I’m in that podcasting mood again. Here’s a little mix i’ve assembled with a bit of randomness in mind. Its not shuffled but the links are pretty abstract. I’ve been observing a lot of freaky coincidences lately and felt this a good opportunity to celebrate it. Chances are, if we’ve not met yet, we will. And if we don’t you probably know one of the songs from this playlist and we can all draw connections between you, me and a song. And you’re thinking I’ve gone totally bonkers right?

2. Blur - Tender (Cornelius Remix)
3. Blackalicious - World of Vibrations
4. The Kleptones - 1150 Closer To The Boxer
5. Ray Charles - I Got a Woman
6. Olo Worms - Tortoise Shell
7. Count Basie Orchestra & Tony Bennet - Ol’ Man River

While the hum of the fan ticks over for the last few times, the overheating power supply ebbs out its warm glow, the screen fades to black lets take a moment to ponder who killed the PS3 and why did it happen?

At five to nine Monday on BBC Radio 4 a full frontal assault on user-generated content was made by the new self-styled (user-generated?) ‘anti-christ of silicon valley’.
Andrew Keen has written a book entitled ‘Cult of the Amateur‘, he discussed his belief that “the Internet is killing our culture and assaulting our economy”.
I have ordered a copy so reserve judgement on the book however Andrew said some pretty interesting things that went against the grain for me.
