A saturday night out. It’s been a while, and now that I’m gonna do it, it’s gonna be good. And varied. I’m starting with a performance by Adam Kowalczyk, followed by a nice party with performances by Owen, Apparat and Lackluster.
So, starting out with a pop/rock gig, and then moving to danceable electronic bleeps. Yes, this is going to be a good night.
It is really hard to type when you have a 5-week-old kitten sleeping on your arm. Trust me on that.
I frequent quite a few forums, related to different subjects. n5MD is a very cool independent label where good music comes out, and they also have a forum. Today, a wonderful topic was posted on that forum. It gives an interesting alternate view on schizophrenia.
Read it, and think about it a bit more.
A few months ago, through various forums and mailinglists, I was alerted of the presence of a site called JetGroove.com that was selling mp3 downloads of independant artists and labels, without the permission to actually do so. The site currently only has a temporary page telling visitors it’s “down for maintainance”.
In the meanwhile, a forum that I am responsible for got spammed with a promotional message for a site resembling the old JetGroove so much that it couldn’t be a coincidence. It is the exact same site design, and a very very similar catalog of independant music. They only rebranded the site!
So here is my warning. Please, please do NOT buy music from www.audio1.org. Buy the music directly from the labels and artists! They need the money much harder and actually deserve the money you’re spending.
‘Blog’ is now word of the year. For some reason, a lot of people didn’t know what the word ‘blog’ meant this year. Isn’t that strange? I mean, everyone and their grandma have at least one weblog, and yet nobody knows what it means.
Personally, I hate the term ‘blog’. I’d rather speak of a ‘weblog’. ‘Blog’ sounds like a scary disease.
