A musician-friend of mine just released an album. I paid my 15€ for it, and it is a good album with brilliant music. What got me down today was that I found out that it had been downloaded illegally from the internet. I am NOT opposing the medium to bring the band closer to people nor the possibility of listening, but since they're not getting anything out of it, after paying the expensive studio-time etc., it's ever so hard to make a buck out of this. And trust me, lots of hard work, tears, sweat and elbow grease is required in this line of work.
I heard that Lady GaGa, after hitting one million downloads on Spotify, got a total of some 15 bucks out of it. LOL!!!! Now, I don't have a planetarium-hat nor some super-freaky shoes and whatnot, penises hanging out (?), so I guess it's kind of a given to admit that that is not a way sufficient enough to feed all the musicians..
Has anyone thought that if you try to make a living out of music, you kinda need the money.. If you're a dentist you wouldn't even consider operating on the patient if they had no money, so what's the difference here? This is our expertise and our way to clear the air, give soul-food, start commotion and so on. Furthermore, if an artist has to work in some shitty office for 40 hours per week to be able to pay rent for example, I'd expect him to be very tired at the end of the week, when you'd be supposed to go throw a gig or to try to drag one single creative thought from your brain to make a song. True, that creativity is a state of mind, but it's not ON all the time for gods sake and, I'd bet my left hand that the office-job will kill the creation in the artist within half a year.
In a civilized and humane world you ought to be able to choose your vocation, since we're not all suited for the same job as the other. Like, some of us prefer red and others blue.
Still, if people will go see live-shows, that'd be terrific. Now, there's a small opportunity to make some money there, but that alone, will never pay the whole band's phonebills and all. Tough luck, I tells ya. Movin' on.

This is a new percussive instrument entitled "A Day at the Grave of Karl Marx". It is an old film canister. It is good.
Junkus Minor - Nothing But Lies. This is track five of our album Inertia. Releasedate is 25.5.2010
The way to pack an Opel Astra with only the necessary instruments, such as the boot and a blade for a circular wood saw.
I’m delighted by ubercompilations of awesome. Justice’s “DVNO” was an unexpected tribute to so many animated ad titles. Along the same vein but on a different line, I’d like to see a music video featuring homages to the many demoscene loaders/scrollers/cracktros that graced the 80s and thrived...
I've been thinking about this for a while now! If there is anyone interested in making a video with us featuring demo / cracktro / intro - style, please contact us! We will provide fame and glory, gold and diamonds!

So you made these "tests" just to be sure, eh?

"This piece of work is a bird's eye view of the history by scaling down a month length of time into one second. No letter is used for equal messaging to all viewers without language barrier. The blinking light, sound and the numbers on the world map show when, where and how many experiments each country have conducted. I created this work for the means of an interface to the people who are yet to know of the extremely grave, but present problem of the world."
