I was interviewed for nerdarts.com and titled geek of the week.

Hey, public service radio P3! Next time you use my music in your stupid comedy programs, could you please give me credit for my work? Atleast when people e-mail you and ask who made the music. Ok? Ni e la för gooa, era svin.

And if rumours are true, that goes for MTV in Holland too. Varken. Looks like another jackpot for the über-organisations in the copyright/patent legal system, because I’m tired. Enjoy this instead:

Kembrew McLeod (academic intellectual property critic prankster)
Copyshop (“hey, can they really sell that?”)
Piratebay (“hey, can they really provide that?”)
Artliberated (liberate it now)
sCrAmBlEd?HaCkZ! (who’s got the copyright now, bitch?)
Polotalk (jossystem are my heroes in crime)

I made a (pretty stupid) interview for the dutch TV-channel Zooi, after my show in Rotterdam. It was aired on February 2 and you can check it out in real media. Then there was one in Spain in October last year aswell on Cuatrosfera, see the youtube-clip here. (my spanish is perfect!)

This week, Goto80 and Entter featuring Jeremy have an artist residence at Avec La Gare just outside of Marseille. Follow the progress here and dont miss the workshops and gigs on Saturday!

..and I will try to get this blog working properly as soon as possible!

I was mentioned in an article in the italian magazine Freakout. Mad props for using the picture from the retarded Sunwatch’99 sessions!

An old demoscener wrote some Swedish articles about C64-music as a university project. (Read here).

(my translation) “There’s a couple of bands that perform C64-songs with traditional instruments live. SID80′s, Press play on tape, Goto80, The C64 mafia and the acapella group Visa Röster are some of the names.” Yikes. C64-remixing isn’t really my thing, eventhough it has happened once or twice or thrice or thrhurrhhaiejg.

Me and Entter made two shows in Spain. The first one in Barcelona was tight, über-sweaty and almost-fainting style, together with AMB. Totally perfect! The second one was in a mega mighty dance club in the south party area of Alicante. Beside artists like ADA and DAT Politics and more people, I tried to introduce chip music to loved up Spanish techno heads. A tough job, but someone’s gotta do it! Doing a cover of Chimo Bayo always helps though. I did it twice in Alicante.

And here’s me signing autographs for Mario in Yes,Robot before going to the venue to be surprised by the TV-team to do this TV-interview.

I went to Tallinn to play at the Plektrum festival. First stop was Stockholm, visiting my brother and good ol’ Role Model. We had good times with expensive booze, Mark Knopfler, Tomas Ledin and Mikael Rickfors. I managed to fuck up my jacket by leaning against a newly painted wall though…

…which was fun at first, but I realised that leaning against a wall had made me all trendy! Which was quite disturbing. And the fact that it was disturbing, was also disturbing! I don’t want to care about my clothes, but hey – I don’t wanna look trendy either. Grrrr….

Anyway, I hoped that my new trendy look would help me get better treatment at the airport. But no. Everyone were assholes as usual. But I got to Tallinn safely (almost missed the plane, as usual), met up with Risto and after some happy confusion also C-men, Gijs Gieskes and Miniroc. I made an interview for Radio 2 aswell with my mad media skillz. Performances and workshops were great (except for my confusing mongo C64-”workshop”), and it was good to see Huoratron play for the first time. He didn’t let me down! We hung around at the Biker’s Club too, which I can recommend… Oh, and when I got back from the hotel I met a group of trashy looking boys with short hair, greeting me with ‘Heil Hitler’. Hmmm, well, naah…. I just went to sleep.

Describing yourself as an eclectic idiot savant in chip music is not ok on Wikipedia. (in swedish)
