At last..

The rumors have been proven true. It is official!! AC/DC will play live in Athens Olympic Stadium on May 28th 2009!!!

We're happy!

Tickets will be available from February 3rd onwards. € 60/70/90 seated and €80 standing. Blame the greedy fuckers at didi music for this.

Let's hope the attendance will be greater than Manu Chao's gig last summer, so those people may understand that the greek audience is not consisted of hairy sweat-stinking tree-hugging hippies.

Anyways, that's what i call good news and i can't be bothered trash talking.

It's a long way to the top, if u wanna rock'n'roll..

Merry XXX-Mas everyone!

Transmission From London

yO! yO! yO!

I know it's been a while, but some problems with the "killing coffee drops" kept me away from my laptop. You should also add my laziness and there you got it!

Anywayz, AdMad came for a visit last week. Good timezz..

At this moment, AdMad is probably still on the plain back to Greece.

After a week of beer drinking and music listening, we are proud to present our first mix!!

We dug deep into London's record shops, bought some vinyl and finally today we mixed them.

Something like a little musical diary..

December 6th, 2008

"This is Riot Act. Our Sovereign Lord the King chargeth and commandeth all persons, being assembled, immediately to disperse themselves, and peaceably to depart to their habitations, or to their lawful business, upon the pains contained in the act made in the first year of King George, for preventing tumults and riotous assemblies. God Save the King!"

On Saturday night, the 6th of December 2008, a cop ("special guard") shot a 15-year old boy dead at Exarchia, Athens, Greece. Following the murder, thousands of people in every major Greek city participated in protests, riots and conflicts with the police. The riots are still going on in full measure.

Update

Any of you who may occasionally log on our blog, hoping there's some new album uploaded (and are fully disappointed), probably have noticed we're doing nothing and are pissed of with our laziness. 

Anyways, we don't bother and we continue to listen to lots stuff. Probably by thursday there's gonna be a mix available to download.

We're also proud to welcome 2 new members on our team, Jake and Kazama.

Untill then -and since the team's getting bigger- prepare ourselves for some more shit.

The 4 elements

Since nobody's posting anything on this blog, here's something interesting i read today... Kinda late, but i liked it:

“B-Boying is the bastard child of hip-hop, graffiti is the black sheep, DJing is the obedient child that always does what it's told. And rap is the spoiled brat who is actually the youngest of the four."

by Robert Colon aka Crazy Legs, b-boy legend and leading member of the Rock Steady Crew.

Here's a scene from the movie "Beat Street":

Here's "Age of Winters" by The Sword, from Austin,TX

I believe i may have had the opportunity to go to Texas some years ago.. Houston to be exact. But it turned out differently. She had big boobs (and the Cowboy liked to stare at them!! Niiiice!).

Get the coats out of the closet and turn your speakers to max.

"We ain't ready, to have a black President", Tupac Amaru Shakur ("I wonder if heaven got a ghetto", 1997)

Let's hope change is gonna come..

Vinyl is back!!

"When I asked RIAA spokesman Jonathan Lamy last October whether the association was seeing a spike in vinyl record sales, he confounded my expectation. "Our numbers, at least, don't really point to a resurgence," he said.

Indeed, the '05 to '06 numbers showed a decline in vinyl sales, but the association's new numbers confirm what we were driving at: vinyl records made a major comeback last year.

According to the RIAA's recently-released 2007 sales report, the American music industry sold 36.6 percent more Extended Play (EP) and Long Play (LP) records than it had in the previous year, increasing vinyl sales revenue by 46.2 percent. CD unit sales, on the other hand, declined 11.7 percent with revenue dropping 20.5 percent during the same period."

The first release of Los Dug Dug's. A mexican psychedelic band. I recently found an original copy of the album sold for €370 or something! I assume it's kinda hard to find... Nope, didn't buy it. It was kinda easy to find the mp3 format anyway. A very interesting record.

There's more to come up, after our tiny break.

Ladies and Gentlemen...

Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock will be appearing in Athens, Greece on November 2nd and 25th respectively. The tour dates can be found on both the artists' websites, even though nothing has been announced yet in Greece. Something's been said through radio stations and i guess it's a matter of a couple of weeks to be official.

The venues they will be playing makes me think that the tickets will be kinda expensive.. but you never know.

Check out for yourselves:

One Day as a Lion EP (2008 @ 256Kbps)

“A defiant affirmation of the possibilities that exist in the space between kick and snare. It’s a sonic reflection of the visceral tension between a picturesque fabricated cultural landscape, and the brutal socioeconomic realities it attempts to mask. One Day As A Lion is a recorded interaction between Zack de la Rocha and Jon Theodore from Los Angeles, California.”
