Win Ampsex’s album ‘Original Sound Recordings’

Friday, May 19th, 2006

Ampsex competitionOver on the Unsigned Rock Podcast, I’ve got a competition running for the next couple of weeks in conjunction with Ampsex to win their latest album, ‘Original Sound Recordings’. It really is a wicked album - well worth checking out! Click the picture on the right for more details!

I’ve played ‘My Friend is a Punk‘ on the latest show, and last time round I played ‘Crazy Bitch‘, both from the album. Also, the guys are playing a gig at Rasputin Records in Campbell, California at 7p.m, so although a bit of a hike for me, go check it out if you’re in the area. More info from their MySpace page.

To win, simply check out the latest show and answer the question! Easy peasy. Who doesn’t like competition and a chance to win free music?!

My other passion, music

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006

Things have been a bit quiet the last week or so as I’ve been indulging in my other major passion which doesn’t get much coverage on here - music. I’ve kinda hinted at my guitar gear and stuff, but that’s about it. Although I’m not playing quite as much as I’d like other than a load of acoustic stuff, I’m very much into podsafe music and have been following various bands + artists for about 6-12 months and listening to a few good podcasts over time as well.

MusicFigured I may as well start up my own podcast to help promote podsafe music and some bands + artists I’ve been getting into. Am also trying to bring in audio clips from the bands themselves to introduce tracks, talk about upcoming releases, etc. and have some good material lined up for the next few shows such as live interviews and sessions, and commentary recorded direct from the studio from a really good upcoming British band recording their new album. But, the first podcast of the Unsigned Rock Podcast is now available - http://podcast.fouldsy.com/?p=11 featuring Coppermine, Ezra Thomas, Dakota, 4th Floor and SeasonStream.

Jumping on the bandwagon? I don’t think so. Helping the cause, I’d say :-)
