**JUST ADDED** THIS SHALLOW NATION WILL BE THE OFFICIAL ALBUM LAUNCH FOR END:THE DJ’s NEW ALBUM “ENDTROVERT”, AND THERE WILL BE GIVEAWAYS!

For a bit of background, the Phonographic Performance Company of Australia (PPCA) tried this back in July 2007 (My bit, Mess & Noise, SMH, PPCA has removed the release from their site), when they tried to push the cost of playing music from 20c a song to $3.07 a patron. Based on the capacity of the venue rather than how many people are inside.

For example, a venue with a capacity of 500-people would be billed $1500+ just to be licensed to play music. If only 100-people turn up that night, tough, the price still stands.

Now if that venue has to pay extra for licensing, they won’t pay for it out of their pocket, they will pass that on to the punters. If you run a club, you will have to cover that cost as well as the bar cover. And for most of the clubs I go to, that will mean free nights will become $10-$15-nights, and the rest will need to double the entry fee just to open the door. That cost will stop people from coming to the club, and, well you can guess where that will end.

We can only hope the PPCA learnt from they bollocking they copped last time they tried this, and are happy to just siphon off money from the fitness clubs. If they do try again… all that promotion given by clubs playing music, will disappear. Along with most of the clubs.

March 25th is Ada Lovelace Day. We are currently working on the 3rd full-length album for The Crystalline Effect and have just written a song about Ada Lovelace. When we found out that it was Ada Lovelace day, it felt like more than a coincidence. So to celebrate the occasion we have decided to upload our song as a free download

From singer/lyricist Elenor Rayner:
“In the mid 1800s Charles Babbage invented the first programmable calculating machine, called the Analytical Engine. He could see it could be used to make mathematical calculations. A useful device indeed, and it became the forerunner of the computer.
His good friend Ada Lovelace, also a mathematician and scientist and daughter of the poet Lord Byron, understood his machine – but she could see something he couldn’t. She suggested to Charles that his Analytical Engine could be used to compose complex music and so she wrote a program for it and became the first person ever to write music on a computer.
I think all of us owe her big time.

I have a framed photo of Ada sitting next to my computer and when I heard the electro leanings of a new track Pete had sent me for TCE, I thought it would be a perfect homage to her. I loved recording those vocals with her watching me.”
