The video was constructed with footage from the folks at actionfigure.com. The remix is quite good, me thinks. A tip of the hat to Antville for the post. Ocelet consists of Jimmy Welsh and Cory Kilduff - they hail from the UK and makes progressive house music.

From what I've read, the Beatles really rocked during their Hamburg days. The tapes will be interesting to hear - I hope they are of good quality.

That was well made

"The Feb. 10 Grammys kudocast isthe latest awards show thrown into confusion by the writers strike," according to Variety. "The WGA indicated Monday that it won't grant a waiver for the CBS telecast. And it told the Screen Actors Guild that attendees will have to cross a picket line at the Staples Center to attend the kudos if the strike is still on." I'm not sure I'll miss them. Whataboutyou?

Cut Copy is a pop band out of Melbourne, Victoria Australia - they make catchy dance music.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (often abbreviated CYHSY) is an American indie rock group founded in New London, Connecticut and based in Brooklyn, New York and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This song appeared on their debut album, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, which was self-released in 2005.

Dumb It Down (From "The Cool" cd)

Factory, that is

Here's another cut by the funkmeister - the video is not very innovative, but that's not the point Deep House / Pino Shamlou - Big City Lights (Frankman remix)

"The Radio Dept. is an indie pop band from Lund, Sweden. The band was conceived in 1995 by schoolmates Elin Almered and Johan Duncanson, who named the group after a gas-station-turned-radio-repair-shop called "Radioavdelningen"). However, Almered and Duncanson soon stopped playing music together, putting the band on hiatus. The group was reborn three years later, in 1998, when Duncanson starting making music with Martin Larsson. In 2001, Larsson's then girlfriend Lisa Carlberg joined the group on bass, followed by Per Blomgren on drums and Daniel Tjader on keyboards." - Read more @Wikipeda.

Ars Technica reports that "Swedish prosecutors dump 4,000 legal docs on The Pirate Bay" - but the admins there don't seem too worried: Last November, Peter Sunde told Ars that, should charges come, he's sure of a legal victory. "I'm quite confident we're gonna win and I was expecting this to happen," he said. "[swedish prosecutor Håkan] Roswall is also a very biased man, so I'm glad to take it to court instead of letting him dig around my personal life for no apparent reason. Actually, it's kinda funny." Time hasn't changed his feelings on the charges, as we checked in with the Sunde. "I'm quite sure we won't be convicted anyhow," Sunde told Ars today. "[if we are], we'll just appeal all the way to the European Union court. So in five years time this might be settled."

Jamesz, you are correct. The networks are playing with fire - audiences can and will find other ways to get their entertainment. Speaking of which, as I predicted above: Black Monday At TV Studios "The force majeure ax swung wide Monday as four TV studios -- CBS Paramount Network TV, Universal Media Studios, 20th Century Fox Television and Warner Bros. TV -- tore up dozens of overall deals. All four issued similarly worded statements blaming the writers strike for the terminations, which are expected to save the studios tens of millions of dollars. But none came close to the nearly 30 overall deals axed at ABC Studios on Friday. CBS Par and 20th TV each dropped half that number. UMS and WBTV stayed in the single digits, with WBTV's termination tally said to be less than five deals. Like ABC Studios, CBS Par, UMS, 20th TV and WBTV mostly went after writers, producers and directors with no active projects." Read More

Excellent additions, and from an expert no less

I've never figured out why people are so excited about that website. Just seems like another place to post info about yourself, and pics, and stuff.

No. We are talking about their political beliefs. Extremely conservative. Some of the founders have ties to the CIA and have Reagan-Thatcher political philosophies. The world they want to create is anti-nature - totally virtual, where everyone knows everything about you. That to me, is scary. Read the article and you will have an entirely different opinion about Faceboook

True. But...the politics behind facebook are interesting.

The awards newscast itself was pathetic.

Yeah... well I was responding to Malicious Intent's slider issue. And if you don't like it,

The Daily Swarm reports that EMI is 1) close to raising $200 Million in investment 2) is preparing to lay off 1/3 fo their 6000 manned staff 3) plans to take a 'focus group' approach to album releases I find #3 to be frightening. They might as well be in the detergent business.

Quicktime Pro is pretty versatile and you can edit on it - no problems with the slider, either. I agree that Miro is top heavy - its because of all the additional programming and features they offer; but they have the slider issue covered
