‘Dancing With Myself’ on the FM4 website

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

That’s it. I have to set up a Google alert for my name – and don’t pretend that you haven’t done that already. Then I wouldn’t have missed Michael Schmid’s great summary (sorry German only) of the panel discussion at the Dancing With Myself conference on the FM4 website. This round table took place in Berlin on the 17th of January and I was part of it.

In this very lively discussion I took the role of someone who doesn’t believe that we need ‘professionals’ that recommend music to us and who decide what is good and what isn’t. My point was that we have enough tools that allow us to find more music in a democratic way such as Last.fm.

Almost ironic to hear that from someone who is producing a radio show every week for over four years. I guess have fully excepted the fact that it’s very old fashioned and that the ‘relevance’ of my show can only go down from now on.
