RE: [backstage] A sekrit from Virgin Radio
Id be interested to know the technical set-up behind Virgin and the BBCs last.fm pages though (i.e. how the track data gets from the playout system to the last.fm page) Id gather its not as simple ashooking up the last.fm player to whatever you use for your playout I use the audioscrobbler plugin for Winamp but Id gather your set-up(s) are somewhat more complex than mine! We have asuper lady called Elsie who types out in tripliacte the names of all of the beat combos as they play out from '78. The Pink copy is filed with the BH librarians, who stamp the counterfoil and authorise the T109-D form procedure; the yellow copy is sent to theMusic (modern, repetitive)Playout Reporting Unit (third class) for record keeping; the blue copy isthen sent via registered post to the BBC's ENIAC installation in Surrey, from where it is set out to 'the Last.fm internet reception station'via a series of tubes. Look - there's a picture of her at the bottom of this page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/heritage/story/ww2/lifebbc.shtml

Thanks to some unexpectedly investigative reporting by the famously inebriated Jim 'Drunken' Campbell, a fourth set of green copies was recently discovered in the basement of Reith Wetherspoon's Parrot and Cheese Shop in the remote Welsh village of Llanmannager. The green slips are all labelled 'Blitz Avoidance Copy Kept Until Peacetime', and are apparently carried clandestinely via the only route from London that avoids every bridge, railway line and transport cafe. -- Frank Wales [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

[backstage] Witty slogan and design for Backstage T-shirts
Hi All, We're considering changing the Fabulous but somewhat bland Backstage T-shirts. Yes there great London Schwag but we can certainly do better. So we thought it would be great if we'd ask you guys what you think is the best T-shirt schwag you've seen or owned and what witty slogan or design should be included to make a even better backstage T-shirt? If you've not seen one of our Fabulous T-shirts, here's the basic design - http://flickr.com/photos/cubicgarden/275188703/ --- My instant thoughts is that Yahoo's Mash up or Shut up T-shirts are great - http://flickr.com/photos/jojojo/110959258/ But the Microformats T-shirts are very exclusive schwag which everyone wants - http://flickr.com/photos/adactio/169053620/ Let us know what you think, Ian Forrester || backstage.bbc.co.uk - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

RE: [backstage] Witty slogan and design for Backstage T-shirts
But the Microformats T-shirts are very exclusive schwag which everyone wants Erm, not me doh! Ideas to float the goat: 1. Backstage - Craic Stage (the internet should be about fun as well as other things) 2. Backstage - Craic Sage (having fun but wise) 3. Backstage - Crack Stage (as in the first above, but also covers the idea of cracking problems on the net and making things work) 4. Backstage - Crack Sage (as in the second and third above) 5. Backstage - Front of House (backstage makes the net work) 6. Backstage - Front of Mind (backstage makes the net work) 7. Backstage - Backlit (the work of backstage is backstage but it casts light on the net) 8. Jumble up the letters of backstage into something like STACK B AGE AGE B CATS K CATS BAKE G CABS GATE K SCAB TAKE G BECK A STAG and underneath write: web.2 and then, if you need to, in tiny letters add backstage. Another other meanings of crack are inadvertent. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ian Forrester Sent: Monday, October 30, 2006 5:17 PM To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: [backstage] Witty slogan and design for Backstage T-shirts Hi All, We're considering changing the Fabulous but somewhat bland Backstage T-shirts.

I had a good laughing fit looking at it, my wife wondered what the heck I was laughing at (being American I guess she's never seen the mash robots). I swear if those robots were out of copyright, we would so get them on a T-shirt... LOL Ian - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
