Health care for poor children is unfair.

By UncategorizedNo Comments

there’s a program called ‘schip’, which provides health care to poor children.

it’s a popular program, and it works well. it has the support of a majority of governors, health care providers, democrats, and moderate republicans.

it passed a vote in the house today, but conservative republicans voted against it and president bush is threatening to veto it.

let’s remember: this is a program that provides health care to poor children.
it’s popular and it was crafted by democrats and moderate republicans.

why is bush going to veto this bill?

and why are right wing republicans against it?

a big reason is that in order to pay for the bill there’s an increase in the tax on cigarettes.

and the president and the right wing republicans believe that this is unfair to tobacco companies.

i’m not kidding.

so the president and the right wing republicans are against a bill that provides health care to poor children because they believe it’s unfair to tobacco companies.

they also believe it’s too expensive.

but to put it in perspective: one year of this health care program costs as much as running the war in iraq for 30 days.

on Fun. Do something fun, preferably something that makes
someone else feel good too. Take your loved one to the movies.
Surprise her or him by cleaning the flat. Go meet your

charity. Volunteer to help.

Vinyl digitalizing: Workflow

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Thanks for the great comments about vinyl digitalizing. Hopefully they’ve been as helpful for other digitalizers as they’ve been to me. With the help of the almighty Google and the opinions shared, I’ve finally reached a certain routin – or workflow – with the digitalizing process. It means, by following a simple step-by-step workflow the speed and quality of digitalizing has improved a lot.

The following vinyl digitalizing method is done with Ableton Live, iTunes and Audacity.

Misc news from the scanner’s lair

By MainNo Comments

Suosikki4-1985-GrandmasterFlash@Vanha-728468

I just realized it’s been one year since I joined Misc. Management team. It’s been an incredible year with Peled brothers and the artists we support (and who support us :). Even though the year has passed unbelievably fast, it’s been full of good moments – and hard work. Big thanks for everyone making this possible.

At the moment we are working on DJ Orkidea’s album release tour, starting early next year. I’s going to be a tour to remember, loads of new add-ons, fresh, trendy & cool supporters, interesting artists and venues. In addition to the tour, I’m also looking forward to Misc revealing the new foreign artist on the roster. He’s cool, classic and very oldskool. For the upcoming updates, see www.misc.fi – and while waiting, download a couple of mixes, there are some new ones around.

The flyer scanning project is over and it was time to grab some new stuff to scan. Not that I particularly love scanning, but it’s more or less cool to digitalize part of the electronic music history in Finland. I got Orkidea’s techno article collection and scanned over 150 news articles and old magazine advertisements starting from 1993. They are just awesome – the grand old men of techno looking like school boys, talking very serious about this new thing called techno music and guys like Sam Inkinen ranting about machines and techno philosophy. They’ll be published on Orkidea’s site first and then right here. While waiting, check the online Flyer Collection which just got bigger and exceeded the limit of 1600 flyers.

P.S. The article up there is a story of Grandmaster Flash visiting Finland back in 1985. The original story was released in Suosikki magazine. Mad, isn’t it? :) Found the article from DJ Anonymous’ blog.

Flyer gallery update

By MainNo Comments

Destroit4, 1992, front

Shortly in English:
Huge amount of Finnish flyers now online, nearly 2 gigabytes of new material. See them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/juska/sets/807684/

Ja sitten suomeksi:
Uploadasin loput DJ Orkidean flyerikokoelmasta skannatuista flyereistä myös omalle Flickr-tililleni. Yhteensä Flickrissä on edellämainituista ja omista flyereistä skannattuna reilut 1600 flyeriä eri vuosilta.

Kaikki flyerit ovat nähtävissä osoitteessa: http://www.flickr.com/photos/juska/sets/807684/

Flickr toimii loistavana hakukoneena eri vuosien, bileorganisaatioiden tai tapahtumien flaikkuja etsittäessä. Kokeile vaikka:

Flyereitä vuodelta 1997
http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=flyer%201997&w=37218967%40N00
Pussy Clubin flyereitä
http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=37218967%40N00&q=flyer+pussy&m=text
Flyereitä Rovaniemeltä
http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=37218967%40N00&q=flyer+rovaniemi&m=text

Hakuja pystyy yhdistelemään mitä erilaisimmilla tavoilla, muista vain liittää aina hakuun sana “flyer”.

Jotta hausta saataisiin vielä tehokkaampi, pyydän kaikkia teitä Flickrin käyttäjiä taggaamaan muutama flyeri aina niitä katsellessanne. Tagit löytyvät flyerisivun oikeasta laidasta ja niihin voi lisätä muunmuassa tapahtuman nimen, paikkakunnan, vuoden, tekijän, materiaalin tai muuta tietoa bileistä. Mitä useampi flyeri on tagatty hyvin, sitä enemmän hyötyä online-kokoelmasta on kaikille.

DJ Orkidean kokoelma on nähtävissä myös hänen saitillaan osoitteessa: http://www.djorkidea.com/gallery/flyers/

Orion’s Podcast: Robosonic (Diskomafia, Germany)

By Blogs & Podcasts, MainNo Comments

Shortly before releasing their new album, “Sturm & Drang” , Robosonic hits the podcast with a full-on guest mix. Full of twists and turns, from rocking electro to chilly electronica and grooving minimal, the mix also features rappers Panik Panzer & Kotti Kot and makes it rather a compilation of mash-ups than an ordinary mix. To get more information about Robosonic and the upcoming album, please visit www.robosonic.cc or their MySpace at www.myspace.com/robosonic.
