Bugger it I think I must get this ‘brainworm’.

Revolectronic Society™ – This week’s FAV

Basically this is a music collective, that in my humble opinion (I must be more humble and moderate my opinions because I have been accused of being arrogant and unprofessional) – Bollocks – I think this is one of the best ‘collaborations‘ out there, if not the best. ‘Save It’ is very, very solid and (without offending – you see I’m trying hard to be…) grown up – in an on the edge sort of way.

This is what is said on ReverbNation:
Revolectronic Society is an open group of musicians and artists who’ve come together with unique styles of influence and have collaborated to create the most unusual electronic music. Society is diverse, and so are we. Revolectronic Society welcomes anyone who would like to join in! Share your talents with us, whatever it may be!

I don’t count beats and I can’t be arsed to do so, I have no idea what genre this belongs to and quiet frankly I don’t give a shit – It is on my player and I love it!

Social Networking – Top 2

1: Social Media Means Social Networking
Social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, have become great resources for finding new customers. But to get these networks (especially Twitter) to work to your advantage, networking is crucial. Your prospective clients search for companies with similar interests and services to their own and support them by “following” them or “liking” them. The idea is that those companies will return the favour — ultimately leading traffic to both sites, and helping each company grow.

2: Update, Update, Update
The World Wide Web is more dynamic than ever these days, which means it’s becoming more and more important that your clients are frequently updating their sites. Fresh content keeps people coming back for more. Facebook fan pages need daily new content, and interactive websites such as a blog should be updated at least 3 to 4 times a week. While this may sound aggressive, clients will benefit by recognizing the importance of keeping their site content fresh — without it, people will stop visiting.

The Raven – Review

If you like luscious strings the track  One Last Time is well worth listening to…but pop over to Myspace and listen to ‘Devils Path‘ for a darker look into this varied collection of tracks.

The smashing of styles and genres together creates an interesting creative, solid product. I love the string, drum, guitar (actually all) production on these tracks – even though each song has a different mood the whole thing is cohesive and very listenable.  Great stuff.
