The ESP Institute just revels in obscure sounds. Whether it's the super-slo-mo disco of Sea Power & Change or blippy, spacy oddities from Sombrero Galaxy, they bring weird sounds to the level of refined art. Last week, they released a new remix LP from one of their banner names, Soft Rocks, The Revenge Of Soft Rocks, and from it comes today's Track Of The Day.

As we have previously advised, all full power and Class A TV stations are now required to upload their public inspection files to a dedicated FCC database created for this purpose.  Although all new public file documents must be uploaded contemporaneously, stations will have six months or until February 2, 2013 to upload pre-existing public file documents (with the exception of the political file, as explained in our previous posting).

The FCC has now announced the availability of the public file interface for both station and public access.  Specifically, TV stations may access the database for posting purposes here, while the public can access the database for the purpose of viewing stations' public files here. 

All FCC applications and authorizations existing at the FCC in electronic form have been incorporated into each station's public file database and do not need to be separately uploaded.  Also, once incorporated into the FCC public file database, the station no longer need keep a paper copy of the document in the local public file. 

As a reminder, stations will need a Federal Registration Number (FRN) and passcode to access the public file for uploading purposes.  Letters and emails from the public should not be uploaded to the FCC public file database for privacy purposes but should be retained in the local public file. 

If successful, we would expect the FCC to apply this requirement to radio stations at a future date.

Hopefully, you're already well aware that over on Beatport Play, you can win a boatload of prizes by remixing Todd Terry's classic tribal-house jam, "Samba," which originally dropped 20 years ago under his House Of Gypsies alias. To further the cause of celebration, Terry recently released the clip above to accompany said classic joint, featuring a whole lot of off-the-cuff-seeming dancing in all manner of public places, augmented with a solid dose of retro-tinged video effects.
