Just when I was congratulating myself that my Napoleon podcast was the greatest thing to happen to teaching history since the Christians realized that if they killed their enemies and burned all their books then they had total control over “the truth”… Bron introduces me to DRUNK HISTORY. Totally brilliant. I’m sick with jealousy.
How do you stop a black candidate from winning the vote? Easy. Take black voters off of the voting registers in swing-states. Read more from investigative journalist Greg Palast.
This is the follow up review to the interview I did a few days ago with Karen Paterson, Head of live! Services at Vodafone Australia and David Loiterton, Managing Director, Australia, Omnifone.
This being week three of “The Season Of Cam” – which, as you all know, runs from Sept 10 through my birthday on Oct 10 (a public holiday in many countries) through to Nov 10 – the presents are coming thick and fast from Camalista’s all over the world.
Best gifts so far received:
Magnetic Finger Puppets of Napoleon and Che from Bron:
Lunch at Belle Epoque with Tim O’Dwyer (note the absinthe fountain):
A dvd full of 51 genuine revolutionary songs from Marcelo Castro:
And the Season of Cam is still young! This year, instead of pointing you to a list of gift suggestions, I expect you all to demonstrate your intimate knowledge of me by picking gifts you know I’ll love. Can you out-do the current winners?
Today I’m chatting with Karen Paterson, Head of live! Services at Vodafone Australia and David Loiterton, Managing Director, Australia, Omnifone, about the new service just launched in Australia called MusicStation.
Here’s the blurb from the press release:
==== START EVIL PRESS RELEASE ====
Vodafone Australia today launched MusicStation, Australia’s first unlimited mobile music download service, available exclusively to Vodafone customers.
Vodafone MusicStation provides unlimited access to a catalogue of over one million tracks, from Amy Winehouse to the Zutons, for a flat fee of $2.75 per week, with no download fees. Major record labels
including Universal Music Group, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, EMI Music and Warner Music Group,
along with a range of local and independent artists including Shock, Liberation Music, All Killer, Blue Pie,
Destra and MGM, contribute to the MusicStation catalogue.
At launch, MusicStation is available to download on nine handsets: LG KU990 Viewty, Nokia 6121 classic, Nokia E65, Nokia N73, Nokia N95 8GB, Sony Ericsson C902, Sony Ericsson W880i, Sony Ericsson W890i, and the Nokia 6210 Navigator. The Nokia 6210 comes with the MusicStation application preloaded.
==== END EVIL PRESS RELEASE ====
Disclaimer (or lack of one) – Because I know you’re a cynical bunch, I always disclose financial deals or whatever when I do these kinds of PR shows. In this case I wasn’t paid to do the interview but they are sending me a handset to test the service. I don’t have it yet though, so my questions are based on the press kit. I agreed to have them on the show because I like the idea of all-you-can-eat music download services although I have a few concerns about how they are bringing this particular one to market.
Please support the show by throwing me some cash to cover the bills or, if you’re tight on the cash front, by blogging or Twittering about the show or joining the G’Day World Facebook group. There is a list of things you can do to support the show here.
