Yeah. Fail on the music streaming. But some sort of downloadable content coming I think...
And it seems to have made the news.

fair old line up that ! genuninely impressive to see this lot turning out for Occupy.....
and good to see Horse Meat Disco supporting via Soundcloud , never had them down as particularly political, but Occupy seems to be having that effect on people. HMD doing a night at a Occupy cld be amaze...
Very much hoping all this energy can be maintained through winter.

Just loads of distortion with the occasional overheard conversation.Pretty much what you'd expect from a laptop microphone (?) right i front of the speakers.
Images worked well though. They just needed to stream from the line-out on the mixer really.

bound to happen with something like that
can see the gripe and can also see that it would have to have been kept well quiet too
the top something %
at least one of our posters made it into the catchment
recognised 1 or 2 faces on the livestream but not saying who and from where!

Over in America there have been occupations of homes foreclosed on by the Banks.

Are there plans to do the same here?
It would be a good time with all the publicity over empty homes. Channel 4 have a series on this week. 'The great British property scandal.'

Embrace the confusion!
Bank Of Ideas were meant to be up in court yesterday, some kind of eviction hearing. Anyone know how it went?
Also, rumours flying around that St Pauls would pack up before the current eviction deadline, anyone more informed than I care to comment?

I found an invite in a group on FB. Today... never mind.
It would appear the head of the Financial Services Authority has had an informative discussion with protesters this evening though.
This meeting is a very hot topic at the moment. There are real concerns about the agreements made on the logistics of this meeting. No livestreaming/video allowed, whether or not a full transcript of the minutes will be made available etc. and most importantly, how many people were involved in the decision to agree these terms.
Was at the one in Exeter yesterday - was not impressed, tbh. My biggest issue was having some twunt patronise me by saying "don't trust the mainstream media - go on the internet and read blogs, if you want the truth...". Cunt.
That aside, it just really seemed a bit shambolic, imo.

But seriously, it was shit. I generally support the occupy movement, but if this was in anyway representative (a few hippies sat outside a cathedral with a load of drunks, all hating each other, hoping that one day capitalism will end ...) - well, what's the point? That's not going to get anyone anywhere.

I think Ocs might need a certain number to get beyond the 'shambolic' point outlined above. Theory in progress mind. Something to do with outnumbering the pissheads and stuff. I know I was getting flamed for this kind of talk at the start of the Occupations, but too many conversations with people at different Occupations outweigh such flaming. The fact that no drug/booze policies seem to be effective back this up.
Exeter had a "no drink" policy - clearly not being enforced very well, as one of the alky types was drinking booze in the visitors tent - fwiw.

Two things there Ddraig.
1) Telling some pisshead not to drink takes confidence and they could easily be aggressive shits who tell you to fuck off. i.e 'not necessarily very easy at all' to answer your question.
2)These are public spaces, although some say an 'occupied' space is different somehow I'll leave that debate for now. So people may well be able to do as they please making the Oc come over as 'authoritarian' which many occupiers would baulk at. If drinking is not allowed under bye law then you COULD tell plod or similar, but again that is not in the political DNA of many and could come back to haunt you as lots of local pissheads get it into their heads that you are 'grasses'
