Thanks for the love

Greets peeps.

I’d just like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all the SOS DJs for their (usual) superb music over the course of last Saturday. As some of you know on SOS Radio we like to get together and put on a full day of music every Saturday, basically FOR THE LOVE.  For the love of the music and for the love of the people.  Sometimes we get it together, sometimes we don’t.  But last Saturday was one of those “I love it when a plan comes together” kinda day.

This week:
Happy Birthday Lizzie
and The Gospel According to Tito is BACK ON YOUTUBE!!!

Welcome folks.  Here’s a recording of my show from last week. Show #12-15 – Back On YouTube.

A big happy birthday goes out to Sista Lizzie from Amsterdam.  Hope you had a fun day poppet.  I know you missed some of the live show so you now have the recording to catchup on.

I’ve also been having problem with my YouTube account and unable to place any of my recent shows up there.  That seems to have been rectified now an so here we have it -

The usual oldies, goodies and fun-time tracks throughout the show.  Enjoy

Tracklist and download coming soon.

People often talk about how much the LOVE music and there is no doubt that it influences us all in our lives every day. “For the love of house”, “Music is my life” and other phrases that “BIG UP” music float around every day of the week.

I’m a great lover of music…A GREAT LOVER and after coming across this video today I felt I had to share.  This video is one of those that you never quite know how it will hit you, until you watch it.  It’s inspiring, sad, happy, moving, invigorating and enlightening.  It may not change your life, but will show the potential of the power of music.

I recently read an article written by DJ Andy Ward about the possibility of promotional music hosting websites (and in this respect, any service hosting website) inflating or “falsifying” it’s visitor numbers to get more money out of you.  For example, some services will charge you a premium depending on the amount of “plays” you get from site visitors or number/size of mixes you host with them.  The more visitors you recieve, the more of a premium you pay!

While I agree with him in principle about the falsely inflated numbers floating around the internet (a  lot of it is a sham),  I’m not sure about the companies, particular the major ones,  inflating visitor numbers to get more money out of you (although it would be an easy scam to pull).

But can the numbers be trusted?

Every-so-often I meet with people trying to do a little something for the love and not for the money. This is one such local project that I’m pleased to be part of. I’ve been asked to guest DJ and consult for a series of events happening to showcase some of the unknown talent that exists here on the coast.  The night will include live bands, singers, DJs and any other upcoming talent we care to throw at ya.  An eclectic evening of fun with friends and a chance to discover something new.
