Please excuse the lack of recent posts. I’ve set up my own domain, duncans.tv to host Duncan’s TV Adland and Music Videos. Transferring material from Blogspot.com to Wordpress was a breeze with the right plugin. However there’s a bit of time involved in resetting the images (adding class=”alignright” to the code and putting in alternative text) and setting the categories for each post. On top of that I’ve been resetting the indexes.
I’ve put posts from the Adland and Music Video blogs into the one site, separating them with categories. There are 283 posts in total. I’ve got 102 left to adjust.
Recently I purchased Singstar Party for the birthday of one of my daughters. That was to supplement Singstar Pop that she’d bought for her brother’s birthday! It’s been a noisy weekend here as we’ve had a pre-teen girl’s get together, supplemented by late teenagers and adults trying out for the karaoke high scores. I must admit I’m not that crash hot at the Playstation game. Perhaps with a bit of practice…
Playstation News came through today with the announcement of Singstar Rocks! - coming out in April.
The thirty songs include material by Blur, Bowling for Soup, The Cardigans, The Church, Coldplay, Deep Purple, Dragon, End of Fashion, The Exponents, Franz Ferdinand, GANGgajang, Grinspoon, Gwen Stefani, Hole, INXS, Jet, The Killers, Killing Heidi, Men At Work, Nirvana, The Offspring, Powderfinger, Rolling Stones, Scorpions, The Screaming Jets, Stereophonics, The Swingers, Thin Lizzy, and The Veronicas.
Bono appeared in an interview with Andrew Denton on ‘Enough Rope’ last night, giving us a glimpse into the agony behind the postponement of the Australia/NZ leg of the Vertigo Tour. He gave us an indication that the band is likely to return in November. An announcement is due from Michael Coppel today.
In the meantime Michael Coppel has an announcement on deals with airlines in the wake of the concert cancellations. Yesterday was the deadline for waived cancellation fees with Qantas and Virgin Blue.
The transcript from the Andrew Denton interview is available here. TVNZ has a 2 minute clip of the interview here.
