Desde hoy y hasta finales de mes dos horas de programa cubriendo los minutos de "Saltamontes" del compañero Angel Lobo. En la primera hora de 16 a 17 sonaron trece discos que rodaban en el programa en ese año 1975 que fue cuando se editaron. A saber: "Slow dazzle" de John Cale, Sweet deceiver" de Kevin Ayers, "Make me smile" de Steve Harley y Cockney Rebel, Ian Hunter y su disco del mismo nombre, "Soap opera" de The Kinks, "Down by the jetty" de Dr. Feelgood, "Tonight´s the night" de Neil Young, "At seventeen" de Janis Ian, "Songbird" de Jesse Colin Young, "Cold on the shoulder" de Gordon Lightfoot, "Captured angel" de Dan Fogelberg, "Head over heels" de Poco y "Flying again" de Flying Burrito Brothers. En la hora normal acabamos con el directo restaurado y remasterizado de aquel concierto de INXS de Wembley de julio del 91 y con otro tema más del EP excedente de cupo del "Ma..." de Devendra Banhart. Además, fueron noticias del día el recuerdo de Pearl Jam en los veinte años de la muerte de nueve jóvenes en el festival de Roskilde en los tiempos del "Binaural", el disco que publicará Third Man de un directo de Johnny Cash en 1973, la recuperación de los viejos trabajos de Spoon, que Gary Numan no entiende el rechazo a los conciertos con espectadores en coche y que Vince Power ex jefe del FIB se hace cargo de la sala Dingwalls (allí vi a Drugstore en el 95) de Candem. Novedad internacional servida por Dan Owen y de aquí la recuperación de un disco perdido y grabado en el 2000 de Los Bichos (o de El Bicho) con apuntes de Jaime Cristóbal (J´aIme), el estreno de los castellonenses Twizel, el debut de Castro y el retorno de Fast Forward recordando a Joy Division.

Vince Power is a man who had it all, lost it all & is on his way to reclaiming it all back. The Co Waterford-born, London-based self-made mogul started his Mean Fiddler empire in 1982 with one humble yet revolutionary venue: innovations at The Mean Fiddler in Harlesden included cold Budweiser beer, a proper PA system and decent showers for the bands. The Fleadh, Benicassim, and the Reading & Leeds festivals all soon followed as part of an illustrious career in the live music industry. Having also run the likes of Madstock, The Phoenix Festival, Tribal Gathering and Homelands, in 2001 Mean Fiddler overhauled Glastonbury, revitalising it for the 21st century. Power never forgot his Irish roots whilst building Mean Fiddler into a global promotional enterprise, which he finally sold to rivals Clear Channel in 2005 for £38 million.
Vince Power is an Irishman who has promoted some of the giants of music at various venues in the UK. Today he's fighting for the jewel in what remains of his once lavish crown, a pub on Ladbroke Grove in Notting Hill, London, known to the locals as the KPH.
This week, Kristine Simpson and Julia Kent answer a big question: how can young PR professionals get rid of any negative PR stereotypes. A question, Kristine asked while she attended Conversations 2013, the CPRS National Conference in Gatineau. As you go through the lessons below click on the bold links. they will direct you to the full interview on YouTube. Here is what she learned: Evan Solomon, a reporter by trade, reminded us that the PR industry lacks authenticity. Lack of authenticity results in mistrust. He says we need to get that trust back by being spontaneous and breaking free from canned messages. On that note, Kristine reminds our readers it is all about building relationships and makes reference to an article called Media Relations 2.0. The standard news release is dying, build a relationship with journalists instead. Dan Tisch says we too often define ourselves as the things we do - i.e. media relations, social media - when we should be looking at the value of what we do. Dan also encourages young pros to make business literacy your number one goal in your education and training. Understanding the business of your organization will help you understand the value PR brings to an organization. Terry Fallis quotes the first line in his new book, Up and Down, "Welcome to the dark side," says the agency manager to the new recruit. Terry says the image that PR is the dark side still exists and encourages young pros to not just do PR for their companies, but for the PR industry as well. Ira Basen, a producer with CBC, says we have to find out what the negative sterotype is and thens imply stop doing it. but in general, he says we should be truthful and honest. Ira also reminds young pros that this is a big burden to carry on one person's shoulders. We shouldn't be responsible for the industry's reputation, just our own. If everyone worries about their own reputation and makes an effort to do good PR, then the industry will grow. Alexandra Samuel makes reference to a familiar idea: breaking down the silos. She says young pros enter the work force in a silo - the social media expert. But social media is more than just a job these days, it is our entire industry. She encourages young professionals who get stuck in the social media role to remind your superiors you are more than just a tweeter. You are building relationships. To finish off the conference, CPRS held a panel called the Future of PR. The panel included Dan Tisch, Jean Valin, Stephanie Lawrence and Vince Power and was moderated by Bruce MacLellan. Here are a few comments the panel made about improving the industry's stereotypes: Redefine what we do from a service to value. We look after the company's reputation, that is valuable. Reflect the values of an organization through our communications. PR can be the gateway to showcasing the value of trusting an orgyanization. Call out bad practice. Don't let people get away with bad PR, because it is not PR, it is just lies. Remind the world that PR does more than just communications for an organization, but often we are the ones behind the corporate social responsibility initiatives, helpiong local and global communities. Be part of a professional organization where we can work together towards international standards. Everyone in a professional organization such as CPRS or IABC should hold each other accountable. Finally, don't let this blog post just sit here. Start a conversation with your boss, your peers, your colleagues, your friends and see how you can change PR and eliminate any negative stereotypes. You can get full access to all the content from Conversations 2013 through our Facebook tab, on our Pinterest board or on the #CPRS2013 YouTube playlist. We want to hear from you.
