory/blog/the-art-of-beatmatching/ )

In 2015, Vinyl Earned More Than YouTube Music, SoundCloud, and Free Spotify COMBINED - Digital...

A very worthwhile read about the values placed on music and media we consume. But let's keep this in perspective: if vinyl sales brought in $422.3 million in 2015, that's still not much. So, if that's greater than what these digital platforms take in (combined), shouldn't the focus be on how little they earn (and naturally, how artists and labels get practically nothing from them)?

http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2016/03/22/in-2015-vinyl-earned-more-than-soundcloud-vevo-youtube-music-and-free-spotify-combined/

Vinyl's just a fad, right? Not exactly: according to the latest figures, LPs are move valuable than free Spotify, YouTube, and SoundCloud combined.
