Speed Neighboring: One Way To Repel The Attack On Sharing

Black Cab - Rescue (live at 3RRR Aug 2009)

Call Signs track 'Rescue' from the 2009 Radio 3RRR live to air we did on Karen Leng's excellent, world famous Kinky Afro show. We've mixed these for the bonus disk of the US release of Call Signs coming out in the US in May on Parasol/Hidden Agenda. Features Rich Andrew on drums, Anthony Paine on bass, Alex Jarvis on guitar, Steve Law on weird electronics, Coates on vox and James Lee on lead guitar (pre-order it here http://www.parasol.com/index.php/artists/black-cab)
This was a pretty frenetic version, amped up by the almost no-show of Steve Law who's car broke down that arvo on a major highway. He made it with seconds to spare just as the red 'on air' light flicked on and 300 punters in the performance space looked on...

Can to Release Box Set of Unreleased Material

A collection of previously unreleased recordings from the seminal krautrock band Can will be released via Mute on June 19 in the U.S. and June 18 in Europe. The Lost Tapes is a 3xCD box set of studio and live recordings as well as soundtrack works for films that never saw release. Check out the opening cut, "Millionenspiel".
The box set was compiled from over 30 hours of music found at Can's studio in Weilerswist, Germany, as the space was disassembled and moved to the German Rock N Pop Museum in Gronau, Germany. The tracks range from 1968-1977 and feature Holger Czukay (bass), Michael Karoli (guitar), Jaki Liebezeit (drums), Irmin Schmidt (keyboards), and vocals by both Malcolm Mooney and Damo Suzuki.
The release was curated by Schmidt and Mute's Daniel Miller, and compiled by Schmidt and collaborator Jono Podmore, who also edited the collection.
An event celebrating Can's Lost Tapes will take place on April 17 at the New York venue Le Poisson Rouge, at which Schmidt and Podmore will perform and discuss material from the release.

Ten thousand Australians face web blackout

[...]The malicious software, or malware, changes a user's Domain Name System (DNS) settings on their computer, diverting all web requests through servers the FBI seized in November but has been temporarily maintaining to ensure internet services were not disrupted. This maintenance will finish on July 9, meaning computers still infected will face internet troubles...

Hmmm!!!
