interview with eric castro, developer of islsk.
not like. as of yet, the application is leech only:
As of now, iSlsk is not capable of sharing your iPhone/iPod files. That caused some regular Soulseek users to get really angry, and they blamed me and complained [about iSlsk] flooding the network with “leechers” who only made larger queues. Because of that, I consider [uploading to be] the most important feature that needs to be implemented on future releases. I plan to keep improving others like file search, (e.g. allowing multiple searches at once), wish lists, and getting the music import to work better (it’s not stable the way it is now), as well as also adding chatroom and messaging support, since Soulseek is a community-based network.also, eric castro is apparently accepting donations for islsk, but never asked soulseek if they consented to its release. i don't know what other portable file-sharing apps there might be out there.

Lisbent is back! Rocking the smelly white trash style as always, complete with trashy errors and obscure samples. The album features samples from the first Amenathon over J-lo, to Counter Strike, to Erwin Neutzsky Wullf, the danish cult writer. So prepare yourself for a sloppy gabber onslaught, complete with distorted Amens, filtered thinks, and tentacled filled madness.zip.
Enjoy!
Les Sécrétions Romantiques takes you into something reminding of the Alec Empires Geist-universe with the Nozebleed Walz introduction. From there on you dive into a universe of diversity with everything from hardcore IDM to chippy electronica passing by gabba-core breaks and diverse French samples chopped in every possible way. This unique combination of chiptune, gabba, breakcore and horror is not only worth a listen, but instantly steals a spot in the illphabetik hall of fame – Excellent work by Les Sécrétions Romantiques!

TorrentSpy bit the dust only weeks ago, shuttering its peer-to-peer file-sharing site. Now a federal judge has ordered the company to pay the Motion Picture Association of America $110 million for infringement of thousands of copyrighted film and TV shows.
In a four-page final ruling issued Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Florence-Marie Cooper entered the multimillion-dollar judgment against TorrentSpy parent company Valence Media for willfully inducing, contributing and vicariously allowing copyright infringement on its Web site.
Cooper also issued a permanent injunction against the Web site, which shut down March 24.
The MPAA, which represents the Hollywood studios, filed suit against TorrentSpy in February 2006, claiming that the site's torrent files were illegally uploaded.
"This substantial money judgment sends a strong message about the illegality of these sites," MPAA chairman and CEO Dan Glickman said. "The demise of TorrentSpy is a clear victory for the studios."
Whether the MPAA will collect the $110 million from TorrentSpy remains to be seen. Court records show that Valence and TorrentSpy principles Justin Bunnell and Wes Parker have filed for bankruptcy.

“‘Dirt is matter in the wrong place’” (Freud 1959: 172-173).
“Hell has burst and has poured forth abundance” (Bakhtin 1984: 91).
“Debasement is the fundamental artistic principle of grotesque realism; all that is sacred and exalted is rethought on the level of the material bodily stratum or else combined and mixed with its images” (Bakhtin 1984: 370).
“Abuses, curses, profanities, and improprieties are the unofficial elements of speech. They were and still are conceived as a breach of the established norms of verbal address; they refuse to conform to conventions, to etiquette, civility, respectability. These elements of freedom, if present in sufficient numbers and with a precise intention, exercise a strong influence on the entire contents of speech, transferring it to another sphere beyond the limits of language. Such speech forms, liberated from norms, hierarchies, and prohibitions of established idiom, become themselves a peculiar argot and create a special collectivity, a group of people initiated in familiar intercourse, who are frank and free in expressing themselves verbally. The marketplace crowd was such a collectivity, especially the festive, carnivalesque crowd at the fair” (Bakhtin 1984: 187-188).
“The abject is the mud of Narcissus’ pool” (Lechte 1990: 160).
“We do not like (how inadequate this word is!) what we see; but this, too, is beside the point. For abjection is precisely what we do not, consciously, want to see. There is, on the other hand, a certain emotionally charged fascination with abjection: horror and fascination are here entwined. How can the speaking being cope with such a contradiction? Kristeva’s answer is this: not by more repression, but through a kind of laughter (the expenditure of affect): an apocalyptic laughter, given that we are faced with abjection” (Lechte 1990: 167).
“carnival is simultaneously continuous with the contemporary world and desperately at odds with it” (Gardiner 1993: 37).
“carnival is an ‘antibody’ living within a pathological social body, always threatening to rupture it from within” (Gardiner 1993: 37).
“Much of this ideological mode of carnivalization, of course, revolves around the destruction of images sacred in other, different, often opposing cultural levels and dialogues” (Brottman 2005: 14).
“The punk, for example, estranges the discourse of mass-appeal, major-label, commercialized chart music by means of an uncomprehending stupidity (simplicity, naivétè), where the very aspect of not understanding, not grasping the conventions of a society, not comprehending lofty, meaning-charged lyrics, chords, words, labels, and events, remains vital.” (Brottman 2005: 16).
“profanity is always delimited by social context. Although the verbal content is far from arbitrary it is only in certain contexts that the relevant words are thought to be shocking, and it is always the situation of profanity, rather than the words as such, which generates excitement … it is always the situation rather than the lexicon which decides whether or not any particular expression is or is not a profanity and the gravity of that profanity” (Leach 1980: 218-219).
“There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which is symbolized” (Hayakawa and Hayakawa 1990: 16).
“A learned vocabulary has two functions: first, it has the communicative function of giving expression to ideas–including important, difficult, or recondite ideas; secondly, it has a social function of conferring prestige upon its users and arousing respect and awe among those who do not understand it” (Hayakawa and Hayakawa 1990: 180).
