Eliza Doolittle
Impressive track (Rolling Stone) from unknown Glasto bit-part, Eliza Doolittle. Should be a hit; hopefully the nasty ad men won’t spoil it by tacking a crappy TV advert to it! Her EP’s out soon. The first half is great: distinctive, retro soul with a distinctive London bite. But it creeps too close to gym cafe music with Don’t Say No though, you might want to give that track a miss. Bang Back, the final track, is supposedly just a demo (wondering what it’s doing on an EP), and is just plain irritating Mariah Carey shite. ED’s a name worth watching out for, assuming she can avoid the poppy crap (which may be a label demand, to be fair to her).

(disclosure: she’s a fellow Arsenal FC fan, and this may or may not be the reason why of all the good music I’ve recently discovered very recently, I chose to share this!)

- 50,000 scrobbled tracks; Last.fm, I love thee!
- A minor celebration is in order - according to my profile page, I've finally passed the major milestone of 50,000 tracks played on my computer or on the Last.fm website. At 4min30 per track (guesstimate) that's approx 3700 hours of listening. That's just music from my PC, and doesn't even include my mp3 listening. Blimey. Just for the record, I believe the 50,000th track may have been one of the tracks on Elbow's fantastic new LP, The Seldom Seen Kid....
- Nine Inch Nails: distribution by pirate
- The music world is abuzz with chatter about the latest Nine Inch Nails LP being released (in part - Volume 1 of 4) on a Creative Commons license! Reznor and co. put it on filesharing sites and are encouraging people to email it to friends, post it on blogs, spread it around far and wide, in the hope that it inspires people to buy the full album. As an aside, I reckon few people are realising the significance and importance of the inclusion of a multi-page PDF with the nine DRM-free tracks. I was interested in what sort of response NIN would get out of music pirates that the music industry hates so much. I had a look at the forums attached to the album's download page on an unspecified music filesharing community. This is the download page for the full 4 volumes, so these people are explicitly going against Reznor's wishes and downloading/sharing all of his new work, illegally. Admittedly, there's a vast amount of bias to people's motivations to append messages to these filesharing pages (and just 43 comments for 1,300 downloads), so this isn't a scientific approach by any means - but the response is very, very...
