Around the world in 60 minutes

Today's upload, "Around the world in 60 minutes", represents an important milestone in the evolution of planetnerve8.

This show is the first time we have included artists from outside the 'North America/British Isles axis'. It is also the first time we have included artists without formal recording contracts (or artists with European contracts but no North American distribution). The styles range from pop to hard rock and 'a bunch' in between.

For those listeners looking for a "consistant feed" of music, we are hard at work getting ready to launch our 24/7 streaming where the tunes will be a bit more predictable.

However, one of our founding beliefs was that there is a vast quantity of great material being produced in a wide variety of genres from a wide selection of countries that most people simply are not getting exposed to. This show, I believe, comes the closest so far to addressing that issue.

It's unlikely that you will fall in love with every song but if you listen all the way through, I think it will be impossible for you to not come away impressed with how vibrant the world of music is today.

One last note: we set up a MySpace site last week (www.myspace.com/planetnerve8).

On this site, you will have the ability to comment on the shows as well as find links to featured artists.

Thanks, as always, for your support!

All the best,
Michael
