Daytrotter: The greatest website of all
With almost 14 million downloads it's hard to say not enough people know about this site... I'm going to anyway. Not enough people know about this site.

There are so many music/entertainment websites that copy one another, scrambling so fast to “discover” or present something new to the world. And just because you get there first, it doesn’t really make you an explorer. We did poke a stars and stripes into the moon, but we could always see it. We knew it was there. It wasn’t new. We can always come along and say we did, saw, heard something first, but we’re never right. What Daytrotter is attempting to do is to not kid around with you and tell you that we found something that you never knew existed. We are going to contribute to the musical landscape, not just toss it around like a used book or a stolen pick-up line. We’re going to give you something that you truly have never heard. We are not giving you songs from someone you love’s record album, thereby stealing from someone you love. We’re giving you exclusive, re-worked, alternate versions of old songs and unreleased tracks by some of your favorite bands and by a lot of your next favorite bands.
Daytrotter Sessions
These fine people – as they’re traveling through America’s heartland – take two hours out of their travels between shows to stop in for a Daytrotter Session at The Horseshack in downtown Rock Island, Ill. The name of the city is not ironic. They use borrowed instruments, play with their touring mates, utilize an often unkempt toilet, eat some food and then cram back into their vans for the last half of the drive. What they leave behind is a pile of ashes, sometimes a forgotten stocking hat and four absolutely collectible songs that often impart on whomever listens to them the true intensity that these musicians put into their art, sometimes with more clarity than they do when they have months to tinker with overdubs and experiments. These songs are them as they are on that particular day, on that particular tour – dirty and alive. We want you to make this your new home as it is ours. We promise that you will love it here.

The Walking Dead (trailer)
Released a couple of days ago
I was skeptical about this show until now, it may give Dead Set a run for it's money.

Review - The Vinyl Underground
As many of you will know, Comic-Con came to an end about a month ago. Amongst the forums, and announcements, and panels, and previews, the main hall is filled with row upon row of stalls. So many comic stores have a booth where they sell whatever they can, and as we found out, for as cheap as possible. This here is a picture of the stack of comics/trades that we got. 90% of the trades were 50% off or more. it was THAT cheap. 
I'm slowly working my way through the stack, and I started with a series that I started 2 years ago, and have now completed... Because it was cancelled. The series is a Vertigo title that lasted 12 issues, which sucks because it had a lot of potential, clearly not many readers though.
The series follows a group of twenty-somethings living in London, who have a knack for solving occult crimes. Moz is the playboy son of a football (soccer) legend, his ex-fiancée Abi, an ex-con who goes by "Perv" and morgue assistant by day; porn star by night pyromaniac, Leah King. They all have a love/hate relationship with each other, and you kind of want to hate Moz straight away, but you get over it as you see he's trying his best not to be a dick any more. The title comes from Moz's love of classic vinyl and the fact that they operate out of an abandoned London Underground station. The series is very English. The creator, Si Spencer, used to be a writer on EastEnders, so you know you're going to get some cheesy English drama, (dead fathers and long lost siblings, for example).
The group are constantly avoiding the police, because what they do isn't always legal. It is however weird. Creepy dreams, dead women, voodoo magic, nazis, and precognition are all just some of the bizarre things the group come into contact with in the whole series, and it's unsure how the series would have gone if it was allowed to continue.
The problem with Vertigo comics is that a lot of the time, 1 issue isn't enough to get people hooked, because usually a whole story takes 3, 4 or 5 issues to come into completion. It's kind of like if you only
got to watch a 60 minute TV show in 10 minute blocks. It's not like the issues are bad, it's just people don't buy them because it's a lot of money to spend on something you're not sure you even want. So as entertaining as this series is, you won't be getting a finished product. The stories more or less wrap up, but it just seems hurried and uneven. Obviously once the creators found out they were cancelled they had to wrap it all up for a quick fix, (don't worry though, there's nothing as bad as Heroes season 2. Think more Dollhouse season 2... Good, but not the best). You care for the characters, but it doesn't really matter when they go, because, honestly, you didn't really know them anyway.
The art in the book is pretty good; sex and violence is in full form, and each character really has a full range of emotion that isn't hard to see at all. It's got a distinct Vertigo style to it, but what stands out the most is the London locations. The artist, Simon Gane has made sure that the locations in the book are the locations in London. They all look fantastic, and are occompanied by a small piece of info about the location that ties in with the stories. Each one of the locations brings something to the mystery and overall the London backdrop becomes just as important to the story as the characters.
Overall The Vinyl Underground is a cool urban mystery comic, it's just a shame it didn't get the chance to go on. When it comes to mysteries, you need to be able to finish up your stories properly, otherwise it loses it's appeal. Unfortunately this series falls apart in the last few issues, which is exactly when they try to bring it all together.

So this is my first attempt at 'blogging', like everything in my life I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon as it's slowly slipping away. The whole point of this blog will be to post a new mix every week... well I'm at least going to 'try' (I wont) to post one a week.
