Something that made me happy at least.

I, and many others, have complained about the Soundclick changes that have occurred recently. However, today I stumbled across a change for VIP members that is really cool. VIP's can now much more easily embed single songs and all tracks into websites, myspace, emails and facebook. Take a look at the top left of this page and you'll see my Soundclick radio station featuring my songs that will play in order.

Previously I had this ability, hacked together by Lee Swazst, for a single song and it didn't work on Firefox, now it works well and I can torture you all even more.

Please take some time to listen to the two most boring people in podcasting, Tony Butterworth & Dave Criddle, discussing songwriting and Rikky Rooksby books.

* Keeping the energy when recording
* Drums first or last
* Don't let the technology get in the way of the song

and much much more is discussed.
