Get your petrol for 5-10p per litre less...

...Well maybe! At the moment the idea is just a twinkle in someone's eye and something I noticed in the latest e-newsletter from Martins Money Tips. It costs nothing to register your interest in participating, and we all know nothing ventured = nothing gained. If this organisation gets enough interested participants then the idea may well get the green light to offer those registered discounted petrol. Check it out by clicking here and see the FAQ section for answers to the obvious questions.

Alpha and Omega Dubplates available online

Veteran Reggae/Dub producers/label Alpha & Omega now offer limited exclusivity dubplate mixes of some of their productions via their ebay store 'Dubshop.' You can listen to a sample of the track and then buy an mp3 download of it instantly. As well as their own productions which currently number 30 dubplate mixes they are also offering some dubs from Disciples (6), Jonah Dan (10) and Vibronics (3). The mixes are priced very economically. I havent yet seen any statement about how exclusive they will remain i.e. once three mixes sell, will they be listed again... and again? Very enterprising of A&O to provide this online facility. I will watch closely to see if this is something microphonic can exploit in future and in the meantime hope they have lots of success, they deserve it.
