Korea's next best export?
@idiotape @SeoulEM @edbangerrecords #11111101 #semf
In a country where the domineering president controls the media and the people are force-fed mass produced commercial bullshit for music (I am talking about the Republic of Korea [South Korea] and surprisingly not it's northern cousin [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] although there are striking similarities at times), it's great to see some talented musical acts actually getting noticed and god forbid pulling a reasonable audience/fan base.
I speak of Idiotape (이디오테잎), a Seoul based band who have recently (through VU entertainment) been pulling large crowds supporting huge artists with their blend of high-voltage, electronic shoegaze that gets the kids jumping. I first saw/discovered Idiotape at the 2010 Global Gathering, shortly after my arrival in Korea. On new years eve I watched them open for none other than Ed Banger heavyweights Feadz and SebastiAn. While their set was cut short due to a timing issue, they still got everyone warmed up for what was a wild evening. Earlier in the year, again at GGK, they packed the Blue Spirit stage to capacity and shattered the minds of crazed Koreans and foreigners alike. And as I prepare for to witness them bust out tunes off their very cool record 11111101 this weekend at the Seoul Electronic Music Festival (SEMF), supporting some french guys called Justice and this other little known group, Crystal Castles or palaces or forts or something, I am confident that they will again be as tight and professional as they have been on all previous occasions, delivering a sound that is unique in a land where the soundscape is rigorously dictated by the way the singer's look rather than sound.
This is a Korean band truly worth of international exposure. I hope that the groups they've played with recently will be testament to their quality and they will grow to some foreign acclaim.
If you're in Korea and want to enjoy a day/night of debauchery and splendid raging, get all the info and a ticket to SEMF here. Get Idiotape's record on iTunes here. You won't regret either purchase.

These are cool. Buy them here.

How Kodak Died.
@Kodak @Kodak_AU #Film #RIP #Bankrupt #Kodak
What a sad day.
Kodak announced over night that they would be filing for bankruptcy in the coming weeks if they fail to sell off their patents (worth in excess of US$2billion) or convince some rich dudes that film will bounce back and get a US$1billion bail out.
This just proves what we all expected - the desperate attempts that Kodak was making to put to bed the rumours that they were in dire straights was just a last ditch effort to prevent shareholders from jumping ship.
Castle Awesome reported on Kodaks defiance and blind optimism in the face of a corporate apocalypse, back in November of last year (HERE) - where Kim Snyder, Vice President of Kodak denied stories of a struggling century old film company by reassuring people that they weren't going anywhere.
There's not much more to say here, this horrible situation speaks for itself.
Our heritage, and still the undeniable king of image accusation will soon be laying on the cutting room floor. Replaced by CMOS CCDs, HDDs & SSDs.
This is how film dies. We're watching it happen right before our eyes.
Of course, all of this comes straight off the back of film distributers, major studios & cinemas announcing that they had put aside their long standing differences regarding an-across-the-board migration to digital cinema and will proceed with plans to phase out distribution of motion pictures on 35mm film and will adopt a standardised digital projection system (of which Christie, IMAX & Kodak are involved) which will consist of distributers providing cinemas with a HDD containing a 2K or 4K copy of the film - and professional projectionists plugging in the hard drive, turning on the projector & pressing play.
It's all a bit insulting.

@Brodinski @gesaffelstein
Brodinski has remixed his Bromance partner's track 'Viol'.
Is this the first time someone has done a decent remix of the Gesaffelmaster? I'm going to have to say yes.
