Essential reading
Heads down, reengineering the tools that run the sites.... LOOP is rocking along on a beta release, The Gathering is being upgraded and will switch over soon... no doubt Obscure will be the last to get treatment (another couple of goodies to do first) so in the meantime here's some reading...

Mayuri's Strobe
Mayuri (of Fun Poison:X fame) and cohost Oliver put on Strobe, a regular radio show at East Street... This is nuts, It's kinda new release techno, but some of the tracks they just hafta be joking! Nutty, cheesy pop remixes slapped down next to Cristian Vogel, and Oliver (who's french, but speaks great japanese) forgetting he's in Japan and lapsing back in to English...

Bass Frontiers :: Incoming
a sneek peek at what the BF kru have planned up until the end of April 2001.

Sport and Religion
Bassman Karl from Shihad was snapped wearing a Fun Poison tshirt in the live Sport + Religion video on nzmusic.com... Wicked!

DJs, Space Stations and other stuff
The DJ was covered from his neck down behind a screen so that people weren't sure who was up first....

The G
The dust hasn't quite settled (hey it was dust, not mud this time) on The Gathering this year... a couple of dozen hardy types are still onsite cleaning up the mess

Onsite
We have the task of pulling things into place and polishing them into shape before the Gatherers arrive...

Gathering Playlists
Set time and lineups are now available for the G1...

things to do

devised
about innovation .

Off to the G
Flying back home today, then to Nelson to work on The Gathering... Obscure probably won't have any updates until early January and hopefully I won't be answering email till then either. Shouts out to everyone, have a wild new years, play safe, take time to smell the flowers, be positive and don't take any shit.
