Happy New Year

Oh, hey, happy 2005. I was going to do a big recap of all the Brad Sucks successes and failures this year but I don't think I could do it without getting all gloomy and boring. Of the positive parts: I met a lot of great people this year, the Brad Sucks uh listenership seems to still be growing at a good pace and for that I am thankful. Thank you to everyone who read my site and bought things and pushed my music on unsuspecting people in 2004. I hella appreciate every it. There are good things on the bubble for 2005 already so I should probably start replying to email.

Songfight! vs. Wikipedia

Here's a pretty rough exchange between Fightmaster Jr. (one administer of Songfight!) and an editor at Wikipedia as Fightmaster tries to get some inaccuracies fixed in the weird Songfight entry. The editor's rant is indented. I can understand the editor's perspective and the difficulties inherent in an open editing environment, but can't understand the seriously nasty attitude. The current Songfight entry weirdly fixates on the number of fight entries -- which has never been that big of a deal -- and ignores a lot of other good Songfight info. Which is fair enough, but it's kind of insane that hissy fits get thrown when the best authority on the item in question offers some revisions.

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.
