trent reznor is awesome.
this player is different than the r3 player, yes? it's better, i'll tell you what i mean. for a long time i couldn't watch the r3 player, it was too slow (because it was made for people with faster video.) but this player will let more people watch it without downloading or waiting a day for it to be on youtube.

Hey, I'm wondering why you guys want to shorten the length of the show? It didn't seem like it was too long or drawn out before. Is there any technical or bandwidth limitations from a longer show? Just Curious.

Might be getting overwhelming to find that much content that often. They have an awesome show. Sorry that it took me a while to mentally get past the name change a while back.

zadi and steve must have worked their asses off to get nearly as much bang out of each minute from the 9 to 10 minute shows, but i think it must have been more than twice as easy when it was 5 minutes, and i think it often showed (just slightly.) 5 minutes probably was easier on some of the audience too, although i was happy to watch twice as much of the show. imagine any favorite weekly 30 minute show trying to go to an hour show though.
the good news (if i'm right) is that there will still be extra footage on the blogs, like they have now. i actually think in the future people like zadi and steve will create shows that allow you to mix your own episode, selecting the segments you want to watch before you push play, then sitting back and enjoying the show.

I wouldn't want to go to the Obama inauguration myself. It sounds like a real madhouse, with not enough porta potties, which could be nasty. I wouldn't mind having an invitation to sell, though!

It's apparently a possibility that scalping them inauguration tickets could be a federal offense.
And... sigh @ the jarring "check blog.epicfu.com for the answers" screen. Epic Fu is known for sexier segues than that.

this podcast won't transfer to my ipod. the older episodes transferred, but i get a "podcast was not copied to the ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod" message when i try to sink this episode. did you guys do something different this week? i'm using a touch 2g btw.

they're using a new player. blip.tv i think. i would love to see the show playable on ipods, i don't find it easy to believe someone won't find a way. i hope someone figures it out and shares their secret.

Ack, I missed this last month, sorry! Yes, the change from Rev3 created a slight problem with our feed formats. You are probably subscribed to the iTunes Quicktime format. To get the show onto your iPod or iPhone Just unsubscribe from the Quicktime and resubscribe to this feed:
http://epicfu.com/ipod
That should fix the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience!

The new format seems very well tought. Zadi looks more confindent, I get a feeling of professionality here.
Now what I miss is the underground touch. I like very very much the epicfu that gives us not only a different scope on things, but the the one who reveals upcoming hypes, fresh and indie.
The Interviews are very fine, but don't miss the escence of the show, what distinguish you from other plain videoblogs. You are really a show.
Great show guys! Wish you more success!

Not bad, Although I prefer Megadriver's "bloody tears" \m/ \m/
if you're competing with the magnatune label (it sounds like you might be, even if not intentionally) it's good to know they split things 50/50 with their artists, based on cd's and presumably subscription based listening. like your label they off...
ok so long term a subscription option is on the cards, I just have to work out the model, how to distribute funds to artists equitably and also have enough content coming into the site to make a subscription service viable.

I like this one:
ok, I'll stop posting my own clips... :-(
I am planning on trying to distribute everything using a creative commons licence I just need to work out what exactly. Most likely the MP3's will be under a CC licence that allows for file sharing but not re selling or remixing/sampling without p...
it's not the reason why, but for some reason i've never liked cable internet. for years i kept a sort of mental record of who was unhappy with cable and who was unhappy with dsl, and my impression for the years i did not have high-speed access mys...
I haven't really spread the word about this one yet but I am starting up my own online record label / record store / way to release music called Binary Releases. I'm setting it up to be uber flexible as far as release methods and costing goes but ...
i think it would be very cool if you opened up @epicfans to include links to news that people on mix consider worthy of posting on the newsshare app. i don't think it's used often enough that it would be too much hassle for you, but you decide. al...
