heute:pop:blog.  

When I realized that I won’t be able to attend this years Transmission conference because of other commitments (it will become more clear next week) I was disappointed. I had such a great time last year and I felt I’m missing out.

Fortunately I was able to participate at least in one way: I took part in their Politalk48 session which is basically a panel of experts who discuss a topic via email over a period of 48 hours. The results are then published on the TransmitNow website for anyone to read. The topic was “Next Generation Leadership” and the outcome can be found here.

This is my penultimate show. Weird. As mentioned this morning there will be repeats of heute:pop:morgen on Tide 96.0 until the end of the year but no more new shows from me. Again, today I went through the playlists from the last five (!) to compile the below.

You can listen to the show here.

1. Gravenhurst ‘Velvet Cell’
2. Sebastien Tellier ‘La Ritournelle’ (Mr Dan’s Magic Wand Remix)
3. Bloc Party ‘The Pioneers’ (M83 Remix)
4. Beck ‘Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime’
5. Ben Gibbard ‘Carolina’
6. Willy Mason ‘We Can Be Strong’
7. The Postal Service ‘Against All Odds’
8. Chris Garneau ‘Baby’s Romance’
9. Manchester Orchestra ‘I Can Feel A Hot One’
10. Bon Iver ‘re: Stacks’
11. Soko ‘I Will Never Love You More’
12. Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip ‘Thou Shalt Always Kill’
13. The Wave Pictures ‘I Love You Like A Madman’

Only two more shows to go after this one. Regular listeners will recognize many of the songs below – going through all my old playlists brings up good memories. Interesting how with some songs I know exactly why I played them on my show and where found them and with others I have no recollection why they ended up on my playlist.

I know you might be sick of hearing about it by now but if you can please have a look at my SXSW panel and vote. Thanks.

If you have seen me recently on a panel or doing a presentation you would have noticed that there is one topic that I’m very interested in: how the consumption of recorded music has changed over the years and how it will continue to develop.

Looking into the past is vital but also fairly easy. The future is the tricky one and for some the most fascinating: I want to find out how we will consume recorded music in 10 years from now but to find some good answers I might need some help.

This is how I came up with my idea for a panel at SXSW next year in Austin. As you might know, they encourage people to come up with ideas for a panel or presentation and post them on their website for anyone to vote on.

Of course you guessed it by now: please vote for my panel suggestion at the SXSW 2010 Panelpicker. You can see from my description on there what I’m trying to do. Also, please suggest people that should be on that panel by posting a comment here or on the Panelpicker. Maybe I won’t be the only one that’s trying to promote themselves.

What a great time we had at the Big Chill. You can check out some pictures on my flickr set.
