Een erg interessant artikel over het weekblad Storm is hier te vinden. Lees vooral ook de disclaimer bij die laatste pagina – het is een historische site, zonder politieke bijbedoelingen.

Moderat

Over goede techno valt niet te twisten. Klik op de afbeelding hieronder om het nummer Rusty Nails van Moderat te beluisteren – volgens sommigen hét technonummer van 2010. En laat je waardering merken door het album legaal te kopen als dit jouw muziek is.

Moderat
Moderat op Last.fm:

Moderat are Modeselektor and Apparat.

Moderat’s formation began back in 2002 in Berlin, Germany when Sascha Ring (aka Apparat) and Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary (aka Modeselektor) recorded an EP for the record label Bpitch Control (”Auf Kosten der Gesundheit”). When it came time to begin working on an album, Moderat suddenly broke up.

Meanwhile Modeselektor set a milestone in German music history with their sophomore album, Happy Birthday!, including musicians such as Puppetmastaz, Maximo Park and Thom Yorke. Amongst a slew of remixes for the likes of Thom Yorke and Björk, Modeselektor also went on to tour with Radiohead across Japan in 2008.

Apparat, on the other hand, moved forward with his album Walls in 2007 (after his collaboration with Ellen Allien on ”Orchestra of Bubbles”), taking a musical path that was more band-oriented and kept him on tour for several years running.


2008 saw the reunion of this project and the three members of Moderat went back to the studio to continue working together and finally released their 1st full album ”Moderat” in April 2009. This is a monumental ‘audio-visual declaration’ album, which includes ten videos by Berlin’s highly regarded visualists Pfadfinderei.

Call to boycott Barbie with built-in camera

Barbie... now with built-in camera, casing privacy concerns.
MATTEL'S trademark vinyl doll is getting older but she has embraced technology - Barbie's new built-in camera abilities are worrying some privacy advocates and psychologists.

The Barbie Video Girl doll has been criticised for enabling children to film themselves and others using a hidden camera in Barbie's necklace.

The doll, which retails for about $110, also has a small colour LCD screen in her back and the capacity to record 30 minutes of video, which can be transferred to a computer.

A clinical psychologist, Sally-Anne McCormack, said the doll had the potential to be used unwisely online and called on parents to boycott the product. "Essentially, it's a hidden camera," the mother of four said. "Children don't look at video clips the way that adults do, and there might be inappropriate shots that they upload onto YouTube."
