npr.org: "Robert Moog is the inventor of the Moog synthesizer, an electronic keyboard that makes unworldly sounding electronic music. He invented it in 1963. Also, Moog didn't invent the theremin, but he manufactures this early electronic instrument. A Russian invented it 70 years ago, and it's been used on many science-fiction films because of its eerie, wavering tones. The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences has just honored Moog with the technical Grammy award for Lifetime Achievement. This interview originally aired on Feb. 28, 2000" Listen here
Vinyl on Demand is a label for noise- electronic- industrial- and avantgarde music
signandsight.com: "Maier collects tapes and cassettes of obscure music from the 1970s and 1980s, particularly German music, unreleased musical sketches from the likes of Blixa Bargeld or Gabi Delgado. For Maier "this is material whose influence on today's experimental music cannot be overestimated. This is where everything comes from, even techno, this is the real source of contemporary electronic music. Frank Maier researches pop culture that has not been archived elsewhere. Basically he is dealing with a terra incognita, material that's been forgotten or repressed, the history of its own history. 'In a time when pop music is mainly quoting itself, ' he says, 'the new is to be found in the discovery of the old.' That's why he's been archiving and digitalising his albums and documents. He's archived 100,000 albums on his website, where you can find information on Maier's experience as an extreme collector and on the value of rare albums." In addition, he's founded his own label: Vinyl on Demand."

slashdot.org : "Because there is already a plethora of information about BitTorrent, this interview takes a different approach and focuses entirely on Cohen's Asperger's Syndrome. In addition to being interesting to anyone interested in BitTorrent, Cohen's story is extremely inspirational to those of us who do have Asperger's, and will probably be so even to those without Asperger's Syndrome."

Warum rebellieren wir nicht gegen das Copyright?
Gespräch mit Lawrence Lessig
Das derzeit gültige Copyright treibt schon seltsame Blüten: Während man seit Jahrhunderten beliebig und frei aus Texten zitieren darf, macht man sich heute sofort strafbar, wenn man auch nur eine Sekunde Filmmaterial ohne Erlaubnis des Urhebers benutzt. Eltern müssen Angst haben, dass ihre Kinder ein Micky-Maus-Bild auf ihre Homepage packen - auch das verstößt gegen geltendes Recht. Einer der vehementesten Kritiker an dieser Rechtssituation ist Lawrence Lessig, Professor für Jura an der Stanford Universität und Vorstandsmitglied der Free Software Foundation. Golem.de sprach mit ihm am Rande der Konferenz Wizards of OS 3 über seinen Kampf gegen das Copyright und sein neues Buch Free Culture.

Indeed, lots of interesting interviews on thiswebsite. I wonder if I can find the time to read them. Here are a few examples:

"In der industrialisierten Medienwelt ist das Interview zur Klischee-Maschine geworden. Das nervt und ist kontraproduktiv. Lasst die Leute doch einfach reden!" Mit diesen Worten leitet Peter Lau seine aktuelle, für die Zeitschrift brand eins verfasste Kultur-Kolumne ein.
Jedem der dies ebenso sieht, sei die zweimonatlich erscheinende Zeitschrift alert empfohlen. Die aktuelle Ausgabe widmet sich Schwerpunktmäsig Musikern. Zu Wort kommen unter anderem Peaches und Pole.
Seit nunmehr über fünf Jahren hat sich die in Berlin ansässige Zeitschrift De:Bug zu einem unverzichtbaren und einzigartigen Print-Medium nicht nur für Elektronische Musik entwickelt. Einst aus der noch warmen Asche des großen Neunziger-Jahre-Frontpage-Techno-Booms erwachsen, ist De:Bug heute ein strahlendes Beispiel für ein strukturelles und ökonomisches Überleben in den kleinen und großen Nischen Deutschlands, für die inhaltliche und ästhetische Durchsetzbarkeit visonärer und idealistischer Ideen; ein Magazin, das immer noch Fanzine-Geist atmet und doch längst über viele Tellerränder hinweg emotional und technisch mitten im 21. Jahrhundert steht. Ein E-Mail-Gespräch mit dem De:Bug-Gründer, Redakteur und Geschäftsführer Sascha Kösch.[Hier geht's zum Rest]
