Brilliant new tune from Massive Attack, new album in February.

I just mentioned Massive attack in your other post Kol! :)

What albums are you looking forward to next year in 2010? What big bands/artists are planning to release a new record?
Nispell and Citronella liked this
This is the one thing I don't really track. Is there a site that lists upcoming albums? I use Play.com which lists albums coming out in a few weeks but I'm thinking more long term releases.
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm looking forward to the new Hot Chip album.
- Kol Tregaskes
i'm hoping Crowded House finally get another one out before ordering their new Zimmer frames.
- Joe Silence is not Santa
Here's a good list of upcoming albums: http://www.metacritic.com/music...
- Kol Tregaskes
Pat Metheny: Orchestrion
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Out of the potential upcoming albums I'm very interested in Hot Chip, Massive Attack, Goldfrapp, Arcade Fire, Blink 182, The Fray, Noel Gallagher, Garbage, Linkin Park and The New Pornographers.
- Kol Tregaskes
I really, really hope the new Blink 182 album is like their last one, I loved that album. Garbage too (please, for the love of god make this one good), Shirley Manson, Matchbox Twenty - it'll be like being a teenager again. :) Otherwise Arcade Fire and The Shins should be good.
- Amy
Yeah I'm always worried with the bigger name artists as the track record is poor. There are very few of them that really make a good album or anything better than their previous records.
- Kol Tregaskes
I hope Ladyhawke also gets the attention she deserves.
- Kol Tregaskes
Any other tips for 2010?
- Kol Tregaskes
Massive Attack is coming out with a new album. You could always tune into Radio 1 from 7pm for Zane "im on board" Lowe. He speaks about music as if its his family. A little too much love for music for my liking, but then he seems to know who's going to be good and who's not.
- Giraffes Up In The AIr
I listen to Zane most nights. :-)

What is your favourite TV show of this year?
Chatsohbet, Alex Scoble, elnaz and 10 other people liked this
And what was your favourite new show?
- Kol Tregaskes
I've only been watching Glee. So there.
- Rodfather
I've only heard that being mentioned on FF. What's Glee about then?
- Kol Tregaskes
Probably Community first, then Glee.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Of new shows, it would probably be Glee.
- cecily
Glee's about a high school show choir, or "Glee club." It's way cooler than it sounds.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Haggis, it would have to be from that description. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Royal Pains and going to add The Good Wife still waiting on Flashforward to pick up a bit but thats not going to happen til March
- VAL D. Zone
Royal Pains
- Jeremy (cropmarks)
Lost for me, I thought this the latest season really hit the mark. 24 was good again too. As for new shows, hmm, not seen a whole season throw to the end so can't comment.
- Kol Tregaskes
Go download the first episode from somewhere (iTunes, bittorrent, w/e). I guarantee you will love it like we all do. It's just really, really, really well written and acted.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
LOST was good this year! I always forget since I consider it part of last season. I'm REALLY looking forward to the last season.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
.. and that's how Sue.. C's it.
- Rodfather
Haggis, me too. What's the bet that they'll wake up at the end as if it was all a dream but have gained all the experience? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Community is my favorite new show and in fact tied for favorite overall with 30 Rock, since the latter had a slow start yet again. Party Down would be my second favorite new show. Pushing Daisies for special mention since it didn't finish airing till Jun 2009. I tend to think in terms of the Sept-May "seasons" for TV, but if you want to go by calendar year, I might put Pushing Daisies as top show.
- Andrew C
I've not heard of Community either. What is that about too?
- Kol Tregaskes
Royal Pains is great, White Collar is good, Community is excellent, Men of a Certain Age has started well too, and Pawn Stars is also worth watching.
- AJ Kohn
Either Family Guy or Two and a Half Men...I'm a simple man
- Morgan Haley
Community's about a community college. It's really well-constructed, well-written, well-acted... the editing is about the only thing I could carp about - there are occasionally weird edits mid-scene, as if they had done several different takes on different camera angles and didn't match them up too well. Still, it's super-solid and very funny.
- Andrew C
I'd say Star Wars Clone Wars(Is that too geeky?) and Mad Men

Oh yeah, Modern Family is good. Cougar Town isn't bad either - getting better actually. Dollhouse of course and for me, Fringe is still wickedly interesting.

Glee. I haven't checked out Modern Family yet, though I hear it's terrific.

Fringe is awesome. Pushing Daisies was a great show, I'm annoyed that it got canceled. Love Dollhouse too. V is so-so. Flash Forward is pretty decent, but slow (like the second season of Lost slow). 30 Rock is funny and excellent. Burn Notice was quite good at first, but went downhill a bit, I think. More interesting list of shows I'll never, ever watch: Community, because it's just...

Kol, if you are able to gain access to Hulu, it's where I watch them.both. There's only 4 episodes of V and 10 episodes of FlashForward out, so you haven't missed much.
- Michael Fidler
30 Rock. I just started watching it this season and I have to say it's some of the smartest comedy on TV. I had a couple of marathon weekends of watching the previous 3 seasons to get caught up. I never laughed so hard as I did those two weekends.
- Jason Huebel
Tie between Burn Notice and Leverage.
- Alex Scoble
Burn Notice is excellent.
- Jeremy (cropmarks)
DOLLHOUSE
- Vezquex: God of FF
Didn't like Dollhouse, nice idea but not well executed IMHO.
- Kol Tregaskes
Agree with you Kol. Dollhouse was pants. Lost, 24, The Simpsons is back on track...i swear it is....Hank was atrocious. Kelsey Grammer lost a bit of credibility there. American Dad went downhill this year so far, but a few family guys have been ok. FlashForward was good for the first 8 episodes, but it seems now its setting itself up for a few seasons which I dont mind but would of been...

Ok, I need some help here people. TalkTalk will only support PPoA for broadband connections. My Linksys WRT610N does not support PPoA. So I may need to switch service providers. Anyone use any other protocol in the UK?? The alternative is to hack the router. Thanks guys.

Why not switch to O2 broadband? If you go through quidco you can get up to £125 cashback. I get 4-5mbit here and its unlimited, and only £7.34 a month.

My surround sound comes from Lidl. I paid £60 for it. 6.1 sourround sound.

But, this is where im confused mate. I know my PCH A110 can pass thru the dts audio but that means I need one with a dts decoder....
- Giraffes Up In The AIr
Or, I just go back through my movie collection and re-encode my audio from dts to aac....
- Giraffes Up In The AIr
Yeah. And can you do that?? I re encoded mp3 to aac a few years back. 3k tracks took a few days of non-stop encoding by iTunes. iTunes possessed the machine for that time.
- Roberto Bonini
from iPhone
Haha. Well, theres a program called Popcorn Audio Converter. The idea behind the program was for those who have the A100 model where the dts decoding isnt possible, so it removed the audio and then converted it from dts to ac3.. Apologies for confusion above with AAC. :)
- Giraffes Up In The AIr
Yeah AC3=Dolby Digital
- Alex Scoble
from IM
Well, thats it sorted then. Spoke to girlfriend, she is going to get me a basic surround sound for my xmas! :)
- Giraffes Up In The AIr
I think perhaps you mean re-encode in Dolby Digital? I don't think that AAC is a discrete multichannel codec.
- Alex Scoble
from email
Yeah, I just remmeber that Popcorn Audio Converter is a one click app to load your mkv, demuxes the dts audio and re-encodes to AC3 and then muxes it back with the video back into a MKV container! :)

Whats sickening here is these letters are being punted out as they said in the article "scattergun approach" where innocents will be targeted too. This isnt movie blockbusters they are sueing for. Its for pornographic films. If you received a letter in the post accusing you of sharing a hardcore porno, would you just pay the few hundred pound fine they were offering or would you take it...

REMEMBER PEOPLE. Its not illegal to download copyrighted material. Only illegal to share it. :) There is no rule or court case ive seen yet where someone has been accused of downloading copyrighted content only. Its always been those who were stupid enough to share the files on their beloved Kazaa or on public torrent trackers.

"This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible. The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false."

IMHO this is not a smart move. By declining the police interviews (which is perfectly within his rights to do so) and by waiting 48 hours to make a statement, he's let the media (traditional, social, and otherwise) dictate the story. In a vacuum, people will derive what information they can. Why WAS he leaving the house at 2:30 a.m., anyways?
- Glen Mistletoe
Because sometimes private matters don't require public statements.

The problem is that people, having had the situation brought to their attention, are forced to the conclusion that the reality must be much worse than the rumors.
- Glen Mistletoe
Thats a shocking tan line.
- Giraffes Up In The AIr
The real problem is that people choose to consume (or do not speak out againgst) those companies which bring it to their attention. Again, private matter. If I was in this situation, I would be caring more about my family then the media.

Tiger is a "Brand" thus for him and his many sponsors there are NO provate matters - this whole deal was badly handled this simple statement 2 days ago was good, today not so much
- WarLord
When you become a public figure; when you're earning more than a billion dollars because of your persona, it's very difficult to keep something private. When people look at this (and they will), they come to the conclusion that it is less costly to keep the rumors alive than to be truthful with what was going on. It is *not* a private matter to Buick, American Express, etc.
- Glen Mistletoe
So are we leaving him even half an inch of room for 'this was an argument between me and my wife, no affair' or are his only two choices 'Affair Rumours' and 'Admitting Affair'? The problem with giving a definative statement either way is the media will then comb your life for inconsistencies. If there is one thing the media (and really, the media just reflects what we let them to) love more than a superstar is a superstar with a gotcha moment.

I'm merely making an observation—by waiting and by making such a lightweight statement, he guarantees that someone in the media will spend time and effort trying to determine the truth. His presence in a tour event or on a magazine cover sells, and he's just guaranteed that his name and image will be appearing on far more magazine covers than if he had made a statement (even a similar statement) on Friday morning rather than waiting two days and canceling three police interviews.
- Glen Mistletoe
I agree with Glen on that point. Now it is possible that rumors would have started anyway, but without any statement from Woods (and very little from police), there was no real information to counter them. Woods is entitled to his privacy, but sometimes that private world breaks into the public. A single-car, late night driving accident is bound to raise questions.

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman"... If proven false has a lot more determental effect than if a rumor is proven correct.

Check out Dave Martin's take on it (he's a professional PR guy): http://twitter.com/martindave
- Glen Mistletoe
One thing Martin doesn't comment on... The second you deny something, even if you are completely innocent, all subsequent rumors regarding this or any other issue must be denied with the same vigor lest it raise suspicion. Short term thinking going on. Tiger hits golf balls, not deny rumors.
- Johnny Worthington
At 2:30 in the morning, there were probably only two witnesses: him and his wife. If they keep quiet then anything anyone else says is speculation. And who cares? He's not a public official. Let them alone.

A council has given the green light to a multi-million pound data centre plan for the south of Scotland. Lockerbie Data Centres (LDC) wants to build the development at Peelhouses Farm in Dumfries and Galloway, claiming it could create thousands of jobs.

So, last night @lonelycoo had an idea to share a @spotify playlist with me. With the desktop version, this is possible, but now that Spotify came out for my Nokia 5800, ive now got it on my phone. So, while i drove home from Stranraer to Glasgow, Simon decided my playlist for the drive home.

So, He added a few songs every few minutes and for the first 5-6 miles of my journey, the first few songs synced to my phone and played no problem, but once i got up into the hills of the south west coast of Scotland, the 3G connection got lost. I rejoined the songs around Ayr where the 3G signal came back in and the other 8 songs synced to my phone. If i was in a constant 3G area, this could be a fun feature thanks the genius thinking of Simon. Would you like someone to choose a playlist for you while you were out and about? Imagine its like a radio dj, but he doesnt talk to you and no adverts. Just total random music. What did i get? Simon thought i should listen to a pan pipe version of chasing cars (snowpatrol) and also about how he was now on a boat, a muthaf*cking boat. I enjoyed it! :)
