Traditional radio listeners are switching to satellite radio and on-line listening options like Last.fm, Pandora, and Live365. Increasing numbers of music fans from around the world know to crawl Pitchfork, MOG, Hype Machine, and Elbo.ws for tracks from their favourite artists, news, and to get new recommendations. The on-line versions of music magazines like Rolling Stone and NME are being favored over their in-print counterparts. So, where does this leave music videos?

“They say you better listen to the voice of reason / But they don’t give you any choice ’cause they think that it’s treason”

In Europe - at least in Italy - we’ve got a strange idea of radio broadcasting. Still controlled and tightened up by play-list, there is still a small voice for freedom and strange discovery, expecialy in late night broadcastings and weekly shows. John Peel Sessions maybe the best universally acclaimed example. Time changes, and technologies too.

“Digging deep into a 60s to 70s selection with the Temptations, Beach Boys, The Shangri Las and into the 80s with The Smiths, Belle And Sebastian - ‘a celebration of an emotion in motion’. Deeeep.”

- Time Out London.

Once upon a time it was only Beatles and Rolling stones, all throwing bums in in the next indie band prime and hear people say “Beware blokes… you’re bound to fall”. The Next Rolling Stone? You’d probably thought they were all kiddin’ you! One band in a million could have gone so far… You used to laugh about any band…

"Why should I have spring fever, when it isn't even spring?”

Ok. I’m against things like that. I mean, looking for pin-ups to entratain the visitors of a site of mine: it’s just not my style. But - hey - spring is coming, and I personally can’t stand the apex of winter season, when cold reaches its top and I just can’t get rid of my metereopatic insofference for grey and gloomy February skies.

Do you feel the urge to fast forward to Springtime to?

“Zut alors!
Waster waster waster!”

Sometimes things in the real world seems to get so abstract and flat, like being stuck on the pages of a comic book. Outside it’s cold (I kinda hate winter) and you’re left alone with tea, music, facebook synthetic hit’n'chats, a fitsfull of songs heading for the next Lost episode. You call it life, I say I’m loosing touch with reality.

Where is the big fun! Can someone show me a good party line. Lead me to the fun! I had a look to the last time I’ve been to a decent gig. It was…

“So we climbed up on the rocky shore / And freaked out on the mountain goats But they were not impressed or scared of us / Do you remember our last summer as independent / Do you remember?”

Another music year has passed. Time for some tops and hits. It’s
charts time at the end of the year, and this tradition it’s now become
more popoular than Queen’s speech or Christmas trees.

It’s gonna be a wide great Xmas all over the World. Christmas. Maybe the most universally acclaimed holiday in the World, a global material superogatory orgy of consume. C’mon Earth! Dive into the party! It’s Christmas everywhere! Is it really the same in each little place of the globe? Let’s find it out together at Geek’s Radio! Tonight we’re gonna air a special trying to get Japan and Sweden point of view.

As for me I will deal with the Japanese department (of course!)

Nihonjin (Japanese people) have not a christian identity, if not when they get married. Christmas got…

There’s a little Italian band called Perturbazione. They’re quite popoulare in Italy for a song called “Agosto”. It goes like that:“Agosto, is the coldes month of the year…”. Don’t know about THERE, but here in Italy November is so full of newelty and events that me & my gang use to sing like that:“November, it’s the indiest month of the year…”

November is also the month MEI takes place.

MEI was born as a three days meeting for all the indiependent
Italian labels along with conferences and live events. It was cool
’till some years ago. Then…

Sometimes bands are meteors. They light up the sky for few seconds, everyone turns theit head up in the sky, the star is gone, what is left is the stray of something too good to be forgotten. That’s the case of “The Primitives”, one of my retro-listening I’m now found of. The Primitives carreed started to get serious once Morrissey (Yessir! Morrissei) pointed at them as one of their favourite bands of the moments (it was 80’s time).

Listening to tracks like “Buzz Buzz Buzz” or “Really Stupid” is unbelievable how many influences you can spot! Jesus and Mary Chain,…
