Google Music

I don’t want to keep posting about Google really I don’t. I don’t think that they’re quite the “not evil” entity that they set out to be but this evening I’m genuinely impressed at how Google Music seems to be developing. Except for one irritating factor it’s STILL U.S. ONLY.

But it will apparently be free for life, up to a 20,000 song upload limit and they’re also supporting independent artists with a 70/30 deal!

I can’t download and use the mobile app yet but do have an account and it works via my mobile’s browser or a standard web browser.

I’m intrigued at the song/artist suggestion feature too, and hoping it’s nearly as good as Last.fm? Having new music 30 second song previews is underwhelming but full song sharing with friends is a bit more like it.

No access to the shop yet either from the UK. Here’s hoping it’s officially coming soon.

Google+ Pages are live

They’ve been a long time coming but Google pages are live. Google Apps were updated recently so that they could also join G+ and that’s opened the way for pages.

I’ve set up a page for Technotik. It’s early days yet but I’ve got a good feeling about this. Like I said way back in the mists of time, who’d bet against Google?


Here’s the link to create a G+ page https://plus.google.com/u/0/pages/create.

And here’s the link to the G+ Page badge https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/badge/config

New E.P. from Bird

I love this band – as I’ve mentioned many times before. Here’s a way too short video I made at their gig in Bridgnorth back in August. You can buy their new EP now too :-)

Or you can have listen to the E.P. on Spotify here.
