April 27th, 2008Book Theives
April 13th, 2008Some wackjobs stole some of the Thrity Six Dollars Mini Books and some of Nathan’s Neti Project books. I bet it was drunk chicks who were pretending to be stupid but fully knew in the back of their minds thatthey were just theives, or it was dudes wearing backpacks, or it was dudes in Button-Up shirts. I guess I have to keep books outta sight during openings.

In March of 2008, SPERM festival congregated many artists in Prague for the CONFUSE party. Starpause recorded all sets at the BLIP stage which will be podcasting from the twentygoto10 gallery blog. If you don’t know NULLSLEEP here is his SPERM write-up:
In 1999 Jeremiah Johnson cofounded 8bitpeoples - a collective of artists interested in the audio-visual capabilities of early home computers and video game consoles. During his shows he generally uses a couple of Game Boys and NES consoles hooked up to a QWERTY keyboard, letting him rock out in much the same way a conventional keyboardist would.

March 25th, 2008Yerba-Mate’s and Guarana’s primary ingredient is caffeine.
March 20th, 2008i wasn’t aware of this since i’m not a follower of energy drinks. not that this is new information, but anyways, from wikipedia:
Mate products are sometimes marketed as “caffeine-free” alternatives to coffee and tea, and said to have fewer negative effects. This is often based on a claim that the primary active xanthine in mate is “mateine”, erroneously said to be a stereoisomer of caffeine. As it is not chemically possible for caffeine to have a stereoisomer, this claim is false. “Mateine” is an official synonym of caffeine in the chemical databases.
According to the Biological Magnetic Resonance Data Bank, when guaranine is defined as only the caffeine chemical in guarana, it is identical to the caffeine chemical derived from other sources, for example coffee, tea, and mate. Guaranine, theine, and mateine are all synonyms for caffeine when the definitions of those words include none of the properties and chemicals of their host plants except the chemical caffeine. Natural sources of caffeine contain widely varying mixtures of xanthine alkaloids other than caffeine, including the cardiac stimulants theophylline and theobromine and other substances such as polyphenols which can form insoluble complexes with caffeine.

March 16th, 2008starPause recently ran off to prauge to rock some VICEAUDIO soundsystem at CONFUSE party which was part of SPERM festival. he recorded all the artists performing on the BLIP stage there and we will be podcasting each performance in the comming weeks.
the first installment is the last performer of the night: 1a2v1 who performed in candy-culture full-color three-dee party-vibe. the SPERM festival flier has some nice words:
New czech project brings new life to local club environment: underground 8-bit sounds by Jaro Haro are met by fitting like a glove visuals by VJ Kolouch creating perfect lo-fi experience.
