The website of the L.A. Times has run a rather interesting story on how big sellers in today's music industry try to avoid leaks as much as possible by all kind of means, one of those being the use of aliases. Recently the album by Depeche Mode has been sent off to editorial staffs of magazines and newspapers as being the newest release from the illustre band Black Swarm. Other aliases used are Arthur Moore, Fur Trees, Barney Rubble, Pete Mitchell and Let Me See the Fish, respectively Faith Hill, Alanis Morissette, Coldplay, Big & Rich, Paul McCartney and Sigur Rós. Already described as "probably the worst kept secret of this album, so far" by the official Depeche Mode webmaster, the idea is that a CD inadvertently left on the desk of a radio executive or a journalist is less likely to be stolen and put online if it says "Black Swarm" instead of "Depeche Mode". Expect some more hot Depeche Mode news in the next hours...

[Gente Al Cuete] - Arrojaron “bala humana” sobre frontera de México y EE.UU.
De Infobae.
(AP).- David Smith padre, quien posee el récord mundial de la mayor distancia recorrida por una "bala humana" disparada desde un cañón, agregó una hazaña a su lista, al ser lanzado sobre la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos.
La hazaña es una creación del artista venezolano Javier Téllez e inicia una serie de proyectos públicos de arte en las ciudades fronterizas de San Diego y Tijuana.
Smith se introdujo en un cañón y mostró su pasaporte estadounidense, mientras unas 600 personas aplaudían.
Fue disparado desde una popular playa en Tijuana, México, y viajó unos 45 metros sobre una valla de postes negros de metal, a unos seis metros de altura. Aterrizó ileso sobre una red en el Parque Estatal Border Field de San Diego, donde era esperado por agentes de la Patrulla Fronteriza y por una ambulancia.
David Smith hijo, quien también ha realizado algunas proezas como "bala humana", dijo que el vuelo de su padre fue el primero realizado sobre una frontera internacional por una persona disparada por un cañón.
Téllez organizó el acto con pacientes de un Centro de Salud Mental de Baja California en Mexicali, como un proyecto terapéutico. El acto es parte de una serie que se extenderá por varios meses, auspiciado por inSite05, una iniciativa de arte binacional en la región fronteriza.
Téllez consideró que el proyecto mostró una "escultura viviente" y trató de reflejar la "disolución de la frontera" entre Estados Unidos y México, así como entre los enfermos mentales y el resto de la gente.
"David Smith es una metáfora del vuelo sobre las fronteras humanas, sobre la ley y sobre lo establecido", señaló.
Téllez, de 36 años, y Smith, trabajaron en la música, vestuario y publicidad del proyecto "Un Vuelo sobre el Vacío". Téllez planea realizar un filme documental sobre la proeza.

Electronic Music Pioneer Moog Dies At 71
From Billboard
By Lars Brandle, London
Bob Moog, inventor of his namesake range of synthesizers and one of the most significant figures in the evolution of electronic music, died yesterday (Aug. 21) at his home in Asheville, N.C. He was 71. A native of N.Y., Moog was diagnosed with brain cancer in late April and had since undergone radiation treatment and chemotherapy.
After a decade of building theremins with his father, Moog created his prototype, the Moog Modular Synthesizer, in 1963 and unveiled it the following year at the Audio Engineering Society Convention.
Among the first popular recorded music albums to feature the instrument was Wendy Carlos' 1968 release "Switched-On Bach," which sold more than one million copies and earned the artist three Grammys. Moog himself received a Grammy Trustees Award for lifetime achievement in 1970.
"[Moog] contributed to a new soundscape -- a legacy that we will continue in his honor," comments Mike Adams, president of N.C.-based Moog Music. "He was a musical pioneer for the love of it and musicians everywhere have had the opportunity to expand their own creative horizons with Bob's inventions."
An icon in electronic music circles, Moog was the focus of a Hans Fjellestad-directed documentary, "Moog," which was issued last year by Plexifilm. He was due to deliver the keynote speech at the upcoming Amsterdam Dance Event, to be held Oct. 27-29, but was forced to cancel his appearance shortly after his diagnosis.
Moog's family has established the Bob Moog Foundation, a charity dedicated to the advancement of electronic music. A host of his collaborators, including Carlos and Yes' Rick Wakeman, will sit on its board.
He is survived by his wife, Ileana, and five children. No public memorial is planned.

Despertó con sus tres esposas al lado de la cama
De Infobae
Un británico de 59 años despertó en la cama del hospital, tras ser intervenido quirúrgicamente y se encontró con sus tres esposas, que habían ido a visitarlo al mismo tiempo.
Melvin Reed había hecho varias tratativas para no recibir visitas, pero no pudo evitar que las tres mujeres se encuentren en el mismo cuarto.
Cuando Reed salió de la operación en la que le habían colocado un triple bypass, se encontró con que sus tres esposas estaban esperándolo en el mismo cuarto.
Según los medios británicos, las mujeres, lejos de armar un escándalo, mantuvieron una reunión en el estacionamiento del hospital donde se enteraron de que todas estaban casadas con el mismo hombre.
El hombre se entregó a la policía al salir del hospital, y confesó ser bígamo, lo que en Gran Bretaña es considerado una ofensa legal.
La justicia británica lo encontró culpable, y lo sentenció a cuatro meses de prisión en suspenso, y a pagar una multa de 126 dólares, en concepto de gastos administrativos.
La Policía Metropolitana aseguró que Reed se había casado con Jean Grafton, en 1966, aunque luego se separaron sin llevar adelante un divorcio.
Luego, en 1998, contrajo matrimonio con Denise Harrington, y finalmente, en 2003, con Lyndsey Hutchinson.
Tanto Harrington como Hutchinson pidieron la nulidad de los casamientos, aunque, según los medios, los abogados les informaron que en realidad nunca estuvieron casadas con Reed, ya que sus bodas nunca fueron válidas.

Cartilla Canal Pop - Agosto 2005
Bueno, han pasado unas cuantas semanas desde nuestra última newsletter así que es hora de llenar las casillas de correo no deseado nuevamente. He aquí las novedades de Canal Pop
1) Tenemos MySpace!
En la Argentina no se la conoce mucho pero en USA/ Europa www.myspace.com. es una de las páginas más populares. Uno hace su página y los demás leen lo que uno pone. En realidad nosotros tenemos www.canalpop.com.ar pero como todas las bandas del género electropop tienen una página en MySpace y nosotros somos la clase de gente que se tiraría al rio si nuestros amigos lo hacen primero fuimos y sacamos una página en myspace. Exactamente:
¿Por qué debería importarle a alguien? Porque ahí hay tres canciones originales de Canal Pop (bueno, medio copiadas de otras bandas pero con otro nombre). Simplemente carguen la página y las canciones comienzan a sonar solas. Ah! También tenemos varias docenas de amigos y fans. Algunos no son imaginarios.
2) Tenemos un upgrade en la página!
Si no han estado yendo a www.canalpop.com.ar los invitamos a que se den una vuelta. Allí podran ver:
a) Algunas fotos nuevas de Emiliano Canal & la cantante Gaby Laguzzi. (En "imágenes actuales").
b) Cuestionario de Gaby Laguzzi. ¿Le gustan los rubios o los morochos? ¿Considera a los champignones vegetales? (la parte de los champignones está en inglés, creo). ¿A quién se llevaría a una isla desierta? (Ayudita: a Emiliano no se lo llevaría.).
c) Visiten el guestbook y vean saludos en todos los idiomas incluídos el sueco! (lo juramos que es sueco de verdad, 100% auténtico de suecio o a lo sumo de Noruega).
d) Lean el review que nos hizo un sello de Suecia! (No tiene ninguna relación con los mensajes en sueco en el guestbook).
3) Empezamos a repartir CD's (más bien, cajas)
Dado que la grabación de los primeros temas fue un éxito empecé a mover algunos CD's. Lo primero que hice fue llevar 3 copias a una importante radio electrónica (una para cada jefe/ capo). Una semana después recibí un email felicitándome por la imagen de la banda y rogándome que esta vez les llevara el CD adentro de la caja porque les había mandado las cajas vacías. Les dije que la culpa era de mi secretaria que estaba con sindrome premenstrual (los hombres no entendemos mucho de eso así que siempre uso eso para zafar) y les llevé los CD's muerto de vergüenza. Recuérdenme esto cuando empiece a hacerme el profesional... (igual no entiendo lo que pasó, soy medio idiota pero esto es demasiado).
Bien, esto es todo desde CanalPopLandia. Espero que estén todos bien. Para los que les gusten los temas hay un regalito.

Plastic Orgasm People, un dúo misterioso
Hace unos años, MP3.com era uno de mis sitios de cabecera. El portal había sido creado en el año 1999 por el entrepeneur Michael Robertson, con el objetivo de brindarle a artistas independientes de todo el mundo la posibilidad de difundir y comercializar su música. La mala idea de extender el concepto hacia una radio online en la que los dueños de CDs podían escuchar los temas contenidos en ellos desde la red (incluyendo canciones de los catálogos de las grandes discográficas) lo llevó a un litigio que terminó con la venta de la idea a la discográfica Universal, que destruyó por completó el concepto original (ahora pertenece a Cnet).
En MP3.com había un ranking de los temas más bajados por la gente, y un día me soprendí al comprobar que una de las bandas más exitosas era Argentina, más precisamente de Adrogué. Su nombre era Plastic Orgasm People, la formaban Alejandro Marino y Emiliano Canal, y su sonido remitía de inmediato a Depeche Mode y otras bandas synth-pop de los ochenta. Lo curioso es que a pesar de su enorme éxito virtual (superaron los 27000 downloads), eran totalmente ignorados en los ambientes under habituales. Fuera del país, aparecieron en el compilado Electricity: An Electronic Pop Sampler editado por el sello especializado en synthpop NinthWave Records.
Ya desaparecido el portal del Sr. Robertson, el dúo empezó a hacer presentaciones en vivo, apareció en los suplementos de música, etc., aunque el debut discográfico seguía retrasandose debido a la crisis económica argentina.
Al fin en 2003 editaron oficialmente un disco llamado The Meaning (Of Love), bajo el sello Eternal Sunday (hoy desaparecido) y que todavía se vende en la tienda virtual de Tower Records del país del norte. En algún momento estuvo disponible en la de Buenos Aliens, pero ahora está agotado. En el mismo año el disco tuvo un par de reviews en medios locales, y allí se termina la historia (más detalles en este divertido FAQ).
Haciendo algunas búsquedas nostálgicas me entero de que la banda ya no existe y que uno de sus integrantes vive en Estados Unidos. Por suerte, un tema de Plastic Orgasm People ha sobrevivido a tantos vaivenes y todavía se puede bajar íntegro de GarageBand.com, hallazgo que quería compartir con ustedes.
¿Y Michael Robertson? Bueno, sigue ocupado. Ahora se dedica a desarrollar una versión comercial de Linux llamada Linspire, y recientemente inauguró MP3Tunes, un portal de downloads independientes al estilo de MP3.com, pero eso lo dejamos para otro post.

Classic rock joke
From the Dec Cluskey newsletter
The gags: [dating in 1957 - for those who remember and for those who don't remember. This humour is a shade of grey - but not what you may think at first.]
It's the summer of 1957 and Harold goes to pick up his date, Peggy
Sue.
Harold's a pretty hip guy with his own car and a duck tail hairdo.
When he goes to the front door, Peggy Sue's mother answers and invites
him in. "Peggy Sue's not ready yet, she says, "so why don't you have a
seat?"
Peggy Sue's mother asks Harold what they're planning to do.
Harold replies politely that they will probably just go to the
malt shop or to a drive-in movie.
Peggy Sue's mother responds, "Why don't you kids go out and screw?
I hear all the kids are doing it."
Naturally this comes as quite a surprise to Harold and he says
"Wha... Whaaat?"
"Yeah," says Peggy Sue's mother, "We know Peggy Sue really likes
to screw; why, she'd screw all night if we let her!"
Harold's eyes light up and he smiles from ear to ear. Immediately,
he has revised the plans for the evening. A few minutes later, Peggy
Sue comes downstairs in her little poodle skirt with her saddle shoes,
and announces that she's ready to go.
Almost breathless with anticipation, Harold escorts his date out
the front door while Mom is saying, "Have a good evening kids," with a
small wink for Harold.
About 20 minutes later, a thoroughly dishevelled Peggy Sue rushes
back into the house, slams the door behind her and screams at her
mother,
"Dammit, Mom! The Twist! The Twist! It's called The Twist!

Canal Pop bio v 1.3
Canal Pop is a pop band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, with catchy electronic songs in English. Bandmembers are Emiliano Canal, keyboards and production, and Gabriela Laguzzi, the singer. The band was started in 2005 when Emiliano finally found in Gaby the singer he was looking for the project he had in mind.
Emiliano was a member of a band called Plastic Orgasm People, also with songs in English, which released some material overseas (that means in the USA and Europe). They were about to release their first album when singer Ale Marino suddenly went to live to New York City and the band was over. That was three years ago, leaving Emiliano with a couple of dozen catchy songs written but without a singer or a band.
"During a couple of years I was in a very curious situation," Emiliano remembers. "Because there were record labels that knew me and asked me for material, and I was locked at home with the songs, auditioning new singers to replace Alejandro. Most musicians have the band and the songs and have no idea of how to release the material. I had the songs and the labels but had no band." But that period had its advantages, because he dedicated himself entirely to write and record new songs, and to produce other people. And the new songs were somehow different to the previous ones.
"My former band was a typical band formed by guys which are 23, 24 years old," says Emiliano. "There were lots of sexual references, even in the name of the band, and that was just a reflex of the kind of life we lived at the time. We and our fans were living alone and away from our parents, going out every night, meeting girls or boys or whatever they liked, waking up late, eating junk food because nobody really knew how to cook, you name it. Now that time is over. I have my own apartment, I go jogging, I wake up early, my friends have kids so everything is less adult and more family oriented, if you allow me the expression. I realize that my songs have somehow changed, because now I don't feel I'm writing only for adults anymore. Any mother can let their kids listen to our stuff. Well, most of it".
The singer, Gaby Laguzzi, had a lot to do with that change. Her image is strangely innocent, a little bizarre and quite sexy at the same time, and she's the proud owner of a privileged voice. "Sometimes I think she's some kind of Japanese character, like Hello Kitty", says Emiliano. "She's got this charming side that attracts kids, from let's say 9 to 13 years old. No wonder that I don't write anymore about those crazy situations. But the odd thing is that she doesn't also attracts the kids, their parents (specially the fathers) seem to like her too. And gay guys love her. Nobody told me that he or she didn't like her. Some people said that Gaby wears bizarre clothes, but this is pop music. You have to look a little ridiculous".
This popular image is not casual. Gabriela has worked for many years as a professional singer, singing backing (and main) vocals with dozens of bands, recording jingles and going on tour with many famous bands. "I've sung jazz, tango, folklore, jingles for soup, jingles for shopping centers, and I've been on a Latin American tour sleeping in five stars hotels and I had to change my clothes in horrible places with no electricity full of cockroaches," remembers Gabriela. "And I really think that it's time to loosen it, to stop doing a thousand things and dedicate myself to Canal Pop and maybe some other little thing. I need to be a project where I can express myself".

The singer, Gaby Laguzzi, had a lot to do with that change. Her image is strangely innocent, a little bizarre and quite sexy at the same time, and she's the proud owner of a privileged voice. "Sometimes I think she's some kind of Japanese character, like Hello Kitty", says Emiliano. "She's got this charming side that attracts kids, from let's say 9 to 13 years old. No wonder that I don't write anymore about those crazy situations. But the odd thing is that she doesn't also attracts the kids, their parents (specially the fathers) seem to like her too. And gay guys love her. Nobody told me that he or she didn't like her. Some people said that Gaby wears bizarre clothes, but this is pop music. You have to look a little ridiculous".
This popular image is not casual. Gabriela has worked for many years as a professional singer, singing backing (and main) vocals with dozens of bands, recording jingles and going on tour with many famous bands. "I've sung jazz, tango, folklore, jingles for soup, jingles for shopping centers, and I've been on a Latin American tour sleeping in five stars hotels and I had to change my clothes in horrible places with no electricity full of cockroaches," remembers Gabriela. "And I really think that it's time to loosen it, to stop doing a thousand things and dedicate myself to Canal Pop and maybe some other little thing. I need to be a project where I can express myself".
