you wanna add it in here

just add it once and can set it up for repeat weekly showing

on the day its on it gets front page and forum index exposure

fits in with all other site intergrated stuff rss feeds etc etc

i know i use it as a "reminder" for what to listen would guess others may do  

think you mean the Skelmersdale "something else"  thing?

 

mark w passed on the info here

 

just for reference , (may help if anyone else is looking for it)

heres the details from bfi database (see links)

Great info, thanks - is that where the BBC Wigan footage comes from too?

 

NB. can't understand why you never hear about the other Wigan footage - anyone know anything about it / have access to it?

 

Can't even think where I have seen it but definitely have - darker, shot from the floor, less busy 

 

Maybe was just a short clip on something, but wonder if there were outtakes like with the Granada film

think you mean the Skelmersdale "something else"  thing?

mark w passed on the info here

With regard to pimping sites .............. Mike & Soul Source immediately spring to mind.

I started this thread without any intention of it dissing Soul Source OR are you so precious that my reference to 'sites such as this' got your hackles up.

Guess you'll suspend me again now.

memory says suspended you for copying others posts without credit after warnings

see above post

I use the internet by logging on & searching, what's so wrong with that.

I am a complete loss as to what you mean with your second line, I know you have issues with everything I post on here but try to get past your prejudices and hang ups.

Just how do you believe I treat other's work, info and posts ?

no hang ups here

you have in past copied posts/info  from other sites many times with no credit given to the original source

you have also either ignored or just discounted other site requests regarding your posts

that's after asking you both openly and via pm 

that's why my thinking is that its down to the way you use the internet

you post in a very strange manner

Oh dear Mike ,I think you're getting a touch out of order 

 

Bazza  

nah not imo

if you want to pimp other sites on here then at least try and do it with some class

bigging up other websites at the expense of this place is out of order... imo 

I was only mentioning it in the context of the topic and didn't really want it to turn into a finger pointing exercise.  But the problem is that two people PM'd me asking if it was someone dj-ing currently and giving a name, and that's something I know nothing about, the incident I was talking about was like 13 years ago not today, and I feel lines are going to get blurred if I say anything else, especially when, as I say, I know nothing about who is playing what nowadays.

am fairly sure this was all openly discussed on here at the time

did i read it wrong ?

kick up on this

as i read it if you donate  today then it gets doubled

I post in 4 separate record selling facebook sites and if I sell one record between the four I'm lucky!

I would say my sales are something like 70% mailing list, 25% soul source, 5% elsewhere.

And I still don't quite get facebook, there's hundreds of posts whizzing past on the right hand side, how do you know what to join in or not?

I like it for posting up pictures of the kids though.

fb can't be that good Pete, otherwise they be posting on it instead of wasting our time plugging it on here

why does it seem that always get these sort of post by people involved in running facebook groups during periods when we are busy on here ?

I don know what groups you are in Win but that isn't my experience. I'm in music specific groups and the one for Stafford the info I have got from that group hasn't been bettered anywhere. Most promoters now think FB is the main target group with groups for all the major events and for smaller ones as well. There are several quality sales groups, a wants group and valuations group. Most of the groups I am in are moderated or problems stamped on by its members.

At one time the Internet was pretty small with just a handful of places to go and that is what made Soul Source a success. The Internet has grown and places like FB are ideal for those who just want 10 minutes here an there without getting embroiled in long drawn out topics.

Horses for courses, I use various sites to get any info I want.

have to smile

of course there are more soul fans on facebook, just same as there are more soul fans on youtube

of course promoters want to self promote and control the posts

nothing new there

you are so out of touch with soul source nowadays

you be better off if you stick to promoting your facebook groups 

this claiming such is bigger/better type promotion is more suited for that style/type of soul fan that gets his fix on facebook

Stories in the press this week about how readership levels of all music mags has dipped to an all time low.

Lots of music journo's expected this dip in music mag sales to occur over the last 5 to 10 years but always expected on-line music forums to take up the slack with everyone joining & posting on them. HOWEVER it seems that membership & posting levels on lots of web based music forums is also way down and interest seems to be greatly diminished.

In the soul field, some forums have shut down & certain others seem to be populated by people who don't have a great level of knowledge anymore (for instance the Motown section of SDF is just about totally taken up with posts about the Supremes; most dull).

Huge numbers of 'kids' today don't buy music (they just do 'free-downloading') and are a lot more interested in computer games & the latest gadgets. Mind you, as well as spending 12 hours a day texting, most young'uns seem to go everywhere / do everything with headphones permanently stuck in their ears so just what they are listening to is beyond me. 

BUT is the 'writing on the wall' for forums such as this as interest dips in discussing all the various aspects of the worldwide soul scene ?

nope imo

this place is as busy as its ever been

maybe its the way you yourself use the internet thats the problem ?

I am certainly no fan of the way you treat others work/info/posts

So in short, in your opinion, if you have an original press and the label is fooked, printing and applying a new label of the same ilk, is OK? providing that you are not covering it up to disguise it as something it isn't?

are you for real?

if doing it for your own purposes and own use then guess thats fair enough

but if thats so, then wtf are you asking such a ridiculous question on here...

If I'd posted a sale or want, I'd be well pee'd off with all this chat knocking my topic down the list.

any concerns with any post then best use the "report "post feature

members posting in the thread just doesn't work and is best avoided

cheers

mike

merged two threads

best try and keep related stuff to one

Why has the link been removed to the NS film trailer been removed?

 

How bloody frustrating......I was just going to show someone..........is it a secret or something?

 

 

Cheers,

Mark R

i removed the link I posted earlier as it appears that the trailer wasn't supposed to be released yet 

Been a bit since had a walk round on vimeo, heres  3 interesting (maybe) clips from the last month

St Petersburg

Praque

Dancing in the boardroom

The focus of Brown's work for the international research project ‘Topographies of the Obsolete’ is on the landscape of post industry and takes the disused Spode factory in Stoke-on-Trent, UK, as its critical prompt, as defined by the factory's history, legacy and socio-political context. Brown's approach employs methods of sculptural practice, site-specific intervention and film in order to develop poignant narratives questioning these contexts. Her film Dancing in the Boardroom (Turnin' My Heartbeat Up) follows this enquiry through the filming of two dancers dancing to Northern Soul in the boardroom of the factory. Through this film connections between post-industrial cities of Stoke and Detroit, where Northern Soul music largely originates, are made and issues such as the class system, labour and norms of behaviour are questioned. 

That looks frigging good !!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see it  !!!!
