  catching up to do!!***
well, since the 27th lots have happened. actually too much to mention so, i'll just have to hit the highlights. last friday evening we were booked for a gig at a location in mitte for an author's reading for the release of a book about mp3's and the current state of the music industry. the request was that we play lounge music. little did they know, but hidden in our records bags were countless numbers of techno and house records!! of course things started off slow that evening with rhythms of guitar sounds and ambient floods (boards of canada, savath&savalas..etc.) then the reading began. is this the end of the music industry? well definitely, how we know it today and it's face of yesterday! the heat of discussion followed and after seemingly 2 hours, a pause broke in the room. okay that's it, time to play records again. starting with a smooth but steady beat, we pulled them in. get a drink, sit back and enjoy. we rocked that bar down to disco town!!whew! take a breathe. over*

Thats true, the face of the music industry is changing drastically due to excessive intervention by beauracratic sources. Why repress creativity? This is the challenge every artist has faced since the day he or she is born. The external forces which ask us to adhere to societal norms and give our money the the hungry industry giants is forcing us to sit back an relax while our ideas are robbed by the man armed with the biggest and best technology as well as to the legally "righteous" folk. The motive behind this industry revision boils down to is the basic notion and principal which drives most corporations: that is the existing corporate evil of greed. We must reject this concept and fight for the arts. The arts are synonymous with human growth and development and are an integral part of the human experience. We must not give in to the industry giants. Creativity is the life force that brought us here, we cant let a few powerful greedy folks at the top of the record industry and entertainment industry destroy that.

the limit of an artist's imagination... how far can you go? life experiences, boundaries, perception's "game"; the concentrated juice of the lemon. it can be so sweet and oh so sour. -reporting from berlin city magnets
