Pirate Bay's Peter Sunde interview at the Open Video Conference 2009

A week before the news was announced, Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde was interviewed at the Open Video Conference in New York City, about that lawsuit, and about their plans for the future.

Bookoos - Knife Beats

A friend passed me a cd his band made that I want to put out there. I'm not much of a reviewer so just download the album and scrobble to last.fm while you're listening!

The starting track "Makin Bacon" opens with a giddyup! beat. Coming into the bridge and chorus they inform you that they rock.
The same goes for "Banana" with more of a proto-(and)-punk flavor and it keeps going strong with the next "One Way Flight".
"Not Yet" is an instrumental jam with a touch of surf.
"Rat Candy" sounds like focused adrenaline about the unabomber.
It's a solid cd and a great representation of their live shows. Most of the songs are medium-fast with a couple slower ones but there's nothing wrong with the pace of the whole thing.
I get visions of old-school thug-life in the Southwest, like Reservoir Dogs. Stories about whiskey and guns.
