lovehatethings

Okay, time for your own mashup. Here's some fantastic footage of the Icelandic volcano that sounds like a Tolkien character. If you start the music and video as simultaneously as possible, what's your favourite choice... or maybe you can suggest your own.

For all the music lovers who dug last week's LHT retro music festivities, we're moving from "smooth" to "soul" and really getting our groove on. Hope you dig it!

Folks, this is a lovehatethings first (and maybe last). I have no idea if there will be takedown orders a plenty on this once it's posted, but the night just felt right for the launching of KLHT - lovehatethings radio. I don't know why I chose K indicated a US station west of the Mississippi instead of C to denote Canada. Maybe it just seemed appropriate.

I hope you dig it, because quite frankly, even though there are thousands of people who do radio podcasts with copyrighted songs... I might get in trouble for this.

But it was soooo much fun!

When I hear that people are trying to copyright genetic code (and actually getting consideration), I wonder at how composers can claim intellectual property over music that is the product of an evolution over millennia.

What can I say? After the last lovehate podcast, I felt like I had to redeem myself so people wouldn't think lack of religion meant lack of soul. The master of soul didn't die at 33 in the Holy Land two thousand years ago. He died in a plane crash, at age 26, on December 10th, 1967 - less than a year before I was born. Those of you Intelligent Design folks would have me half convinced if your proof started with Otis Redding.

Warner Bros. UK and NBC Universal, with their combined net worth of billions, is ready to pay interns $25,000 a year to squat in London, England and find ways to charge people who share with each other. Old media desperately trying to climb walls of water and drown everyone else in the process.

I am trying for a revival of listening to entire CDs, albums, cassettes, 8 tracks. 

Instead of typing and typing paragraphs of information about why I love my favourite 10 albums of all-time, I decided to record my love letter to the art that inspired me for the past few decades. Hope you find something you like or, even better, something you might like.
