Chi un minimo mi conosce sa che fra le varie cose mi danno fastidio ci sia anche tutto quel definire nerd qualsiasi cosa abbia occhiali spessi neri, supereroi o riferimenti a videogames d'annata o ancora peggio, ma più presente come fenomeno, l'autodefinirsi come tale in qualsiasi contesto. La colpa è dei mass media, di Tumblr e di The Big Bang Theory, ma come un moderno Adorno sputo nel piatto in cui mangio perchè a me quella serie tv piace e fa riderissimo (così come mi piace lo swing, il jazz nero in piccolissime dosi e i [...]

Un tipo que se hace llamar cTrix, tuvo la idea de combinar sus obsesiones de video juegos de 8 bits, con el rock... y diseñó una guitarra construida con un Atari y un montón de pedales y efectos. Se trata de la gAtari 2600 y además, se dio el lujo de presentarla durante el pasado Blip Festival Tokyo 2011, en donde una pandilla de nipones geeks hacen slam digital al compás de la guitarra retro futurista. En realidad dudamos que se convierta en el instrumento del futuro, pero seguramente más de uno quedará fascinado por los acordes que genera el [...]

Atari Teenage Riot es una de las bandas más famosas del industrial. Desapareció durante mucho tiempo pero después volvieron por más . Aquellos que conozcan a la agrupación sabrán perfectamente que, antes que nada, están en contra de las corporaciones, gobiernos y a favor de la libertad e, incluso muchas veces, propagan un mensaje anárquico. En esta oportunidad presentaron "Black Flags" que se trata de una canción a través de la cual apoyan tanto a Anonymous como a WikiLeaks . Este es todavía un video promocional pero la intención, como [...]

Nel 2008 gli Atari esordirono con "Sexy Games For Happy Families", disco carino e simpatico figlio dei Blur da grande fuga e del pop electronico più educato, diciamo pure mansueto. Un disco che veniva dall'età giovanile ma che allo stesso tempo le dava il definitivo saluto e con lei alle merende con pane e cioccolata e ai pomeriggi di maggio passati a smanettare con console 8 bit o quattro tracce. Tre anni possono essere lunghi, ben più del gruzzolo di giorni che effettivamente coprono o di un'era politica che sorge e tramonta, conferendo alla barba i [...]
Emotions are mixed as they always are when leaving one place behind to face something completely unknown but I'm a major advocate for change and more-so pro anti-regrets

The Queers have announced dates for their upcoming tour.

The Queers will be hitting the road with The Ataris in February with support from Boston's Far From Finished . The boys are currently in the midst of a US tour . They last released Back to the Basement on Asian Man Records in 2010.
I have a number of habits, but at least one of them is almost a compulsion. (Maybe more than one, but let's put that aside for now.) I can't seem to avoid saying 'knock on wood' when talking about something that I'm hopeful will turn out well. Of course I'm not alone. Knocking on wood - or in some cases just touching it - to avoid a jinx has been a common practice for many years in most parts of the world. But what is a simple superstition to most people has become almost a necessity to me, [...]

Shit just got real. A beat from the production half of Chiddy Bang.
Chiddy Bang's Xaphoon Jones just randomly dished out some flamesauce via Twitter, and I'm not mad. The dude has beats for days. Tweet
