Interview with Tony Colman, London Elektricity and label boss at Hospital Records

doing a bit of googling when I couldn't sleep tonight and I came accross this video interview with Tony Colman of London Elektrcity / Hospital Records fame.

Tony talks about everything from his first label shenanignas peddling records round London to touring with a live band and how to make a bass tone that rocks the dancefloor.

Great Stuff.

this has also opened my eyes (and web browser) to the online red bull music academy. theres a shit load of resources here and video interviews and generally interesting content for any muso or wannabe out there

My Nike+ running thingy

I have just joined a 'challenge' on Nike+ to run 50km in May.
I've only done about 12Ks with my Nike+ so far and I've had it since March so this should definitely get me using it more and hopefully getting fit into the bargain.

I think 50km (which is about 13 times round Centennial Park) is doable in a month if I set my mind to it so I am really looking forward to this challenge.

Find more info on getting fit and Nike+ over at Fit Fanatics

Here's the challenge leaderboard. My progress is tracked against my Nike+ user ID - richard_w.

I just found this article which suggests how you might go about adding custom folders to My computer, so they are accessible in save dialogs etc.

I'll give it a go later and post an update if it works. This is something that has bugged me for ages.
