the end of record shops is neigh

November 15, 2006 – 21:02

This occurred to me last week when a number of different events came together in a blistering vision of how digital downloads will make record shops and distributors obsolete. Kapow! Well, it wasn’t really that spectacular, but on one hand there was a thread on the gabber.org mailinglist about oldskool media sales in general (cds [...]

neave.tv, a streaming web video experiment

November 9, 2006 – 20:22

There are lots of video sites popping up all over the place recently, like YouTube, Google Video and Blip.tv. All very nice of course, but you can waste a serious amount of time clicking through tons of crappy vids to find some decent stuff. The Neave.tv site I came across through a dead tree blog [...]

happy 1st of november

November 1, 2006 – 1:20

Happy Halloween folks. And for those not happy about Halloween, a happy non-Halloween! May your day be void of dressed up children and carved out pumpkins. Instead of a rant about how Halloween is being shoved down our throats by commerce, how about something to laugh about. Yes, something I find really funny, and it’s [...]

voidheads dj set from hell

Time for another hardcore drum’n’bass mix.

I picked this excellent piece of an mp3 up over at the jungletrain forums, mixed together by the one like [...]

I just read this dutch news article on how the Belgian movie industry is loosing about 30 million a year due to piracy, which is about 7 percent of the total income. Arrrrrr. Not a real surprise of course, since this is pretty much a global phenomenon, but the thing that did knock me off [...]

how about an mp3 and podcast authoring tip

October 14, 2006 – 20:50

To all those posting podcasts and mp3s, fill out your ID3 tags. Seriously. WTF is an ID3 tag? Well it has nothing to do with those folks over at ID who managed to create the fantastic Doom and Quake FPS games, nope, but it has everything to do with identification fields in your mp3 files. [...]

banksy pwned paris hilton

September 9, 2006 – 15:33

I always loved the social criticism Banksy spread through the streets with his stencil and graffiti art, and his occasional pranks, like the one where he put some of his own art in the Brooklyn museum. But his last one where he enhanced 500 copies of the first and hopefully last Paris Hilton CD with [...]
