July 13, 200718 yr What is the point of providing a facility, building up listeners and then making it so expensive that person has to close their station and someone new has to build an audience. It happened to "beaversonidol" too. I used to listen to that a lot. Treating the arts like businesses is all wrong. Sure they have to cover themselves and make a small profit but the squeezing until the pips squeak mentality is killing so much.
July 13, 200718 yr Author greed..it is rampant to be honest, I dispair sometimes at how everyone is out for as much as they can get regardless.
July 13, 200718 yr You know for a short while I really thought all that had died with the departure of Mrs Thatcher but it just went off the radar. When it was no longer linked to politics the media stopped bothering to highlight it. The pursuit of far more money than an individual could ever use in a lifetime is behind so many of the injustices and ills of the world. For a start it drives the drug trade which often funds criminal and terrorist activities. On cable news today there was a report from Mexico about drug detection and the police had found one house which was literally stuffed from floor to ceiling with bundles of notes and there was no word they were counterfeit. It was an awesome sight. Edited July 13, 200718 yr by Baytree
July 13, 200718 yr It was me who posted. I just let you know it was Leighs last show as over the years he had played loys of Darius. A few times he did our Darius top 20. I will miss his shows :(
July 13, 200718 yr I've only listened to a few shows but Leigh seems like a really lovely guy. It's rotten that he has to give up unwillingly.
July 13, 200718 yr I enjoyed his Darius ones, just wasn't keen on the trance. It's a shame he has to go he really enjoyed doing them.
July 13, 200718 yr Author thanks, DD, sorry I obviously didnt read it properly the first time, and was too quick tidying up. its a shame as Darius' music deserves to be played whenever whereever as much as possible! Edited July 13, 200718 yr by prettyinpink
July 16, 200718 yr Megham, do you still have the last Darius top forty on Atlantis anywhere on your PC?
July 16, 200718 yr :( I can't find it must have deleted it. Mercury Rising was No 1 the first time he did it but wasn't Secret Song No 1 the next time or had SS changed places with Journeys End at No 2 but MR still No 1....can't remember now
July 16, 200718 yr I wonder if anything about either has survived .net's changeovers to new servers. I'll have a poke about later tonight.
