I can't get this song out my head! Might have to add my own verse to this!

Absolutely brilliant! I love this! Thanks for bringing this Vipa!

Its certainly heading that way here in the UK. Apart from your local supermarket, there is now only one place on the high street to buy music and that is HMV. It is the only dedicated music store left. Once that goes it will be mainly an online market. I'm sure this will be common ground in the not so distant future!

It's a near era in music... Soon you will only be able to buy music on line and a push will be more on the independent route..

The pioneering businessman, who was the mind behind the revolutionary iPhone and iPad devices, had been battling pancreatic cancer. He stepped down from his post as Apple’s chief executive in August saying he could no longer handle the job due to his illness. Mr Jobs, who lived in Silicone Valley, California, died yesterday surrounded by his family.. Apple said it was “deeply saddened” by the news. A company spokesman said: “Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. “His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.” A statement released by his family added: “Steve died peacefully surrounded by his family. “In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he cherished his family. “We are thankful to the many people who have shared their wishes and prayers during the last year of Steve’s illness. “We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time of grief.” The father-of-four started Apple Computer with high school friend Steve Wozniak in his garage in 1976 but was forced out a decade later. He returned in the mid-1990s and transformed Apple into one of the world’s most powerful companies. Just two months ago the frail-looking businessman resigned as the company’s CEO due to his health, but said he would continue to play a leadership role. He was replaced by Apple’s chief operating officer, Tim Cook, and took the role of chairman of the company’s board. In a letter addressed to Apple’s board, the entrepreneur said he “always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come”. Mr Jobs, described by many as an industry oracle who revolutionised computing, survived pancreatic cancer in 2004 before receiving a liver transplant in 2009. He had taken three spells of leave over the past several years, with the most recent spell in January. Floods of tributes today poured in from some of the technology industry’s biggest names. Bill Gates, the founder of rival technology company Microsoft and friend of Mr Jobs, said he would miss him “immensely”. “The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come,” he added. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page: “Steve, thank you for being a mentor and a friend. Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world. I will miss you.” After leaving Apple in 1985 Mr Jobs went on to co-found Pixar Animation Studios, which has created some of the most successful animated films of all time including Toy Story, A Bug’s Life and Finding Nemo. In 2006, he sold the Pixar to The Walt Disney Company and secured a seat on the board. He returned to Apple as an advisor in 1996 – a year it lost 900 million US dollars as Microsoft Windows-based PCs dominated the computer market. However, the tides started to turn following the hugely successful 1998 release of the iMac and Mr Jobs later became chief executive Apple’s popularity grew across the world throughout the past decade with the introduction of its sleek line of iPods, the iPhone and more recently the iPad. President Barack Obama also paid tribute to Mr Jobs, saying “the world has lost a visionary”. In a statement he said: “Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it. “He transformed our lives, redefined entire industries, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: he changed the way each of us sees the world. “The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented.” Mr Cook said Apple had “lost a visionary and creative genius”. In an email circulated to staff he said: “Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. “No words can adequately express our sadness at Steve’s death or our gratitude for the opportunity to work with him. We will honour his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much.” Read More http://www.walesonline.co.uk/showbiz-and-lifestyle/showbiz/2011/10/06/apple-founder-steve-jobs-dies-after-illness-battle-91466-29548637/#ixzz1Zyu8XKF9

Not a fan...

Album title?

I don't see any harm in this either... K Smith is coming up in the business and what better way to learn than having first hand experience of how it all works!

What is the name of that track? Would be great to hear it!

MASSIVE song! That album is bananas!

He sounds like he would blend perfectly with Jeffs style! Looking forward to the project!

Looks like your your building yourself up a nice collection there!

That's assuming that Jeff even has it. He probably doesn't. It would have been the perfect opportunity as Jeff put on a lot of rare remixes etc That would be fantastic if he did but unlikely I think. When has Will ever done anything like this before?

I agree! Would be great to have our own creative section again!
