When we saw this incredible video for ‘Snow City Radio’ by the unsigned UK band The Lost Cavalry, we assumed that they were either rich kids able to afford a big budget production, or that the band members all doubled up a film industry professionals.
We were intrigued enough to write to them to ask them how it was done, and were amazed by what they told us: the whole thing was done on a budget of less than £50 and filmed and produced entirely by the singer, Mark West – who has had no training as a cameraman or photographer.
Here’s the story of how he managed to put together such an incredible video:

Although we’re not so convinced about the new Google Music‘s prospects for taking on the all-conquering iTunes, we think Google could be on to a winner with its new Artist Hub Service.
In fact, we think it’s one area where they could absolutely trounce Apple – and if the new bands start to make this a central part of their online activity, then it could well influence people to switch to Google Music in the long-term.

If you make music at home or you want to put a voiceover onto your Youtube video you’ll know that recording the human voice in a normal room can sound really REALLY rubbish.
You could hide yourself and your microphone under a duvet for some hot sweaty bedroom action. Or you can try some of the various gadgets that claim to improve things by doing a bit of “sound treatment” around the microphone itself.

Tiger single bass drum pedal reviewed, proves fantastic value for drum botherers

When we’re not hammering down on our keyboard we’re often to be found thumping away at our Pearl Traveller drum kit downstairs, and after a bizarre gardening accident destroyed our last bass drum pedal, we were in the market for an affordable replacement.
