Happy New Year!
To all the people (whoever you are) who enjoy my rants and raves here at DJPalmer.com (and other places), may I wish you a happy new year in 2010. And to see out 2009…the team from JibJab!
Big Dan + Christmas = Episode 36
Well folks, it’s Christmas time, and it’s time for a gift that’s better than a digital TV channel with a friggin’ ugly watermark (that’s 7TWO on Prime, channel 62, if you’re wondering) – episode 36 of the Big Dan Show – the Christmas edition.
Here’s a quick synop -
It’s the annual Christmas episode of the Big Dan Show, featuring user submitted clips and a 70s classic. Plus Big Dan rambles on and on about something or other. In any case, enjoy! And for more, go to djpalmer.com and thebigdanshow.com

Followers/subscribers of my YouTube channel might recall that I have discovered a ton of old VHS tapes and have been uploading some old intros, stuff at the end of the tape, etc….
I have also been contributing to the fantastic Cannon Films fansite, and they have taken some Cannon and Hoyts related clips and put it into one. Stay tuned to cannonfilms.co.uk -- because I’ll soon be writing a page for that site!
Enjoy!
New Month – New Big Dan Show
Well folks, it’s been about a month since I last did a Big Dan Show, so it’s time for another one. This is the admittedly lame description I put up over at TheBigDanShow.com.
Big Dan marks the transition from busy time of year to, well, another busy time of year with a new edition of The Big Dan Show. Featuring two mixes/mashups and, as usual, an update on me. Because you (well, one of you) love me so much. For more, go to djpalmer.com or thebigdanshow.com

Chicks I Dig – Leighton Meester
I admit, I don’t watch or download Gossip Girl. But after seeing these photos of Leighton Meester in this month’s GQ magazine…I might have to make a point of watching it…especially if she wears this get-up…
And how nice is it to see women with a bit of meat on their bones getting into men’s magazines. First Ricki-Lee in Ralph, now this…sensational stuff.
Regional viewers get screwed again…
Once again, regional viewers have gotten a bum deal when it comes to digital television, thanks to Prime Television and their idiocy.
Over the weekend, the Seven Network launched its new digital channel 7TWO across its owned and operated stations in all five metro capitals and regional Queensland. The channel is a bit like GO!, with a few British shows and US cult shows thrown in for good measure. Fans of Heroes and Lost will need to buy a set top box to watch the new channels, which is fine, if you live in a metro area or in regional Queensland.
However, if you live in a regional area in New South Wales or Victoria, thanks to the rampant stupidity of Ramsey’s Retards, you’ll have to wait until 2010 to get the channel. Or later. Well done Paul, you’ve just driven potential viewers to channel BT, if they haven’t done so already. Yes, Mr Ramsey, country people do know how to use the internet – we’re not all inbred farmers…
The equalisation of regional TV that Labor in the 80’s introduced has been done in a half-arsed manner. Local content rules wasn’t brought in until later in the piece when (who else) Prime and Southern Cross cancelled local news bulletins in Newcastle, Wollongong, Canberra and Northern Queensland, digital channels not being launched until months after metro viewers got them, and overnight programming gems replaced by infomercials. Not looking good, is it?
Mr Ramsey, pick your poison. You cannot be a media mogul, a health care mogul or a A-League owner (he co-owns $ydney FC, home of has-been ex-Socceroos, and no, I don’t give a shit if they are on top of the ladder) and be competent in all three if you cannot be competent in one of them.
Want more Big Dan Show? You got it!
Well folks, the new PC is up and running, just about everything is installed, the web server has more server space, so you should know what that means…episode 34 of the Big Dan Show has been recorded, uploaded and is now online for your amusement…somewhat.
Here’s a quick synop of the show…
The Big Dan Show – the show guaranteed to crash more times than Windows Vista ever did – is back for episode 34 with the one and only (thank god) Danny J. Palmer. Join Big Dan for 30 minutes of crap as he talks Jets football, Windows 7 (and his new PC!), the launch of 7TWO and why both it and Prime TV are utterly s***house, plus flashbacks to Duke Nukem 3D and the glory days of MP3.com. All that, and a bag of chips…provided you pay for it. For more, go to www.djpalmer.com or www.thebigdanshow.com

More audio clips than Fords in the Bathurst 1000 top ten
Hello folks! A few audio clips from here, there and everywhere…
First of all, as some of you might be aware, I was interviewed by Aaron Kearney on his ABC 1233 Newcastle (and all its AM and FM satellites and relay stations up and down the Hunter) program about the podcast (which can always be found at thebigdanshow.com) and how it came about, how I did it, etc…
And naturally, I recorded and uploaded the interview for your benefit. I won’t put it in the next show, as I have other stuff planned for that. It’s not the best quality, but it’s still good enough for listening to.
It is available in MP3 format from this site at:
http://djpalmer.com/files/TheBigDanShow-ABC1233-AaronInterview.mp3
And next up, a quick plug for the one and only Frankster, for he has uploaded episode 32 of the Frankster Podcast over at his site. I encourage you to download and enjoy!
Get stuck in folks!
Episode 33 of the Big Dan Show is GO!
Because it’s what you want, a new episode of the Big Dan Show is now online! Have a quick read of the synopsis…
Because no one asked for it, Big Dan proudly brings to you nearly 40 minutes worth of verbal diarrhoea for your “enjoyment”. And yet again, it’s still free. Featuring my thoughts on the future of a cinema chain, the NRL Grand Final and brings together a one-hit wonder and the Jets-Adelaide game because he sort-of-lost a bet. All that, and some great tunes in your latest edition of The Big Dan Show. For more, go to www.djpalmer.com or www.thebigdanshow.com
Grab your copy of The Big Dan Show from the website, iTunes or use the RSS feed. Or directly download it from here.
Oh, and if you’re in the Newcastle and Upper Hunter area – stay tuned.
