Free, Ad-Supported Music ... With a Twist. Guvera's upcoming music service will offer free streams and downloads using a novel approach: funneling music into branded areas using a complex algorithm that obviates the need for users to sit through ads. The catch: a velvet-rope policy limiting the service to the first 100,000 users. [Wired Top Stories] 1:10:31 PM    Any comment? [] Today one of the founding fathers of commercial radio in The Netherlands died on a respectable age of 100 years old. I met Hendrik 'Oom Bull' Verwey for the first time when he did the opening ceremony of Radio 538 back in 1992, then he already was 82 years old! Oom Bull is one of the most positive people that I've ever met and despite all the discomfort that comes with old age he remained extremely positive and full of beautiful stories of the early days of commercial radio in the sixties en seventies. Below a few pictures, one on a boat during an offshore radio meeting on a boat in Muiden in 2000 and two where I install and explain a TV in his residence at that time (I believe in 2002). 12:22:26 AM    Any comment? []
