chart love

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 02:27:55 +0200

I love the APC charts
simply the perfect way to close the months in style
and to resume what we’ve done, what we had

we get about 30-40 submissions every single day
so it’s about 1000 tracks in total each month
kindda impossible to listen them all
plus we follow and filter the best music sites
it also adds few hundred other tracks to the whole

we have 6 posts on APC every day
and not all of them are tunes as you know it
so only to feature on APC is a kindda big deal IMO
but to be on the TOP 10 is MEGA
I’m talking about each chart
the official, the editors charts and the new download chart as well
if you ever had a track on our charts your are amazing
and if you are amazing you been or you will be on the TOP 10
be proud of it

charting is love
it’s an endless love

when was the last time you logged in to your MySpace account?

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 23:46:00 +0200

recently I just discovered that I still had my March TOP 10 on my profile…

I’m not gonna delete it tho
I will leave it like that
it’s the memory of the good ol’ days
and also the place where all this Simon Iddol craze started
with my silly Vatican City incognito and stuff ;)

so, does someone still use MySpace?
put your hands up friend fakerz!

Simon Iddol's recommended Android apps

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:00:00 +0200

many of you are asking me about Android apps and about Galaxy S
here is a simple way to keep you updated

I’ve registered on AppBrain
which is probably the best tool to discover and manage Android apps
it works from your computer and from your phone as well
I made my applist public, so you can see what I use on my phone
BUT
I download, test, use, play around with many apps
and most of them are only for blogging and testing purposes
so I’ve created a dedicated list to my fave Android apps
this way you can find my faves easily
each app on the recommended list is a gem, try them!
the list is updated frequently
so make sure to check it weekly!

Android developers, feel free to contact me
if I like your app, I will help you to make some hype

so here are my fave Android apps
(my current fave is not on the list, cos the TweetDeck is beta ATM)

Simon Iddol’s recommended apps

13 total, 12 free (92%), 1 paid (7%), 16MB total size, $3.76 total price

sometimes I login to my LinkedIn account
but I always feel strange there

every time I decide that I will take it seriously and properly update it
but then life washes these plans away…

do you use LinkedIn? are we connected there?
should I be a nice kid and use it daily?

as I’ve tweeted few minutes ago I got a cool DJ app…
…for my phone!

yes, I’m DJing on my Samsung GalaxyS in my studio at the moment
the app is called DJStudio and of course it runs on Android
my first impressions are great
I’m really up for more adventures with this baby

the app works with mp3’s and wavs
you can do many things with it, just like in the laptop DJ softwares
I will test it and let you know about my thoughts

life is crazy, technology RAWKZ and this is only the beginning
the world is not ready for gadgets like the Galaxy S ;)
it’s not a superphone, it’s a secret weapon :D

massive THX to Damien @ Beatronik for the app
now I’m off to spin few more tracks from my SD card, hihihi
