Remix Update

Remixes, a mashup and a cover, oh my:

Latest source is still I Think I Started a Trend (61mb). Other source is available here. Send me your mixes.

Airplay

A shout-out to podcasts that have been playing my junk:

I'm also told I was part of an impromptu battle of the bands on the Jay Thomas Show on Sirius satellite radio where I lost to Jay Thomas's 14 year old son. That's pretty awesome, but also a crushing blow and a massive intelligence failure.

Thanks to anyone else out there forcing people to listen to my music. Drop me a line if I missed any places!

Updated site design

Slightly rearranged site design is online now. The blog is now here. Please update your links for uninterrupted Brad service. In the site design there were a few goals:

  • Reduce sidebar clutter. I'm down to one now and working through it in therapy with the love and support of my family.
  • Move the weblog to a /blog/ page, to make the site a bit less crazy for new people.
  • Break up the news and weblog so I don't feel like I'm burying the news whenever I blog.

The front page is just a placeholder right now and will have a static, more traditional band design in the future once I have something worth featuring there.

There's now a Flash player on the right sidebar under my album for a quick listen. I'm not usually a big fan of Flash, but in this instance I think it's way more convenient than having MP3 links. You can still get the MP3s on the album or music pages of course. Let me know if you have any feedback.

Remixes and More

Here's some remixes and also the first mash-up I've gotten:

The latest remix source is for I Think I Started A Trend (61mb). As always, please deliver to me your remixes and I will be most pleased.

I'm going to be presenting an award on The Skinny on Sports' award show podcast - The Skinnies. Presenters include Adam Curry, Dave Slusher, Michael Geoghegan and some other familiar names. Apparently listeners have the chance to win a 1 gig iPod Shuffle and Etymotic 61 earphones, the show should be up on and after Wednesday.

I'm working on a lot of Brad Sucks related stuff and hope to start actually finishing some of those things soon or at the very least die in my sleep and have them released posthumously.

I'm on a Tuneplug

My album's included on the just-released Magnatune Tuneplug (the Rock Music Collection Volume One). It's a reusable USB flash drive that comes pre-loaded with the top 10 selling rock albums on Magnatune. Included are albums from Artemis, Arthur Yoria, Brad Sucks, Burnshee Thornside, Emmas Mini, Fluid, Jade Leary, Myles Cochran, The Kokoon and Tom Paul.

It comes in various sizes, but it's $70 US for the 512MB model. I seem to remember that it'll be available at some retail outlets, but you can read more about it and buy it online here.

Remix Update

A batch of freshly hatched remixes:

Despite a few additions this week, Sick as a Dog gets the award for being the least remixed song so far.

Apparently the remix podcast feed was broken, it should be fixed now. Thanks to Herbert for letting me know.

There's an interview with me here I did a while ago. As for Podcast play, I think The Skinny on Sports is using my music as an intro/outro. I see others fly by on Technorati but I lack the drive, ambition and organizational skills to write them down.

Hey, if you're the person who did the MatterOverMind remix of Making Me Nervous, please email me as I've lost your address. I'm on the home stretch of contacting remixers for the remix compilation.

Remixes and Update

Here are some of the remixes and news that it's taken me forever to post. A bunch of the remixes are ones I downloaded from Remixfight from before it got hacked (by the same security hole it seems that took out my forums and server some weeks ago):

Latest source is for Sick as a Dog and you can get it here. Get your remixes in to me and you could be on a remix compilation coming out in the new year. Ooh la la!

Other junk:

  • You can buy individual songs off my album on MSN Music now. Previously you could only buy the whole album, glad that's fixed.
  • Apparently Australia's Triple J station played something by me and mentioned me. That is sweet.
  • Drew Tetz tipped me off to my songs being used in yo-yo videos (1 and 2) The first one is from "The 2004 World Yo-Yo Contest" and is pretty hardcore.
  • I've lost track of all the Podcasts that are playing me. I think one was plph.radio and I did a semi-custom intro for the Reel Reviews back when I had time to spare.

That is all for now.

I am the remix misplacer

In the server chaos of last week, I misplaced all the remixes people had sent me. If yours hasn't been posted yet, feel free to send it again and I'll try not to have some sort of disaster befall me until I get them online.
