I´ve recently read on some blog (Create Digital Music), that last.fm is going to spend some royalities for trax that are played. How much that is still isn´t known, it will probably depend on the amount of traffic this generates. Well, so me being a fulfilled artist (has anybody noticed the joke in the last two words?!) I uploaded some tracks an so on. And I must say I am a bit confused and do not really understand how this thing works. First you have to upload your songs as an album… huh? Ok, well did that. Then your songs are on, and what next!? Well I suppose someone has to listen to them and tag them. That´s where you come in. So everybody (yes, that includes you of the million of people who read this blog :)) go listen to my songs on last.fm. There are only a few available by now. But I´ll put up more of them, as well as some pics and a bio. Who the fuck needs a bio, I want music! So if you already aren´t a member there, go here: last.fm and have fun!

UPDATE: I´ve just discovered how they would like to pay me:
- If your track is played on our free radio service you will accrue a 10% of the Share of Last.fm’s Net Revenue (see the definition of “Share” and “Net Revenue” in the terms and conditions) from the free radio service.
So hope they do make a lots of revenue back there at last.fm!

READYdot set 08/08/08 at the d:qliq

UPDATE 2: or copy/paste this into the adress line of your browser:
www.readydot.net/BIN/READYdot_set.zip

Explanations tomorrow.

UPDATE: So here some explanations. The set was recorded last Friday. The d:qliq was half crowded and we were in a good mood. Could be that the download is slow, because of my provider. If it is, let me know and I´ll up it to another place. The download is 226 MB. The length is appr. 2h 40m. It´s a LAME encoded MP3, should work on every mp3-player. The materials used: Pioneer CDJ-200 and DJM-600 as provided by the d:qliq, a Mac with Rane Serato interface and software, KORG KP3 and Alesis Bitrman. Was recorded with an iKey plus to LaCie External HD.

So… I hope you like it. Let me know!

Please stand by!

UPDATE: Had to cut some parts, because of tremendous volume differences. I´m not yet used to the iKey. Should be up around midnight.
