UPDATED: Bootleg of the show in mp3s!!

Fresh feelings of the yesterday’s slam poetry final round.
Beware of the intellectuals! Got some? Slam ‘em.

Monolectics!

Slam poetry is a poetry contest, as you might have realised… the aim is both recitation and performance. The authors are trying to say something, but they also care for the way they do it, which can involve into great gigs, but also a bit thick shows full of swearing and vituperation which is rather boring.

The origin gets back to the Get Me High Lounge in Chicago 1984, where Marc Smith gave birth to this genre. In the nineties, slam poetry vastly spread around the US and even more over the world. Nowadays there is remarkable scene in Germany, Austria, Nepal, the Netherlands, UK and many other countries.

Just becoming popular

The first contest in Czech Republic dates to the year 2003. Yesterday’s attendance at Fléda, Brno was quite rich as well as reactions of audience. Two rounds of ten contestants had kinda logarithmic mood - first round upward-sloping, another one downward (reversed order of the contestants), since the impression of the authors was widespread across the scale of juiciness. Some of them shot the spirits to the stars, like the winner Vladimír Vacátko, whose holler-performance was quite amusing, refreshing and his ecstasy credible.

Ever heard of Piratbyrån? What about The Pirate Bay? Read!

Presentation of the think-and-speak section of this non-organization (Rasmus Fleischer, Magnus Eriksson and Johan Allgoth) took part on Friday the 13th October, as a part of the Brno ZOOM 2006 Fest. They introduced their thoughts, ideas and movements leading towards the things that happend on May 31, 2006 (Police Raid, Demonstrations, New look at copyrighting, filesharing and applying law in the cyber-reality), then the shot called Steal This Film was on schedule. I was really gaping at it with open mouth and just shaking head… These are the things you never start thinking of (in Czech Republic) and this is one of the facts, that makes Sweden so enviable.

Magnus says:

Piratbyrån is a cluster with fuzzy borders, a network consisting of a number of connected humans and machines; artists, hackers, activists, servers, routers and software, each approaching the question of copyright in its own manner. We started three years ago with the idea of making som kind of project about piracy, copyright, copying, peer2peer networks since we had a feeling this would produce large and intresting conflicts in our contemporary culture. And this wide range of perspective from which we have approached these issues have made it a fruitful learning process for everyone involved. Not just communicating an idea but exploring, learning and developing ideas and phenomena giving us a better understanding of what lies at the bottom of the contemporary copyfight.

After hours of conversation with these guys and actually realising, that this encounter was merely coincidental and only a few people knew about this topic (neither discussed it in public), I wanted to do something about it - at least to gather any possible information about Czech look at the copyrights in comparison to Swedish liberal point of view, maybe to start a discussion about this upcoming topic. People did not even THINK this subject could be so massively supported, but in Sweden this definitelly happened.

I am still patching up my fragmentary opinions and viewpoints so WAIT FOR UPDATE!

Goody goody, well.. some schoolwork again. A bit of avantgarde in type design — an alphabet called TYPE². Autumn coming… have some jocose delight!

Creating book series is hardly a simple thing. The problem is, that if you screw it up, you don’t screw only artwork only, you’ll screw the whole book, which is written by much respectable master. Spoiling a book-jacket is a way to hell.

I’ve just added “ihate.biz but ilove.music” section to the sidebar so the zillions of fans could easily see what I am flipping over at the moment. Anyway, “read my blog” can now be used even as the answer for awkward what-kinda-music-you-like questions.

Four points from math. Four f*cking points and I could have been a Bachelor! Damn this state exams!

Why it is really common that the state exam is just a formality after years of hard studies, but at our contrarywise faculty the percentage of the students who get ahead moves from 30 to 60 per cent? This term it was just 52%! What a mock!

Huh. I had to publish it, sorry for that many exclamation marks… I hope I’ll fetch through it in February.

Risible Towel day to everyone!

Tomorrow, I am going to be 22. You can send or leave a message and pretend you did remember.

Let’s have some music! Cales hasn’t been in concert since summer 2005, therefore we’ve gone really hungry for some.

Together with Törr, Asgard, Amon and Torment (risible! - notice, that an inadequate number of metal bands’ names start with “A” or “T”) we took part at the Metal Swamp no. 23 in Svatoboj, Brno.
