Windows Phone 7 Marketplace Pricing

I wrote a small article the other day about the discrepancy of marketplace pricing. There were a number of concerns from people that this information wasn't correct. Below is a screen shot of the numbers straight from App Hub, which is where a developer creates the application submission for their program and sets the price.

The link mentioned in the screen shot for the pricing FAQ goes here: http://create.msdn.com/en-US/home/faq/windows_phone_7#wp7faq47 you don't need a developer account to access that.

Fortyone - Fawlty One Towers

On the way for looking for some Drum Samples, I found the following (http://www.41music.net/free/albums/FLUV029/index.html) linked off of Sample Swap (http://sampleswap.org/).


It's a collection of songs made with samples of Faulty Towers and samples available off of the Sample Swap site. Each song has an accompanying video, with the cuts of the video relating to the played samples. Some of the concepts in these songs are just brilliant.

A great icon of pop culture remixed to the modern world.

A post to remind me that I have seen it and like it:

If you haven't seen the Muppets Popcorn - with the Swedish Chef then I recommend you watch this.
Almost a remix but at the very least a great and talented rendition.

Pogo

Pogo, my new hero.

From the land of Wait Awhile, Pogo brings something unique and new to a sound scape saturated with the normal and seemingly obvious. I'm not sure that remixing would be an appropriate name for this style of creative output; even so, I had a strong feeling of association from the work that Pogo does, to that of The Avalanches and their album Since I Left You (Which by the way hit the 10 year anniversary recently).

I strongly recommend checking out the work that Pogo produces, most of his tracks are available for download here: http://www.pogomix.net/downloads/

However some songs, like Upular, are only available from YouTube:

Hermitude Free Track

Hermitude are giving away a free song at the moment for joining their mailing list. Well worth checking out if your in to a bit of electronic-hip hop fusion.
