At seems that before 1978 you were supposed to quote that your movie is copyrighted. It seems, that George Romero forget about that ! Now his first (?) Zombie films is availibe as a free download at archive.org
Strange aber wahr, Romeros "Night Of The Living Dead" in schwarz/weiss mit schaurig viel Schminke und allem was das Zombieherz begehrt, ist via Archive.org zu bekommen. Anscheinend musste man in den USA vor 1978 immer eine Copyright Notiz bei allem haben was man vertrieben hat, Romero hatte das wohl als der Film 68 rauskam vergessen. Und Archive.org hats aufgeschnappt. Wie schön. Den Film gibt es in diversesten MPEG Download-Varianten von 250MB bis 4Gigabyte und als Quicktime Streams.

Named after a word in one of Nick Chaplin's dreams -- not from a Siouxsie and the Banshees single -- Slowdive formed in Reading, England, in late 1989. The group orginally consisted of Neil Halstead (guitar/vocals), Rachel Goswell (guitar/vocals), Christian Savill (guitar), Adrian Sell (drums), and Chaplin (bass). Formed when they were mostly in their teens, Slowdive was initially lumped in with the remainder of the early-'90s British shoegaze scene; Slowdive's later releases extended upon the likes of the Cocteau Twins and the more atmospheric sides of post-punk, and they closed out their career with an excellent and misunderstood ambient LP.

The band TV on the Radio creates eclectic music -- a proper reflection of a group with diverse backgrounds and interests. While their sound ranges from doo-wop to distortion, TV on the Radio is increasingly mentioned as an art rock group with wide appeal, following the trail blazed by the Talking Heads.
Two visual artists are at the helm of TV on the Radio, which is based in art-friendly Brooklyn, New York. Tunde Adebimpe, the group's lead vocalist, is also a multimedia artist who specializes in stop-motion animation.
David Andrew Sitek, who mans a variety of equipment and instruments as needed, is a visual artist and music producer for other New York-area groups who have made it big in the past couple of years. Stolen from npr.org
I guess evryone running a weblog knows the problem, porn sites (but also others) are spamming the referer page, to get a higher page rank at google.
My weblog is hosted by antville.org , I guess among the free weblog services it's the best, but untill know, they don't offer any solution to this problem. User of www.movabletype.org are starting to use black-lists, but most of the spammers are using the free blog service blogger.com and it takes only a few seconds to create a new accout which is being used to spam other accounts.
The story goes that after years of estrangement, the Casady sisters (Sierra and Bianca) reunited in Paris and concocted La Maison de Mon Reve (The House of My Dream). And what a dream it is. CocoRosie mess with meter and measure to create creepy and bewitching songscapes. Blending trip-hop, jazz and blues loosely led by guitar, piano, flute and weird, ambient sounds (chains, roosters, toys), the duo use their siren voices for sociopolitical rabble-rousing. In "Jesus Loves Me," they braze. Stolen from rollingstone.com
A longtime pillar in the Chicago underground community and architect of the post-rock sound, Sam Prekop first gained notoriety at the helm of Shrimp Boat before becoming the leader of the Sea and Cake, whose fusion of styles both in and out of rock was both creative and experimental while remaining highly listenable. Prekop holds considerable stature in the Chicago scene, so it isn't surprising that when he released his self-titled debut solo LP in 1999 (on Thrill Jockey Records, themselves cornerstones in Chicago's music).

Tortoise revolutionized American indie rock in the mid-'90s by playing down tried-and-true punk and rock & roll influences, emphasizing instead the incorporation of a variety of left-field music genres from the past 20 years, including Krautrock, dub, avant-garde jazz, classical minimalism, ambient and space music, film music, and British electronica.

OOIOO features Yoshimi, one of the most interesting avant-rock artists making music today. Thrust into the spotlight in 2002 when she was made the "theme" of the Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, she has responded with her most diverse and interesting work to date with Kila Kila Kila.
Yoshimi began her music career in 1986 playing drums in the band UFO or Die, which also features Eye of the Boredoms. That same year she joined revolutionary noisepop experimentalists Boredoms, in which she still plays drums, trumpet, keyboard and sings. In the early nineties she became the drummer in Kim Gordon's Free Kitten, and released three Yoshimi solo 7" singles on Ecstatic Peace. More info + download ooioo - eine soda
"As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know."

The Wire 236: Rapper and producer Brendon Whitney (aka Alias) is a member of California's prolific indie HipHop collective, Anticon, which has amassed an impressive catalogue of work over the past five years. The predominantly instrumental "Beginagain" is taken from his third solo album, Muted (Anticon), and sees Whitney developing a strain of electronica reminiscent of Boards Of Canada and early Aphex Twin, albeit one underpinned by those foggy, downtempo beats familiar from so many Anticon releases.More info and 3 mp3 downloads
In the 1970s, Tom Waits combined a lyrical focus on desperate, lowlife characters with a persona that seemed to embody the same lifestyle, which he sang about in a raspy, gravelly voice. From the '80s on, his work became increasingly theatrical as he moved into acting and composing. Growing up in Southern California, Waits attracted the attention of manager Herb Cohen, who also handled Frank Zappa, and was signed by him at the beginning of the 1970s, resulting in the material later released as The Early Years and The Early Years, Vol. 2. His formal recording debut came with Closing Time (1973) on Asylum Records, an album that contained "Ol' 55," which was covered by labelmates the Eagles for their On the Border album. More
A loose experimental project formed in 1978 by Steven Stapleton, Nurse With Wound has explored abstract music -- influenced by Krautrock, freewheeling jazz improvisation, and Throbbing Gristle but including a heavy debt to surrealists Dali and Lautréamont -- with an overpowering release schedule of limited-edition albums and EPs.

Zoomer by Schneider TM May be the year's most surprising pure pop pleasure--precisely because it's nothing like you'd expect a pop album to be. THE WIRE #224, p.61
SCHNEIDER TM is a one-man project out of nowhere, Germany. Coming from a Germanic background, this man and his music are not a million miles away from the bleeps-and-bloops-happiness of his fellow countrymen Mouse on Mars.
What makes Schneider’s record so special is that he doesn’t just stop at the bleeps and bloops, he dives headfirst into rattles, snaps, crackles and also occasional stumbles straight into not so straight pop. His music is directly and indirectly inspired by Velvet Underground, TV's Magum, cheap champagne, drumming in a rock band for several years and living in the countryside. More
