As we mentioned before, Soup.io is powering this year's edition of the Red Ribbon Award, a creativity challenge for students aged 14–20. Any media related to the motto "HIV/Aids and human rights: Education instead of discrimination" (texts, images, videos, songs, etc.) may be submitted by May 7th for a chance to win a variety of prizes, fame and that certain sense of smugness that comes from doing something good ;)
For Soup users, submission couldn't be easier: Just tag any of your posts
redribbonaward2010, and after a quick look by a moderator from the Aidshilfe charity, it will be added to the website.We know our users are a creative bunch, so if you happen to fall in that age group and ideally are from Austria, why don't you give it a shot?

Liger last week at the Rhiz. I was a huge fan when I first heard his music, but can't say I followed his career very closely since then. But wow, his, or I should rather now say their live show has really improved since I saw Dino years ago at the Shelter with some awful screamo band as his opener: This was intense and lots of fun. They still sound utterly like Xiu Xiu to the point where we found ourselves humming melodies and quoting lines from Xiu Xiu songs during the gig, but that just increased the entertainment value... don't miss that show when he comes back to Vienna.

Similar to Mozy, only Mac-native and with storage on Amazon S3. $29 for the app + running S3 storage/bandwidth fees. Looks good!

The Sleigh Bells purposefully push their levels up way too high and fuck you if you've got a problem with that, you old person! The audio here was not recorded live (I just stuck it on a video of their live performance for extra confusion/to provide more interesting visuals than the cover of the demo record). It's really meant to sound like blown out speakers or straight from the mic of a crappy point-and-shoot camera. And I think I love that. More? More!
I'm telling you, the day will come when mainstream music will sound like Mahmoud Awad.

Budapest 2010
Just posting this here for posterity's sake, can't let Facebook be the only place it was documented at. Hackerspace opening, Failotron, Vittula, Sugar, sightseeing, etc. – a perfect weekend getaway. Of all Eastern European cities I've been to, Budapest is my favorite.

Okay, this gets me excited: Xiu Xiu and Deerhoof are going to be covering the entire Unknown Pleasures album. As in She's Lost Control. This is going to be epic. Day tickets are EUR 29 and inlcude performances by Panda Bear and Fuck Buttons. @BoySoprano

A live performance on the Yamaha RM1x drum machine/synth/sequencer, which is sitting unused in the @metalab Medienlabor. Haven't figured out a lot yet, I need to go play with it some more. You can, too! (More: electro, breaks,...)
