It took a while, but I finally edited my footage for the Pole concert from October 3, 2003:

Pole Live at Back Booth on October 3, 2003

The funny thing was that we didn't even know about the show until we drove up there (from Gainesville) that night. We were intending on making it out to the Midget Wrestling match that The Back Booth was advertising (but they forgot to update their website, saying it had been cancelled) for that same night!

I'm glad we went. This show is what made me aware of the Orlando electronic music scene, and it's the first time I met Ian Monroe.

Four Tet recently played an amazing show at the Social here in Orlando. Using two laptops, a mixer, some sort of midi controller, he took the Orlando community on a rolicking tour through his entire catalogue, including playing an encore version of Glasshead that blew me away.

To keep that feeling alive, ezRPM has uploaded a torrent of 2 of his previous live sets, and a DJ Mix by Four Tet.

You will need a Bit Torrent client in order to download it. ezRPM suggest the cross platform program: Azureus.

Windows Client: download
Mac OS X Client: download

After you install the client for your system, Download The Torrent file: Four Tet Live, double click it and Azureus should automatically launch, ask you were to store the downloaded folder and mp3s, and then start downloading it.

Once it's finished downloading, Azureus will continue seeding the file for others to download it as well. (Bit Torrent uses a 'swarm' approach to downloading with each user downloading the files uploads a part of it for the others to download it).

Enjoy!

Warp just announced that the new Borads of Canda album will be out soon, probably around October or there-abouts. This is the first studio album since Geogaddi, which was released in 2002. The announcement promised that the new album will be a return to classic BoC goodness, with their latest remixes (Beck, cLOUDDEAD, Boom Bip) hinting any further direction thier sound has taken.

No official word has been posted on their site yet: Offical word was posted on their site, this weekend: www.music70.com

Welcome out of the bunker, boys. ezRPM is waiting with baited breath for this one.





I've had a promo of the album for a couple weeks, and while there are hints of geogaddi, the new album is over all more cohesive and warmer than that album by far. they even have an autechre moment or two of broken glitch. however, the synth tones are deep and long, and the beats are the standard BoC trip hop fare, except they're more ghostly and less pronouced than say on Music has the right...

i think most people that were turned off by geogaddi (and who wasn't ;) will have a renewed sense of faith in BoC by the Campfire Headphase.

They're not breaking new ground, but the path they're taken has gotten more mature, and more blissful none the less.

After the RAVE Act: Protecting the Electronic Music Community
Wednesday, August 17, 2005

The Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act, more commonly known as the RAVE Act, became law in 2003. At the time, its declared purpose was to target promoters who deliberately opened establishments for the purpose of selling or promoting drugs. (Earlier versions of the legislation, successfully fought by the Alliance and other groups, targeted promoters and owners of music venues much more broadly).

But is the law being used the way it was intended? There are around 80-100 cases court cases each year brought using the RAVE Act. Because the law can be used against establishments other than electronic music venues - it was originally conceived as a statute to deal with "crack houses" - it is unclear how many of these cases affect the electronic music community.

To answer that question, the Alliance has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Justice Department asking for any documents that reference the RAVE Act with respect to electronic music events. The Alliance intends to look at several factors: who is being targeted - patrons, venue owners, or promoters; why the cases are brought; and how often these cases are dismissed. That information will then go into a report assessing whether prosecutors are abusing the law or upholding the civil liberties of music fans.
