people you look for

Hello, and welcome to the Darkroom podcast for February 26th 2008.

We're breaking with tradition tonight by recording this introduction, rather than just giving you the music by itself. We're doing this because there's actually quite a lot going on in Darkroom-land right now, and we wanted to tell you about it.

First, and most importantly, Darkroom has a shiny new website, which you can find at darkroomtheband.net. Central to the site is our blog, which is being updated quite regularly at the moment, with news of our own doings, including progress on the new album, as well as various other bits and bobs of potential interest. We heartily encourage you to subscribe to it, and if you're not sure how to subscribe to blogs, my personal recommendation is to check out Google Reader.

Secondly, we recently made available a free download-only release, containing tracks that didn't quite make it onto our album "The DAC Mixes". You can get it for free from burningshed.com, or read about it on our website, which once again is darkroomtheband.net.

We also wanted to mention that we've recently put all our material up on Last.fm, so you can now go there to listen to bits of all our albums, including some full tracks. If you're not a Last.fm user, check it out at www.last.fm. It seems to be a pretty good way of discovering new music, as well as keeping tabs on bands you already know you like.

So now to the music. This is the third track taken from our recent BBC soundtrack commission, and was supposed to convey wistful sadness. You can download a version with just the music, without this introduction, from our page on last.fm. Incidentally, please do mail us and let us know if you like having an introduction like this on your podcasts. Contact links are on our website, which once again is darkroomtheband.net.

That's it from me, and I by the way am Os, not Mike. I leave you with the track "people you look for". Cheers!
