just arrived from Poing ...

... my specimen of this nice T-shirt.
Poing is the hometown of aerotone, one of the netlabels with the sweetest electronics around. Maybe it has something to do with the name of the village ...
They had the brilliant idea to release a T-shirt as to celebrate their tenth release. If you want one, you'll have to hurry, only three left.

I also read on their site that De:Bug, a German lifestyle magazine, just started a weekly netaudio top 3. Unfortunately there is no general link or tag to have an overview of all the "Netaudio-Charts/Netaudio-Hit-Liste". As far as i understand, readers can vote on the new releases, and the highest votes get in the top 3.

Che cos�� una netlabel?

We welcome our italian netlabel friend eldino.
He told us: "'il blog di eldino' has been refered many times as the best (the only?) italian resource about this topic. Some posts are in english as well, but it's mainly addressed to italian netlabbers. I did recently a workshop in October about netlabels inside a very important italian festival about arts (read more on my blog) and i bi-weekly talk about netlabels in a radio (via telephone). Take a look :)"
eldino also has a netlabel meter: here you can visually follow how many Gigabytes netlabel music eldino has so far. Today (29-11-2007) the counter is at 126,25 Gb.
il blog di eldino resides now in the 'releases and reviews' part of the blogs sector.

Cin cin!

Any specialist a suggestion? Are there any specialists?

28.11.2007

Bart Tommelein van VLD wil Sabam aanpakken en het auteursrecht hervormen. Prima idee, maar 2 weken eerder debatteerden Marco Raaphorst, Sabam, Jasper Verdin (universal music) en Akwalek al over Sabam en diens werking. netwaves praatte na met Dirk Vervenne van Sabam, Marco en Jasper Verdin over het debat en over de relatie tussen CC en Sabam.
