Bye Bye Democracy
June 30, 2011

Yesterday's plan in Greece was straightforward: let the police loose outside the parliament so that we can continue to loot inside it. And it seemed to work as the new austerity measures were overwhelmingly voted by the government party. So who cares if we don't have democracy anymore...the only thing that matters is that those in power remain in power. It's been this way for years and yet people continued to vote in favor of them. I guess it's time for them to understand (the bitter way) th...

Finally, after a month or so we came around to opening our Albums section of our site. The idea is pretty simple; here we will post/stream some of our favorite albums through the help of GrooveShark. These are albums we personally recommend, so give them a listen and if you like them as much as we did then don't hesitate to support the artist and buy the album. We've already posted a few albums, but more are coming soon. Enjoy!

The Israeli troops attacked the convoy around 75 miles off the coast of Israel and Gaza, in international waters and opened fire with real ammunition. Yet another brutal attack of Isra...

Feck off DMCA

I've been away for a couple of days due to sickness, but it seems that was the perfect timing from DMCA's point to start sending me notices. I've received a couple in the past but never two in a row in just two days. But wait, is it simply about the music I posted? (which of' course is not even hosted by me). Is it a coincidence that both notices were about the two albums I simply said they sucked big time? Isn't it very convenient that they only complaint about my reviews regarding the hopeless...

Belated as ever, I just found this site which is inspired by the Take Away Shows series of LaBlogotheque. It is called Athens Soundies [hey hey...copyright issues? :-)] and features lo-fi videos from indie bands. It is pretty cool so check it out. I've chosen two videos for you, one from the amazing Warpaint and another from Acrylics. Enjoy!

So they removed my video from Youtube and deleted my post...but what the heck...here's the official one (although it's been aired a couple of weeks now).PS. It's insteresting how many more songs are titled Papillon. Take for example The Airborne Toxic Event (which is quite known actually).PS2. However, the more rare one is this one from Rilo Kiley, taken from their debut The Initial Friend E.P back in 1999. Now this is a real charm!
