Brasilian Girls - LIVE 14. September @ fluc
Ist "Talk To La Bomb", das zweite Album des New Yorker Quartetts Brazilian Girls, der Soundtrack zum Weltuntergang oder die Platte, die die Errettung des Planeten einleiten wird? Auf ihrem Zweitwerk präsentieren sich die Brazilian Girls mit polyglotten Rhythmen, Klängen und Texten sowie der mitreißenden Energie einer in Ekstase geratenen Menschenmenge. Diese Menschenmenge ist ein Zusammenspiel der bunt herausgeputzten und ausgelassen feiernden Scharen beim Karneval in Rio und in Panik geratenen Bewohner von Tokio, die vor dem herannahenden Godzilla fliehen. Es spielt keine Rolle. "Talk To La Bomb" destilliert diese wogende Energie - sämtlicher Kulturen und sämtlicher Stimmungen - in ein einzelnes, dynamisches Album.

The band has described their sound as "melting pop." None of the members are actually from Brazil and the only female member is lead singer Sabina Sciubba.

The 20 Greatest Bootlegs Of All-Time
The term ‘bootlegging’ orignally referred to moonshine whiskey that was made and sold during prohibition, but the act of copying the artistic works of others goes back to Shakespearean times. In fact, if it weren’t for actors smuggling scripts, and audience members transcribing lines (the renaissance equivalent of wearing a mic into a concert) many of Shakespeare’s plays wouldn’t have survived to modern times.
In 1966 some enterprising souls marketed a set of alternate recordings by Bob Dylan under the title Great White Wonder. These records marked the first rock bootlegs (live opera, classical, jazz and folk had been recorded for years) and started a sensation that persists to this day.

Manu Chao thinks locally but inspires globally
THERE'S a word that comes up more than any other in a conversation with Manu Chao, and it's not one you'd imagine is foremost on the mind of a global music superstar: neighborhood.
Neighborhoods are Chao's nerve center, the source of information and the center of power. It's where reggae kids mixed it up with punk kids in the squats of suburban Paris. It's where he plays, to this day, in little Barcelona taverns, because when it comes to road-testing new songs, you can't lie to a bartender. And the neighborhood, according to the left-leaning, politically outspoken musician, is where the revolution begins:
"We want a better world, and the solution is thousands and thousands and thousands of homemade revolutions. Everybody can change his mind and his neighborhood."

RFID implants linked to animal tumors
VeriChip -- and other vendors -- have been busily implanting radio-frequency ID (RFID) chips in human and animal subjects ever since the FDA approved the process. But a series of studies conducted from 1996-2006 noted a high incidence of dangerous tumors arising at the sites of RFID implants -- something the FDA apparently did not consider when it approved the procedure.

Tor at heart of embassy passwords leak
Tor advertises itself as a means for people and groups to improve their privacy. And when used properly, the distributed, anonymous network does just that. But a Swedish security consultant has used the very same system to gain access to login credentials for a thousand or so individual email addresses, including those of at least 100 accounts belonging to foreign embassies.
Dan Egerstad, who made waves last week posting the login details to embassies belonging to Iran, India, Japan and Russia, among others, has finally identified how he got access to the information.

New Bin Laden Video Is Fake
The new September 11 Bin Laden video (in which he waxes eloquent about various infidel troubles like subprime mortgages and high taxes -- all curable by conversion to Islam, apparently) is being labeled a fake. In the video, Bin Laden appears to make numerous references to recent events. But in each case, the video stops. "Live" video with voice synced to video omits recent events and could have been made years ago. In some section of the tapes, cuts are visible.
