Here's a brand new podcast coming at you. I'm slipping behind slightly from my planned 1 a month schedule and this does go quite a bit off-topic, but, hey! Who cares. I shall post some pictures of my bike up soon as it is very pretty. Enjoy:

I'm thinking of uploading everything to youtube - if anyone can suggest an easy to use film program in which I can attach the audio to some static picture showing the title of the episode, please let me know.
Enjoy,

Re-upping of Podcast #4
For some reason the podcast went down a lot earlier than previously so here it is again if you missed it:

Oh, and here's an article that you can file under 'How The Monarchy Undermines Democracy':
In Canada, if you want to suspend the parliament (perhaps you want to avoid a vote of no-confidence, for instance) the Prime Minister has to get the permission of the Queen, which, in this case she granted:
http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSTRE4B34BC20081204
"Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper won a rare suspension of Parliament on Thursday, managing to avoid being ousted by opposition parties angry over the minority Conservative government's economic plans and an attempt to cut off party financing.

Governor General Michaelle Jean -- the representative of Queen Elizabeth, Canada's head of state -- agreed to Harper's request to shut down Parliament until Jan 26. Parliament was reconvened just weeks ago after the October 14 election."
And here's some of the minimal news coverage from the, obviously minor, collapse of a European government a few weeks ago:

Haagcore Podcast #2 - Prinsjedag
Well, the new podcast is up at:
Haagcore Podcast #2: Prinsjedag: https://www.yousendit.com/download/bVlCSXQrdzhtNEozZUE9PQ
It includes everything you could wish from a podcast, as long as the things you wish for are: anti-monarchism; Dutch food, trams and toilets; radiohead covers; me going waaay off topic; The Large Hadron Collider; Soulful Dave P and my Top 5 Favourite Dutch Things (as of 16 September).
Thanks to everyone who said they liked the first podcast.
THE REDEEMER
I have recently had an idea which I have decided to call 'The Redeemer' (both after Our Lord And Saviour, and after the most powerful weapon in the computer game Unreal Tournament 2003).
It was inspired by some music I have been working on lately: The first piece of background music in the podcast is a dance track made almost entirely from samples of the much (and unfairly) maligned 1990s Britpop band Sleeper. I have also just heard a new Soulful Dave P track now up at his myspace, in which he samples Jethro Tull's track 'Dot Com' (a song with possibly the worst chorus ever written) from the horrifically bad album 'J-Tull.com'.
These both inspired me to set up a project whereby the idea is to take the worst pop songs in recorded musical history and turn them into solid pop gold.
I'm not talking about novelty records, I'm talking about just earnestly meant but genuinely awful music, like: New Kids On The Block, Zodiac Mindwarp and The Love Reaction, and Pj and Duncan's second album. I'm talking about music so bad that its creators are too embarrassed to sue for copyright infringement; music so bad that it would turn up on the list of 'pros and cons' you'd draw up if you were deciding whether or not to commit suicide.
The idea behind the project would be to sample these tracks in such a way to make them good music. They say you can't polish a turd - but, damn it, I'm going to try!
Suggestions for songs to use would be welcome; and if anybody has too much time on their hands and wants to participate by creating their own track, that would be awesome: we could set up an online community for making bad stuff good! Contact me if you're interested.
DATES FOR YOUR DIARY
Just so you know when I'm back in the country:
October 28th-1 December - In Huddersfield for the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival
Arriving 10:10am at Leeds Bradford - Flying Back 17:55.
Christmas:
22 December - 4 January. In Lincoln.
Hope everyone is cool.

Because I'm Haagcore
Hello, one and all and sundry, welcome to my blog.
After being in Den Haag for a week I thought I would keep you all up to date using the 'internet' (you may have heard of it). The following posts will, I hope, act like digital postcards; although if you really want the effect of a postcard in digital form I suggest you only read them a week after I have arrived back in the country.
But ,I am fickle when it comes to technology so as well as this blog you will also be able to find links to my podcasts, such as the one below, which are a bit like having a conversation with me, except I do all the talking.
dp
P.S. and, please, forgive the pun! (I am pretty hardcore, though).
