Buy Big Music / August 1 2008
Excuse me while I plug Electric Baby Grand again , the first Enormous album on Big Arena Records.
Sales are going very well, but you don’t have a copy, do you Johnny? And neither do you, do you Emma?
So, if you are bored with Britney Spears and have had it up to here with bloody Coldplay, [...]
Netting the Evil Pirates / July 25 2008
In a long-overdue move, several of the Uk’s biggest net providers – among them British Telecom, Virgin Media, Orange, Tiscali, BSkyB and Carphone Warehouse - have signed up to a deal proposed by the UK government and the music industry to help tackle piracy online.
Hundreds of thousands of letters will be sent to net users [...]
Half Nelson / August 19 2007
Nelson Galaxy’s acoustic album is now finished and will be on sale on the Big Arena Records label in October. Full details on the release will be available later.
In the meantime, you can hop over to Nelson’s MySpace site for a sneak preview and be one of the first people in the entire universe to [...]
Thank You Very Much / August 17 2007
It’s hard to believe that it is only 30 years since Elvis Presley died. It seems like yesterday. (Sigh.)
I was only a twinkle in my father’s eye when the famous singer shrugged off his mortal coil whilst trying to empty his bowels on a toilet in Memphis back then in ’77, but I remember it [...]
The Artist Formally Available in Record Stores / July 16 2007
I am somewhat concerned that Planet Earth, the new album from Prince, the artist formerly known as ‘the artist formerly known as Prince’, was given away free this weekend with the Mail On Sunday newspaper here in the UK.
Prince probably feels that he has employed some clever marketing tactics and has outsmarted the record industry [...]
Bad Hair Day / June 2 2007
I have just made my hairdresser cry. She was only a young girl – a trainee, I believe.
‘Very short, please. About a one-inch-length all over.’ I told her upon my arrival at the new and very cheerful little barbers in the village. It costs a modest £5 to have one’s hair fashioned and styled at [...]
Big Pop Rocks! / May 7 2007
I just thought I would remind you that the Something For The Weekend EP by ENORMOUS is still available as a free download from the enormousreloaded.com website.
The featured tracks, taken from all three ENORMOUS albums for sale on Big Arena Records are:
1/Being Very Fair (taken from the album Electric Baby Grand);
2/Stand Up (taken from the [...]
Bye Bye DRM / February 7 2007
All Big Arena Records’ releases are available without any form of copy protection software.
We believe that the abolition of such software – known as Digital Rights Management (DRM) – is good for both consumers, artists and music suppliers.
Major record companies are afraid of ‘leakage’ where one person illegally copies a track for somebody else. This problem [...]
