Boards

1. listen to on spotify, if i buy i'll buy CDs from play.com. never pay for mp3s

2. i'm not saying - that's private to me m'afraid

3. last.fm for touring bands, facebook for mates' gigs

4. only last.fm, which shows what i listen to without any effort on my part

5. i don't even know how to use an RSS feed. or care.

6. for info? just last.fm and sometimes wiki. if i want to listen to music i MIGHT use myspace, but equally might just use spotify

7. facebook, guardian for news and sport, bbc for news, sport and podcasts (fighting talk and kermode's film reviews, predictable huh), google mail, twitter, tfl for travel updates....i'm a creature of habit

dont buy much anymore just because im out of the habit and never have any money but if i did it would be HMV though i should switch to amazon

2. DiS and sometimes facebook
yeah that would be a sweet feature

3. get my boyfriend to sort it out
yes im bothered about inviting my friends, i let all the people i think will be into said band know about it and offer to sort out (ie. get my boyfriend to sort out) their tickets too

4. nope

5. RSS feeder? je suis thick

6. bands official website and last fm
also would check out DiS profile and see if there are any reviews of gigs or labums

7. read the stranger, keep up with friends on facebook, dip in and out of the papers and BBC, watch programmes, watch music videos on youtube, little bit of porn, cartoon strips etc etc

1) I buy music at gigs, in shops or direct from bands using paypal
2) Myspace pages and on my blog http://nopaytoplayinbrum.blogspot.com/
3) I compile a gig list and choose gigs to go to http://groups.myspace.com/birminghamgigs
4) No
5) No
6) Always use myspace or bands own website
7) Cricket

gotta be said.

1. Spotify, MySpace
2. Nowhere
3. Err, I use the calendar on my Nokia. I occasionally add a Facebook message to see if anyone wants to come to a gig I’m going to if I’m going alone. I’ve never had a response from it yet.
4. No (last.fm doesn’t work with my old propriety Sony software)
5. No. No. Yes
6. All of those you mentioned. Occasionally DiS but depends on how well the search has been working
7. The usual things
8. What’s your favourite pizza toppings?

1. 80% eMusic (300 tracks/month), 10% HMV, 5% Spotify & 5% cds from band stalls
2. My principal form of feedback is the LastFM love track facility - 1317 tracks.
http://www.last.fm/user/UnrealCity-Mart/library/loved
I also leave some comments on LastFM, some on here and I make the occasional post on Facebook. I would like to blog.
3. All my gigs are listed on LastFM and I follow what my LastFM friends are going as well, but Facebook is now vital if you want to keep in touch. I have signed up to SongKick.
4. Only LastFM. I use the Scaicha tracker to ensure I'm giving myself a varied diet.
5. I use Twitter for this purpose, but I only rarely look at it (via my iTouch).
6. Google also the DiS Directory. Google usually leads you straight to LastFM. Myspace is now far less important to me than it was say 18 months ago.
7. Email/Admin 25%, Politics 30%, Shopping 15%, News 15% & Social networking (mainly Facebook chats) 15%.
8. Tyva Republic (Tanu Tuva) has always interested me, but I haven't been there.

1. In order of regularity; stuff acquired in a not very legal way, spotify, 8tracks.com, myspace, last.fm, blogspot.

2. I dont do this very much, if i want to share what i like i either make reccomendations directly to people that i know will like said band, or make and share mixtapes through 8tracks, although i do sometimes write stuff on blogspot and have some of plans for something more regular in the near future, which'll probably in a format similar to blogspot/wordpress.

3. I usually put attending on last.fm, and create a list of 'upcoming gigs' and share them on facebook (notes), other than that i'll speak to people directly.

4. no.

5. no.

6. wiki and myspace.

7. football, forums, pitchfork, emails, general sport, news.

6. Google search for news items etc, blogs, myspace.

2.) wordpress, down the pub, sometimes on here. Yeah I guess (to the writing reviews and linking them thing).
3.) last.fm, rock sound, myspace (if I'm checking up on a band and see they're touring), DiS. Yeah, I usually invite mates along.
4.) last.fm
5.) naa.
6.) bands official site, if not wiki or myspace.
7.) xbox 360 forums, game walkthroughs, Games Workshop news, Wikipedia.

1. Spotify, Amazon, 7Digital, Hype Machine, MySpace, Last.fm, Youtube. Would you like to easily share your favourite tracks and actions on your DiS profile? Yes.

2. Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Blogspot, MySpace, Flickr. Would you like the ability to easily write your own reviews, rate records out of 10 and link to your reviews alongside DiS content? Yes.

3. Facebook, Last.fm and Google Calender. I almost always try to invite friends to gigs I'm going to but will happily go alone if none of my friends like the band in question.

4. Only Last.FM. Oh and Mog, I think I still have a Mog.

5. Do you use an RSS reader? Do you keep uptodate with feeds of websites via Twitter? Do you bookmark webpages online to remember to read them elsewhere? I use Firefox's "live bookmark" thing to follow RSS feeds. I have some websites on Twitter (DiS, mainly). And yes, I bookmark stuff to remember to read it elsewhere.

6. If you're looking up info about acts, do you use anything other than Wikipedia and Last.fm? Usually a combination of those two, perhaps occasionally a quick google for any Pitchfork or DiS reviews.

7. Lastly, other than music, what are the main things you do online? Keep up with friends (SOCIAL NETWORKING, YEAH?), watch stuff on YouTube, follow film/tech/videogame/literature news.

1. Where do you buy / listen to music? Spotify, eMusic and Last.fm. I think a link to my lastfm thing would work.

2. I write a blog, write for GIITV, type about in on here...

3. I use Aberdeen Music.co.uk or something. maybe flyers in the local record shops.

4. Last.fm quilts yes.

5. Only use the live bookmarks in firefox, nothing more. i used to use an aggregator years ago though.

6. Myspace/google/wiki/spotify atm.

7. Tech news, blogging, writing, articles and news, forums, facebook...

8. Why did you choose DiS as the name for this place?

1.i. Buy: amazon.co.uk, emusic.com, amazon marketplace, HMV, local record shops, FOPP.
1.ii. Listen: Spotify and Last.fm, mainly, though sometimes myspace.
2. On here and on twitter.
3. Last.fm and the DiS boards, mainly. I usually invite/go with my girlfriend and/or mates depending on what kind of gig it is.
4. Just Last.fm, and posting in the Last.fm thread on here (if that counts), nothing else though.
5. I don't use an RSS feed, I could never work out how to get it to work... I follow a few websites on twitter, but delete them if they flood my newsfeed (is that what it's called?), like I did with The Guardian and Telegraph. I bundle stuff into a 'Misc.' section of my bookmarks folder, but not much else.
6. Wikipedia, Last.fm, and allmusic are the main ones.
7. News, sport, Facebook, cricket, history stuff, procrastinating on various pointless online games/video sites/quiz sites/blogs, porn.
8. Are those Cadbury's Creme Egg Twisted chocolate bar things any good?

1. last.fm, MySpace, Hype Machine

2. Blogspot, Twitter

3. last.fm

4. last.fm

5. No

6. Yes, that.

7. I read about football.

1. spotify, amazon marketplace, last fm
2. blogger occasionally. used to more but stopped 'cause i was rubb at it.
3. last fm
4. nah, used to use the one on here but got fed up at loads of stuff not appearing
5. google reader <3
6. pretty much nope. myspace is balls and i hate having to go anywhere near it.
7. i read alien loves predator sometimes

they're keeping track of us online now

2. I run my own blog and write for various websites. Outside of written content I don't really care about other people knowing my taste. I find Last.fm largely pointless.

3. I go to so few as I live in the middle of nowhere that it's not necessary. However again, when I move and am going to gigs every week I still can't imagine telling other people or printing it online. Pen and paper will suffice.

4. I don't.

5. I have an RSS for blogs via Blogger that is very handy and I have about 20 music news sites bookmarked on my browser. It reminds me to visit them every day.

6. Wiki, Myspace, Google in that order.

7. http://thedw.us/

2, I don't
3, I don't really go to gigs
4, I use last fm but none of my friends are interested in music at all, so I have nobody to show off to.
5, I use google reader for blogs, music and otherwise
6, Wikipedia, then I search it on the DiS forums, then DiS reviews, then other reviews.
7, DiS, conquer club, google reader, msn, occasionally the guardian.
8, shoplifting, y/n?

2. I don't
3. Lastfm and through hearsay
4. Well my lastfm profile I guess if that counts
5. No
6. Wikipedia, lastfm and spotify if it has a bit on them
7. Couldn't possibly say

1.

i buy music in HMV mainly. i listen to either my MP3 collection (uploads from CDs) or Spotify and sometimes go on myspace/youtube for stuff that's not on Spotify.

i guess that i'd like to share stuff on my DiS profile but if i think something is that good then i'll put it in a thread or post it on facebook (i only have a couple of DiSers on facebook tho)

2.

as i said just now i post stuff on facebook, or show it to people on MSN, or if i'm really impressed i might send a txt (i did this when i first listened to Mahavaishnu Orchestra) or save it in my favourites.

i'm more of a 'share with my mates' person than a 'wanting to inform the world' person when it comes to cool internet shit. eg. i don't have a public blog. does this paragraph make sense ?

3.

gigs i just find on myspace, give my mates a ring/facebook them to organise them going. i don't use the internet at all. it's defo something i'd like to look into tho cos i don't go to enough gigs.

4.

no

5.

i have no idea what an RSS reader is (i'll google it in a minute tho) being able to bookmark threads and articles within the site would be really really cool. i always read through the whole news feed on facebook but i've logged into twitter only a couple of times since i joined.

6.

what kind of info ? i go on wikipedia and then follow links from there if there's anything extra i want to know. also the biogs on Spotify i normally read.

7.

my most used websites are in order (since whenever it was i last cleared my history):

facebook
google
DiS community
youtube
redtube
wikipedia
tfl
freetetris.org
bbc.co.uk (news and iplayer)
onthebox.com (tv listings, good website)

so:

connecting with other people
finding out stuff
talking about stuff

and wanking, of course

1) i buy it on emusic, i listen to it online on last.fm radio, pitchfork.tv, youtube.

2) i normally do this irl, or on the music board.

3) last.fm events, cos it knows what i listen to so can suggest me stuff.

4) last.fm

5) google reader, people who don't care what rss is are silly.

6) apart from the ones mentioned i use allmusic cos they've normally rated the albums and so i know which one is considered the best.

7) at work: bbc news, guardian, speak you're branes
at home: pressing the google reader next button which has webcomics, sites with silly photos (sans cats), sites with less silly photos, blogs. Also wikipedia clicking, iplayer/4od, finding somewhere to live.

8) what's the best thing about the internet?

for the really long email I sent you after you PM'd me asking for advice. So I'll be fucked if I'm going to help you in a thread, cheers.

1. Where do you buy / listen to music?
Spotify, [iTunes and 7digital not so much] Don't really bother with lastfm no more as the big S has made L's streaming aspect redundant

2. Where do you document/share your reactions to music, life and the like?
I might start writing some sensible things on here someday http://areviewofsorts.blogspot.com

3. How do you organize what gigs you're going to? Do you care about inviting friends to the same gigs?
Check it http://last.fm/user/sevenplusone/events
Also, not really. My only music loving friend is 17

4. Do you use anything to share/show off your record collection/library online?
Apart from the last.fm stats, no. (I do use the DiS thingy though!)

5. Do you use an RSS reader? Do you keep uptodate with feeds of websites via Twitter? Do you bookmark webpages online to remember to read them elsewhere?
I have some sites on my blogroll. I only really use twitter for stuff humans say. Yes

6. If you're looking up info about acts, do you use anything other than Wikipedia and Last.fm? Maybe MySpace or just google for bands official website?
Not really, unless Wikipedia directs me to it

7. Lastly, other than music, what are the main things you do online? Football, porn, lolcats, tech news, politics, read news on Guardian, etc...?
Football, porn, wikipedia, googlemaps, silly games

1. Spotify & Blogs. Yes it would be good to share tracks.
2. I don’t use websites. If I like/dislike a band or a track I’ll probably just discuss with friends in pubs etc
3. I’ll usually be “attending” on Facebook. This was if there are any last minute changes I’ll know about it
4. No. I don’t care what other people make of my record collection. It’s not arrogance, I just have no interest in showing it off, especially not online.
5. Yes, I keep up to date with Twitter feeds and yes I bookmark webpages – I find this very useful.
6. I just Spotify the band and listen to them. If they have no tracks on there or I want to find out about gig listing I’ll check their Myspace.
7. Football, porn & art mostly. I also look at weird animals and bizarre toys from around the world. I’m fairly into clothes and cool things for the home and use Colette.fr a lot. I also listen to a lot of podcasts – Adam & Joe etc. I think DIS should do a podcast. You could have reviews, guest presenters and good music, obviously. Do it

2/. reactions to music: conversations with friends, here, facebook

3/. gigs: browse myspace mainly, text friends to spread the word

4/. sharing album collection: used to have a list of favourite albums on facebook, had an old myspace page which had images of all my favourite albums in a collage. nothing now.

5/. RSS/following threads: not at all, but i should be and your idea for including it as a feature sounds great. much better than searching the forums for funny old threads.

6/. researching acts: mainly wiki, last.fm and myspace, but i also find interviews and in-depth reviews to get a better picture of the band if i'm a fan.

7/. non-musical internet: news sites, e-mailing/facebook, b3ta/cracked, porn, occasional internet gaming.

1. Where do you buy / listen to music?
Don’t really buy much online, usually from Amazon or direct from a band’s site/record label site. Tend to just email someone at www.spillersrecords.co.uk and then pop into the shop to pick it up. Listening mainly on Spotify these days, though Hype Machine and MySpace still play their part. And YouTube and Pitchfork.tv

2. Where do you document/share your reactions to music, life and the like?
Facebook, local messageboards that my ‘real’ friends use, and sometimes on my rubbish blog as well – http://ursinepunch.blogspot.com

3. How do you organize what gigs you're going to? Do you care about inviting friends to the same gigs?
Facebook and local forums. I’ll invite people I know/start threads if I think it’s something people I know might be interested in going to.

4. Do you use anything to share/show off your record collection/library online?
Nope, not really interested.

5. Do you use an RSS reader? Do you keep uptodate with feeds of websites via Twitter?
Not at the moment, though I keep thinking that I might start (but I don’t really know how to – durrr)

6. If you're looking up info about acts, do you use anything other than Wikipedia and Last.fm? Maybe MySpace or just google for bands official website?
Everything you mentioned basically

7. Lastly, other than music, what are the main things you do online? BBC News, Guardian, Slashfilm, Facebook, read various blogs, various forums, email. The usual. Glad I can scratch the daily checking of rental properties on Rightmove.co.uk from my list now :-)

1. Buy: Redeye, Chemical Records, Boomkat, Amazon, maybe more. Listen: Myspace, Youtube and those record shops online.

2. http://thesonicminefeild.blogspot.com/ & http://sonicrouter.blogspot.com/ I keep forgeting twitter exists but I want to use it as part of my blog really. I would only link with DiS by you lot taking the RSS of those blogs or by spamming the boards with links to my blogs like I do anyway most probibly, unless it was better than the old user reviews system as I'm not convinced anyone ever read them, but even then you would just get a copy n paste from my blog and I'd probibly forget.

3. I dont do any organising online of my gig going at all, I just remember whats goin on as I know I cant get to loads anyway as I'm skint so I keep it minimal. I invite people sometimes usualy by askin rather than an online invite.

4. Last FM, but I mostly use it as a gateway to my blog I guess. So people can see what I'm hearing and maybe like it and read stuff. Oh yeah and DiS banter, if it wasnt for those two I wouldn't bother.

5. just the Internet Explorer RSS feeder I use it alot and have alot of bookmarks on it, its really good for keepin uptodate rather than relying on one site.

6. I just google and see what looks best, it usualy takes you to myspace first then I try and dig deeper for articles on the artists.

7. Look for jobs, comedy podcasts, news, talk shit, usualy rubbish.

1. Where do you buy / listen to music?

i mainly listen to music at gigs. and sometimes Loose Ends on radio 4. i don't download music. sometimes i by things from amazon or play to put on my shelve.

2. Where do you document/share your reactions to music, life and the like?

twitter and facebook and wereallneighbours.co.uk

3. How do you organize what gigs you're going to?

i look at what gigs facebook is saying people i like to stalk are going to and i go there. or my friend simon says he's putting someone on and i go. or my boyfriend buys some tickets so i go.
4. Do you use anything to share/show off your record collection/library online?
i take photos of my shelves and post them to forums.

5. Do you use an RSS reader? Do you keep uptodate with feeds of websites via Twitter? Do you bookmark webpages online to remember to read them elsewhere?
no RSS at the moment. i think i might habe dis on my twitter tho.

6. If you're looking up info about acts, do you use anything other than Wikipedia and Last.fm? Maybe MySpace or just google for bands official website?
i ask human beings if they've heard of them.

7. Lastly, other than music, what are the main things you do online? Football, porn, lolcats, tech news, politics, read news on Guardian, etc...?
cute overload, icanhaz... and it's compatriates, wereallneighbours.co.uk , XKCD, imdb, bbc news, using the radio times website, entering comps with theprizefinder.com , acronymfinder

1. Buy mostly from Fopp/online retailers, almost exclusively on hard formats. Occasionally indie shops, rarely in HMV. Only digital store I've ever used is iTunes and otherwise only tend to use Spotify for actually listening to stuff online. Most of my listening other than in the car gets scrobbled on last.fm.

2. I tend not to much except on these boards. Only place I tend to write stuff is www.fetcheveryone.com - running related, so not really relevant to DiS.

3. See gig, ring friends who could be interested, buy tickets. Does really sound like a promoters tool to me - few things would annoy me more than allowing people to directly JAG at me. I'd probably keep track on last.fm better if there were other reasons for going there.

4. www.listal.com, although that's to keep track of what I own/want to get rather than to show it off.

5. Yes to RSS, no to Twitter (no value in it for me), No to online bookmarks.

6. Just google and click on links that seem interesting, or ask on here.

7. Football, RSS feeds, occasionally online games..

1. Where do you buy / listen to music?

Listen: 6Music, mostly. If I had a working computer and an iPod at home I'd go on Hype Machine more often and download tracks that looked good. Unfortunately I don't.

I buy it record shops. Independent stores in London and sometimes HMV. I've never bought an MP3.

2. Where do you document/share your reactions to music, life and the like? N/A really. I've got a Facebook but that's more for finding out what's going on with my mates rather than telling them about the great new Alphabeat single.

3. How do you organize what gigs you're going to? Do you care about inviting friends to the same gigs? (I have a theory that it's only promoters and bands who invite people to gigs) Facebook, Songkick, Last.fm, Yahoo events, google calendar, iCal...?
http://songkick.com/users/seaninsound

I look at the events on Facebook and ask my mates what they're up to. I don't much tend to promote gigs I'm going to to my mates.

4. Do you use anything to share/show off your record collection/library online? Last.fm quilts seem to be the most obvious for this. Seeing if Amazon can do a list of stuff you own, etc.

Nope.

5. Do you use an RSS reader? Do you keep uptodate with feeds of websites via Twitter? Do you bookmark webpages online to remember to read them elsewhere?

None of the above.

6. If you're looking up info about acts, do you use anything other than Wikipedia and Last.fm? Maybe MySpace or just google for bands official website?

Myspace.

7. Lastly, other than music, what are the main things you do online? Football, porn, lolcats, tech news, politics, read news on Guardian, etc...?

Pictures of Harriet Harman mainly. But yeah, news and sport on Guardian and BBC.

1. Where do you buy / listen to music?

Spotify, Amazon, eMusic,Hype Machine, MySpace,Youtube, CDWow, BangCD, Ebay, Fnac sometimes for French stuff

Would you like to easily share your favourite tracks and actions on your DiS profile? (I'm thinking it'd be great to have a feed of what DiSsers are listening to, which tracks/vids they've favourited, etc)

Maybe

2. Where do you document/share your reactions to music, life and the like?

Twitter and Myspace (post on these)

3. How do you organize what gigs you're going to? Do you care about inviting friends to the same gigs?

I don't really - it's a bit random. Sometimes I'll email some folk.

4. Do you use anything to share/show off your record collection/library online? Last.fm quilts seem to be the most obvious for this. Seeing if Amazon can do a list of stuff you own, etc.
NO

5. Do you use an RSS reader? NO
Do you keep uptodate with feeds of websites via Twitter? NO
Do you bookmark webpages online to remember to read them elsewhere? (we're thinking of adding our own thing thing so you can add threads and articles to your profile to favourite/remember to follow) YES SOMETIMES

6. If you're looking up info about acts, do you use anything other than Wikipedia and Last.fm? Maybe MySpace or just google for bands official website?

Hype Machine, band website, myspace, google for reviews/interviews, band's record company website

7. Lastly, other than music, what are the main things you do online?

News (BBC, Guardian, Times), Sport (BBC, tennis tournement sites), Read blogs (Belgian Waffle highly recommended), Read B3ta.com, Twitter, Fashion forums, Ebay for clothing, tech stuff (in addition to music), Book travel, the usual...

8. Do I have to ask a question?

1. I buy a lot of things from label distro's but otherwise amazon and ebay are cool too. Otherwise I occasionally buy from independent record stores or like HMV and ting.

Otherwise I've been using last.fm to listen to quite a lot of stuff recently.

2.I used to document/share a lot of my reactions to music on my uni radio show now it's mostly through blogging and dis obvs ;).

3.I mostly look for gigs and stuff via myspace, or by browsing venues of interest, due to the fact that a lot of my uni friends don't really have a similar taste to me I don't worry hugely about telling them unless it's something I know they might be interested in.

4.Not rly

5.I use the inbuilt RSS reader on opera which so far I just use to keep me up to date with the Quietus

6.Largely Myspace and Wikipedia but I've started looking more at blogs and interviews lately.

7. Facebook, News(usually via the guardian), Lolcats and tech via the inquirer or wired.

1. Buy usually either One Up records in Aberdeen, Amazon, 7Digital or direct from artist (especially if they are on no/a small record label). Listen Spotify, Hype Machine, MySpace, Last.fm, Deezer. Yes I guess so, It would be more useful than a list of artists with numbers out of 10 on them.

2. Twitter and Facebook as well as other message boards such as ILX, Sound Opinions etc. Yes, that does seem like a good idea, again better than having a comment lost in a busy thread / isolated in a dead one.

3. Facebook and Last.fm. People I know that go to gigs tend to not need a prompting to go to them. I suggest things to people I know in other parts of the country when I’m not there.

4. Amazon has a list of what I’ve bought from them in the last decade but wankng over how big your record collection is rather sad.

5. Certainly with Twitter, very useful for micro-managing my time when I moved and was without b/band at home for a few weeks. I will bookmark content that I know I can’t read at work and so on.

6. Find reviews via metacritic, guardian, NME, DiS Pitchfork and so on of both live and recorded material.

7. Politics, News, Sport, Film, TV, betting, social networking busting balls.

8. I really liked Lithuania out of the three Baltic states.

1. Where do you buy / listen to music? Spotify, myspace, youtube, last.fm...I buy records and CDs from record shops and hmv. And yeah I'd like to share tracks and stuff easily here.

2. Where do you document/share your reactions to music, life and the like? I don't, really. Yet. Some on facebook, last.fm, considering starting a blog...I read a few blogs about music too. Not sure I would contribute to a feature like that but would use it.

3. How do you organize what gigs you're going to? Do you care about inviting friends to the same gigs? last.fm. I prefer to go with a friend.

4. Do you use anything to share/show off your record collection/library online? not rly, just last.fm.

5. Do you use an RSS reader? no but I might do in the future, that seems like a good idea.

6. If you're looking up info about acts, do you use anything other than Wikipedia and Last.fm? Maybe MySpace or just google for bands official website? Myspace.

7. Lastly, other than music, what are the main things you do online? Football, porn, lolcats, tech news, politics, read news on Guardian, etc...?
Lolcats, BBC news, shopping, stupid games, watching tv stuff, social networking

8. I can never decide whether the red or the pink Jelly Babies are my favourite...but one of those is, definitely.

1. Where do you buy / listen to music?

->Buy CDs from Avalanche (Glasgow), Fopp, & HMV (occasionally). But mostly from Amazon Marketplace. Rip it and listen on phone when out and about. Listen to non-bought stuff on ambiently on 6music, or specifically on spotify, last.fm or myspace.

2. Where do you document/share your reactions to music, life and the like?

->I don't, aside from the odd posessed drunken rant about artists I dig.

3. How do you organize what gigs you're going to? Do you care about inviting friends to the same gigs?

-> a) Keep tabs on what's on via ticketsscotland, gigsinscotland or The List, b) ask mates that I think might be interested if they're interested, then c) Buy tickets.

4. Do you use anything to share/show off your record collection/library online?

-> Last.fm -ish. But I mostly listen to CDs so I randomly plug stuff into CogScrobbler to try and compensate.

5. Do you use an RSS reader? Do you keep uptodate with feeds of websites via Twitter? Do you bookmark webpages online to remember to read them elsewhere?

->Google Reader. No Twitter. I use Delicious.com for bookmarks.

Ava B is by far one of the most talented actress and singer/songwriter to have come out of the funky house scene. Her versatile style, originality and consciousness in her work, combined with her strong passion for music, performing and acting, makes her an all round entertainer.

The funky house singer is currently working on her first EP with the new single “Pants Love” and recently made an appearance on the first interactive TV series “Dubplate Drama".

1. Spotify and buy wherever's cheapest, could be online/offline/chain store/independent.

2. Hope of the States' forum (discussion.forwardirektion.com). Facebook statuses.

3. Last.fm, but truthfully the amount of gigs i go to hardly warrants organising really.

4. Have thought about, have last.fm tools for some things, but not too bothered over all.

5. Nope.

6. Wikipedia, occasionally Allmusic.
7. Football (usually the Beeb's site.), Film (usually Empire), and Facebook...

1. Spotify, HMV or Jacks (in sheffield). T'd be cool to follow everyone's music choice, but isn't that breaking some form of restraining order if you do?

2. Twitter, Facebook, DiS (of course)

3. Just pray that it hasn't sold out. Or that i'm not working the next day...

4. Nope

5. Sometimes but not seriously

6. Message boards and myspace.

7. read news on Guardian

8. Tramlines lineup???

1) Listen - myspace, lastfm, youtube.
Buy - wherever I see a bargain, could be online (amazon), independent record store or HMV.
Could be cool.

2) I Don't.

3) I Don't. Will tell friends if I think they'd be interested, sometimes via facebook.

4) Lastfm, but don't really use it for this purpose.

5) No.

6) wikipedia, lastfm, myspace, google band name.

7) News, e-mail, facebook.

1. Record shops(bricks&mortar). Listen Myspace,Youtube,boomkat/phonica/piccadilly/honestjons/uptown etc

2. discogs/dubstepforum/djhistory/dis

3. I don't. If I see something coming up that looks good I will ask friends if they fancy it.

4. Discogs

5. Don't use RSS and think Twitter is annoying. I bookmark blogs/sites that I find.

6. discogs,myspace,blogs,record labels website

7. read news, email,sell records on discogs,get food recipes, research new purchases...

I would like to offer another online presence to this community.
Whotune - is a new unsigned music community that has been built ground up to support the Unsigned music community and Music Businesses.
We have some great features already - and we are working on a virtual jamming facilty right now.
Would love to see people from here on the site.

I'm constantly on last.fm to hear new music.

1. Where do you buy / listen to music? Listen - Spotify, MySpace, Youtube. Buy - Norman Records, locally, Phonica, Boomkat, Juno.co.uk

2. Where do you document/share your reactions to music, life and the like? Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Wordpress. Use Google Reader to read, don't post to all simultaneously. Would you like the ability to easily write your own reviews, rate records out of 10 and link to your reviews alongside DiS content? Yes.

3. How do you organize what gigs you're going to? Facebook, Last.fm, google calendar, iCal. I use various syncing tools to sync Facebook/Google Cal/iCal/Blackberry automagically, lack of ability to do this on last.fm means I use that much less. Rarely invite people to events that I'm not in some way involved in.

4. Do you use anything to share/show off your record collection/library online? No.

5. Do you use an RSS reader? I use Google Reader for Atom/RSS feeds. I also follow a number of Twitter users that are essentially feeds from a website and favourite things to read later (as I only really user Twitter on my Blackberry, RSS favourites in to Google Reader to read later). Do you bookmark webpages online to remember to read them elsewhere? Yes, mainly using delicious, though I've started using Diigo more recently.

6. If you're looking up info about acts, do you use anything other than Wikipedia and Last.fm? Mainly Google.

7. Lastly, other than music, what are the main things you do online? Football, tech news, read news on Guardian, media related nonsense (mainly radio industry stuff).

(1) I buy music mainly on ebay, but occasionally shops like HMV on Oxford Street, or smaller independent and second hand shops.

I listen to music on myspace and occasionally youtube.

(2) A few sites I go on but nothing too exciting

(3) I have a calendar on a word document on my desktop.

(4) Why would I do that?

(5) No RSS, no Twitter.

(6) Wikipedia, myspace, google. Might have to try last fm again.

(7) Talk about house prices, talk about west ham, read about sport, news. Check emails. Access websites necessary for my job.
