Netvibes offers a very nice user interface for listening new podcasts. All subscribed podcasts appear in a basic rss-feed form, but there are two buttons for each entry: “listen” and “download”.
Basically you can stream every podcast which sounds interesting before downloading it. As I’ve subscribed to nearly 30 different podcasts, it took all my bandwidth to download all the new casts everytime I opened iTunes. I’m more than happy to select the best mixes using this interface and leaving iTunes just for my music library.
After a few trance/progressive mixes, our next podcast guest dj concentrates fully on house. DJ Flight is one of the rising names in Finland at the moment and definitely worth checking. His mixes vary from smooth, melodic yet easily approachable house to full-on technoish electro house. For more, see www.djflight.com.

Aamulehti vertailee tänään ilmestyneessä lehdessä sanoilla “Turku” ja “Tampere” saatuja YouTube-hakutuloksia. Jutussa mainitaan myös turkulaiselta “Orion@Choon!”-klubilta kuvattu pätkä, jossa on “jo mainoksen tuntua”.
What?!
Chooneissa oli todella hauska käydä, mutta että klubi vaihtoi oikein nimensäkin sen jälkeen? ;)

Today: Orion’s one hour mix on Radio Laserpoint, 21:00-22:00 (CET+02), guest mix on Fresh Waves, a show by Denis Vakulin. Tune in here.
I guess (or hope) everyone’s already aware of the climate change report which was published yesterday. The panel concluded that it was at least 90% certain that human emissions of greenhouse gases rather than natural variations are warming the planet’s surface.
So we should act.
But doesn’t it feel a bit odd to buy a energy light saving light bulb when currently there are over 2500 coal mines in China and dozens (or even hundreds) more are being built every year?
No wonder people are thinking that the actions of one individual do not count.
But it’s worth remembering that even though you’re thinking your actions won’t count, it still is a bigger bad when you won’t do what you easily COULD do.

We have a very, very nice podcast spring coming up.
In the end of February, I’ll be casting a one hour progressive breaks mix. Early birds can catch a copy of it already on the LCS party in Turku, Finland, 24.02.2007 – the promoters are giving out 50 free CDs at the event.
Also some very good guests coming up. We’ll be having some oldskool progressive/trance on the podcast – as earlier :) But in addition, we’ll be bringing there some variety and sharing some grrreat funky breakbeat and electro house mixes.
In March – if everything goes as planned – we’ll be introducing one of the top DJs of Finland with a very rare live recording.

Apo ruotii näppärästi forumeilla tekijänoikeusjärjestöjen toimintaa.
… kuvio menee aika huvittavaksi jos otetaan skenaario missä dj ostaa verkosta mp3:n ja imuttaa sen kovalevylleen, polttaa sen kaupasta ostetulle cd:lle ja soittaa radio-ohjelmassa jota kuunnellaan takseissa, kahviloissa tai kampaamoissa.
1. Kovalevyistä menee korvaus tekijänoikeusjärjestöille
2. Mp3sesta menee korvaus tekijälle, levymerkille ja verkkokaupalle
3. Kaupasta ostetusta cd:stä menee korvaus tekijänoikeusjärjestöille
4. CD-polttimesta maksetaan korvaus tekijänoikeusjärjestöille
5. CD:lle polttamisesta maksetaan mekanisointimaksu tekijänoikeusjärjestöille
6. Radioasemat maksavat könttäsumman tekijänoikeusjärjestöille
7. Radiolähetystä vastaanottavat ammattinharjoittajat (jonka asiakkaat kuulevat musiikin) maksavat tekijänoikeusjärjestöilleTekijänoikeusjärjestöt tilittävät rahaa jollain kriteerillä valitsemaansa suuntaan, mutta ottavat sitä ennen hallinnointikulut itselleen.
Onko edellämainitussa oikeasti mitään järkeä?
I ordered my FON 3.12.2006. It arrived yesterday (17.1.2007). That’s a bit more than two weeks they promised…
Also, my latest order from Hard To Find Records took one month until they mailed me yesterday. The package had come back to them. I had asked to deliver the package to the address of my friend, but now it seems, though, they had delivered the package to his address but with my name written on it. Of course it was returned to sender.
They have a “GIVE EXTRA INFORMATION HERE” box on their online order form, but do they really read what you write there…?
Surely they’ll be asking me to pay the delivery costs double now. Surely I won’t.
FON and HTFR could collaborate under the name “Hard To Find Finland“.

Last week, what did the new democratic congress do?
a-passed legislation forcing the government to negotiate with drug companies in order for medicaire recipients to pay less for prescription drugs.
b-passed legislation limiting the influence of corporate lobbyists in washington.
c-raised the minimum wage.
d-passed legislation lifting the federal ban on stem-cell research(or possibly they’re about to pass this legislation).
e-passed legislation lowering the interest rates that students have to pay on college loans.
And – last week, what did George W. Bush do?
a-put forth a plan to send 21,000 new troops to iraq(without any clear plan for what these new troops will actually DO once they get there).
b-vowed to veto house legislation calling for federal funding for stem-cell research(you need to keep in mind: the embryo’s that they want to use for stem-cell research will be thrown in the garbage if they’re not used for stem-cell research).
c-moved to open up more areas of the gulf coast and the alaskan tundra for oil exploration.
d-vowed to veto house legislation attempting to make drugs more affordable for medicaire recipients.

Pienen tauon jälkeen hieman Teosto-asiaa.
Jos DJ:n tilanne ei kaikkine uudelleenmekanisointimaksuineen ole helppo, ei valokuvaajakaan kovin helpolla pääse. Peter Forsgård selvitti Teostolta ja Gramexilta valokuva-slideshow:n musiikin maksuja.
