"The battle for the mind of North America will be fought in the video arena, the Videodrome"
-- Brian Oblivion, Videodrome (1983)

VIDEODROME is a one-night audio/visual overdose. An evening of live audio/video performances and playback by 20 local and international producers of A/V media works with a strong audio-visual link, visual music. Simultaneously video and music made from video edits, where picture matches sound, cut for cut, beat for beat, for a serendipitous sensory unity, a synesthesia with an emphasis on intensity, a semi-gemastaltkunst for the youtube generation.

The Video Battle is a competition of audio/visual media work, the A/V battle, the VIDEODROME. Developed from the idea of the hip hop DJ battle, artists will throw down fast and hard attempting to out flash each other with selections, cuts and mixes extreme, humorous and dangerous. Underlining the importance of competition as a driving force in the building of a relevant and volatile cultural community, artists compete for prizes and for glory and for the exaltation of the crowd. Winners are determined by a panel of experts and by the cheers and jeers of the audience/dance floor.

VIDEODROME is a collision of video art, mash-up, VJ culture, and experimental electronic music and contemporary club culture, bridging the gaps between the sofa, the club and the art gallery. An audio/visual assault striving for sensory overload in the interest of breaking down boundaries between audience and artist, sight and sound, observation and hallucination, perception and creation.

Come hear angel snares, see devil base kicks, you - are - invited!

all grain brewing

noreply@blogger.com (Skeeter) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:11:00 +0000

Some of you might have been wondering why has Duncan not placed an amen over another song in a half-assed attempt at a remix in a while. The reason being is I have been setting up my all grain brewing system. Last weekend it was the first run of the system. Pretty exciting for me. Enough so that I am blogging about it. I have been brewing for a long time, but this was the first time I did an all grain batch. Which is a huge step up from using extracts, or making country wines/cider. Here are a few photos of the day.

This is my cheap mash tun I constructed using plans from the internets. It works great. I was worried the wort would pool at the bottom unable to reach the supply line. But it worked like a charm. Thank you to them internets.

Here is a pic of the mash-in. You can see how messy I am with all the spilt grain on the floor. I cried a little when it spilt. All that potential alcohol to all my potential homies.

What an awesome colour. In case I forgot to mention, the style of beer I was brewing was Texas Tea. Har har. In actual fact I was brewing an American Imperial Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. Wooh. A mouthful indeed. American in that I used American hops (Cascade), Imperial as the OG was 1.070, Chocolate and Oatmeal as I used chocolate malt and Oats, and stout cuz it's dark. It has yet to receive a name. If you have any suggestions, email me. I love to hear them.

The very expensive pot on the stove with the wort not quite yet at a boil. Again another glimpse into my messy life. How so very titillating!

If you were curious to what is in the other carboy. It was another brew I did a few days previously. A hopped cider, which I am calling 'hopped & screwed.' hehe. I am so clever.

I promise to post an update on how well the beer turned out with many photos of the debauchery in which ensues.

NTK009 Skeeter vs Retrigger - PARANOIA/CYNICISM

noreply@blogger.com (Skeeter) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 00:25:00 +0000

Rather than spending your welfare money on meth this month, buy my new split record with Retrigger on Noizetek Records. You get to listen to great breakcore music, and if in need; you can inhale the burning plastic of the vinyl, which may get you high.

I now have copies of this on hand. I won't bother with putting a paypal link, as I know no one will email; as no one reads this blog. Email if you are interested in purchasing a copy. We can work out a price like gentlemen.

Lol. I joined last.fm to fix my music profile. Someone had edited my bio to read that I was a pop rock band from New Jersey. Not that I don't enjoy meta-humour, but this time I was compelled to set the record straight. If there is any lingering confusion, 1) I am not from New Jersey 2) I am not a pop rock band.

The other side of the side of the situation is now you can view what I listen to. Check out the random crap I listen to, add me as a friend, and all that other social networking bullshit.

Long Lost Hinder Tribute - FOUND

noreply@blogger.com (Skeeter) — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 23:37:00 +0000

hinder enjoying a pig

While cleaning up my apartment—something I never do as I am huge slob—I found the tribute album that Other People's Music, and myself made for our friend while he was away in Ecuador. 18 minutes of terrible noise/grindcore.

Hinder Tribute: Coca Tea, Yes Please and no its not that hinder, another hinder.

Parking spots on Annette & Dupont

I am really glad the city after much deliberation has decided to install many new parking spots along Annette Street and Dupont Street.

Banned From Youtube

noreply@blogger.com (Skeeter) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 20:07:00 +0000

On Friday June 26th, I uploaded a video to Youtube. In a period of drunken inspiration I quickly reposted another Youtube video with the title "EXCLUSIVE! MICHAEL JACKSON AUTOPSY." I made no changes to the video, even kept the X-files theme.

In the two weeks it was up on Youtube it garnered 8000+ views, drawing the ire of many Jackson mourners. Judging by the comments, it seemed that I had not only angered many Jackson fans, but many of which were from South America. With one comment (which was my fav), that I was a bitch and I ought to respect the gonorrhoea (in Spanish of course). Though I must question, if one is such a fan of Jackson, and mourns his passing to why are he or she searching Youtube for Jackson autopsy footage. The pungent stench of guilt, and hypocrisy is rank I do dare say. hmmmmph. yes.

This continued for the next two weeks providing me with much entertainment, until a day or so ago the video was unceremoniously removed. Flagged as inappropriate content. Youtube recommended I read the terms of service to find out how the video was inappropriate. I was unable to find the word "inappropriate," so I was unable to review what Youtube deemed appropriate, and/or inappropriate. In amusing frustration, I fired off a letter.

The letter detailed how I felt the removal of video was a violation of my freedom of speech. As you can see from the original video, there is nothing terribly objectionable about the video at all. At worst my crime was bad taste, nothing more. In conclusion to my letter, I felt if a video can be removed due to bad taste, then almost every video on Youtube ought to be removed. Every crying emo webcam sad moron on fire creationist eating a banana dog riding skateboard video. They are an insult to humanity, and I as a human are deeply offended.

Plus lets be frank. If I died of a Demerol overdose to avoid massive debts, I'd sure hope someone makes fun of me on the Internet.

Careless Whisper Remix

noreply@blogger.com (Skeeter) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 01:14:00 +0000

Careless Whisper by George Michael has always struck a deep emotional chord with me. Each time I hear that sorrow filled saxophone, I can not help but be moved. In tribute to such a beautiful song, I decided to do a remix. Switching up the song slightly to more of a dance-floor oriented track, it allows the listener to be reflexive about poor choices they have made in their life as they pogo around in a sweaty froth.
