Commodore Remix

Good news: Apparently there's a segment on CRC on Danish P1's "Harddisken" this week. I just pulled in the latest show from their podcast feed. There's even a snippet of Trauma talking about the gig in the introduction they do in the opening minute of the show.

Bad news: That particular segment has been edited out of the mp3 that they distribute on the podcast feed.

More info (in Danish): http://www.dr.dk/Videnskab/Harddisken/P ... 111022.htm

( EDIT: Turned out that I was the only one having a problem with the "listen" link on that page. Listening to the segment now. )

Well, actually there's bits and pieces of interviews done with Rob, Jeroen, Søren and I... Furthermore bit and pieces of Axes Denied's, PPOT's and more with Visa Röster's performance.

Most of the segment time is used with Rob's and Jeroen's interview.

So we are going to get _some_ media time on this, a little late, but that's ok

I have to say that "This Is How We Party" being based on a Jeroen Tel tune is probably my favourite of all the facts I've learned this year. I do wish, though, that they had chosen a bit from our performance in which you could actually hear the lead synth...

I lost count of how many times Rob says "Ya know"

That was a pretty good radio-spot me thinks.

Of coz, if you'd been tuning to the C64 Take-away you'd have known this from listening to show 13.

They (Danish national radio) have completely f*cked up the pictures. Axes Denied is now the featuring picture for some completely unrelated article: http://www.dr.dk/Videnskab/Harddisken/forside.htm

I know!

Wasn't it strange that they didn't mention SID'80s AT ALL?

I wrote them and had some suggestions also concerning the website, but... well... nothing happened, I guess...

I've got a "I'll look into it and get back to you ASAP" e-mail from someone at DR in my inbox. That was on October 6th, and he has yet to get in touch.

Jan: You wrote to DR about CRC?

It all makes more sense when you realise that the agenda of the journalist is to write something that might be vaguely entertaining and make sense to fill the news hungry media. What they're never interested in is promoting anything, being thorough or doing research. We have different agendas, the scene and the journalists.

There are several classical values that make news news:

1) Sensation
2) Identification
3) Conflict
4) Actuality
5) Essentiality

Concerning us in the C64 remix community: 1) it's not a huge sensation to the rest of the world what we are doing (and a huge shame that Ben didn't show, CRC-wise - that would have made it a better story/bigger sensation), 2) too few are interested in this, no-one relates in huge-media-terms, 3) we better start fighting eachother or something since there are no conflicts here , 4) we are not new anymore, the scene is quite old already, 5) people can live without hearing about us.

To put it short - if anyone can find an angle on our music we better be happy about it

We wrote about 15 magazines and newspapers. Only two media showed up, DR which we got in contact with via André, the other one by itself (a small Danish internet magazine). No-one responded to our press-release.

If I was a nail, I'd be firmly hit on the head with that post.
