Two headlines greeted me this morning that made me laugh, both related to the against piracy in Sweden.
Pirate Bay lawyer calls for retrial after judge confirms ties to copyright groups via CBC
Peter Althin, who represented Pirate Bay spokesman Peter Sunde in the case, said Thursday he would request a retrial after Judge Tomas Norstrom confirmed Swedish Radio reports that he was a member of two copyright-protection organizations.
Norstrom acknowledged to Swedish Radio that he was a member of the Swedish Association for Copyright and sat on the board of the Swedish Association for the Protection of Industrial Property.
However, he rejected the notion that there was any conflict of interest.
“I don’t think there are any circumstances that have made me biased in this case,” Judge Norstom said.
While in related news, for the past few weeks there has been widespread coverage of the drop of internet traffic/illegal downloading following the passage of anti-piracy law IPRED in Sweden.
The reports sited a company in Sweden called Netnod that supposedly provided the stats widely shared by anti-priacy groups such as Antipiratbyran. Problem there is that Netnod is now denying they ever made such comments, or COULD even provide such stats regardless:
“We do not have any data on ‘web traffic in Sweden’ and have not made any such statements,” Netnod executive Nurani Nimpuno told Digital Music News on Wednesday.
Instead, Netnod operates six internet exchange points (IXPs) in five
cities in Sweden. An IXP is a physical hub that allows various ISPs to exchange traffic easily between their networks. In the case of Netnod, a large number of non-Swedish ISPs participate, throwing the entire analysis into disarray. “There is no way of knowing [what percentage of] Swedish internet traffic is present at the Netnod IX,” Nimpuno continued.

Def Jux announced that Aesop Rock has made a new track “Tomorrow Morning” available for a free download starting December 11, 2008. A quicktime slideshow of artwork by renowned bay area artist Jeremy Fish, lyrics and an instrumental version of the track are included in the download. This is a logical extension for the two artists – the pair first collaborated on the 2006 book and 7″ picture disk set “The Next Best Thing” and Fish created the cover art for Aesop Rock’s None Shall Pass. This release stems from Fish’s recent art opening Ghosts Of The Barbary Coast in San Francisco and is another example of hip hop and street art hegemony the duo continues to forge. Link and more information below.

HEROHILL REVIEW
herohill: “It’s obvious the band has found their stride”
herohill gave the 7″ a great review ending on this note we agree the guys deserve:
With more and more people embracing that grit of garage rock, Myles Deck and the Fuzz should be getting more attention and hopefully that will start soon.
Visit herohill for their song by song take on Police Cops.
EDIT [late Friday afternoon]: Herohill just compiled a list of 10 bands from the Maritimes they think you need to hear – Myles and the Fuzz are one of the 10. East Coast Rocks:: Ten Artists to Watch gives you the complete list.

At risk of breaking some rule of band PR I am taking a quote off a message board – a fan’s review of the Fuzz’s live show at Gobblefest in Sydney, Cape Breton [I knew & liked the guys and was open to working with them, heard the music, was down with that, saw them live and it was a done deal]:
After this it was time for Myles Deck and the Fuzz. This was what I was waiting for. Old-school garage punk played by the nicest guys in the world. I had only seen them once, over a year ago at Rocking4$ in Halifax. They were awesome then and I could only imagine they’d be better now. The did not disappoint. By the end of their set, they had won everyone over. Everyone in the bar was on their feet and dancing along, due to the band being fucking amazing. The cool thing was how all the people who were there to see a particular band were all into Myles and the crew. I can pretty much say without a doubt that this band were the best band I’ve ever seen visit this island. Charismatic and tight, the[y] won the night. If anyone missed them, they should be ashamed of themselves. Once I get some cash, I’m getting a record and a tshirt. You guys should do the same. – From a “Half-assed Partial Gobblefest Review“.

VICE/ZUNE Party on June 6th @ the Bus Stop W/Dog Day

If anyone is interested, you have to RSVP @ comingzunehali@viceland.com
In what I believe is our first contest – AQR has two passes (one prize) for the June 26th Jose Gonzalez show being brought to us by Jeemy.net aka Jeremy Macneil.
In order to be considered, simply comment below (or shy folks can email info@aquietrevolution.com) and tell us something about Mr. Macneil. Maybe he has been part of some local music fests….Perhaps as a young entrepreneur he provides other services for bands…He definitely owns a business…Maybe he has put on other shows, been mentioned in some local press…I knew he did plenty but as I think of hints (I have more but that is enough) he really has been pretty involved with making some things happen locally.
So reward Jeremy`s hard work and yourself potentially with a quick Google search on the man or a website visit and share with us what you found. Anyone that provides a valid response (what is valid you ask, what ever I say!) will be entered into the random draw and one winner will be selected.
Deadline is Friday May 30th and the winner will be announced on Monday June 2nd.
Tickets just went on sale Friday past and already a third have been sold so one way or another you should get on with securing a ticket for this show (great venue for this too!!!)

Two potentially fun/useful sites for enjoying music and music videos respectively….can’t describe them any better than they did themselves so:
Muxtape Stumbler
Welcome to Muxtape Stumbler, our sole intention is to help you discover new music by finding Muxtapes (online mixtapes) that contain bands you already know
Music TV Goodness
What’s This?
This is a mashup of Last.fm and YouTube made by Tim Bormans. It’s best described as an online music television based on your taste.
Nice! Can I try?
Sure! Just enter a last.fm username or music artist you like at the top of this page and hit the ‘Ok’ button. A few seconds and some funky coding later you will be watching your own personalized music channel. Now ain’t that sweet?
