A few friend’s have been deactivating their Facebook profiles lately. Facebook’s default settings have been switched so that blissfully unaware users will be sharing everything they post or upload with anyone, anywhere - including search engines. More people are signing up to Twitter every day and the number of ‘followers’ you have looks to be the future of Social Networking mojo. The big guns at Google are of course aware of all this. The new twitter-eque Google Buzz networking tool was switched on last month for the 176 million or so Gmail users worldwide. This has caused a stir up because accounts frequently emailed were automatically ‘followed’, followers can then be viewed by others in your Google ‘Public Profile’. This smelt a big fishy to me and not in keeping with Google’s ‘Don’t Be Evil‘ policy so I ‘unBuzzed’ today. For those asking “how do I unBuzz??” This article has some useful advice. Some related information and discussion on Social Networking’s magic ‘Dunbar Number’ here.

]]>]]>Boy is released on March 25 in New Zealand.
The year is 1984, and on the rural East Coast of New Zealand Thriller is changing kids lives. Inspired by the Oscar nominated Two Cars, One Night, BOY is the hilarious and heartfelt coming-of-age tale about heroes, magic and Michael Jackson.
BOY is a dreamer who loves Michael Jackson. He lives with his brother ROCKY, a tribe of deserted cousins and his Nan.
Boys other hero, his father, ALAMEIN, is the subject of Boys fantasies, and he imagines him as a deep sea diver, war hero and a close relation of Michael Jackson (he can even dance like him). In reality hes in the can for robbery.
When Alamein returns home after 7 years away, Boy is forced to confront the man he thought he remembered, find his own potential and learn to get along without the hero he had been hoping for.
Starring Te Aho Eketone-Whitu, James Rolleston, Taika Waititi
Directed/Written by Taika Waititi (’Eagle Vs Shark’, TV’s ‘Flight of the Conchords’)

The Gaslamp Killer is touring NZ in February and Beats People Movement have been lucky enough to secure an exclusive Auckland show !!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE GASLAMP KILLER (Brainfeeder Records, Low End Theory, USA)
The Gaslamp Killer is a Los Angeles-based DJ whose eclectic animal style ranges from psychedelia and world music to dubstep and left-field hip-hop. Associated with Flying Lotus Brainfeeder Records, he made his production debut in the late 2000s with a series of EPs.
Born William Benjamin Bensussen, he originally comes from San Diego, CA, whose downtown Gaslamp District’s bar scene inspired him to name himself The Gaslamp Killer in disgust for much of the patronage. But his real home is behind the turntables, where his wild style takes DJing into the realm of freak fest psychedelia.
Upon relocating to Los Angeles, he found a niche for himself amid the city’s massive underground party scene and ultimately found a home for himself as a resident DJ at the club Low End Theory, which resulted in a series of club-sponsored podcasts. He also released a series of mix CDs, among them Gaslamp Killers (2007), Its a Rocky Road (2007), I Spit On Your Grave (2008), Hell and the Lake of Fire Are Waiting For You! (2009) and All Killer (2009), the latter a label showcase for the London-based world psychedelia imprint Finders Keepers Records.
As a producer, The Gaslamp Killer made his debut in the late 2000s, releasing, a split single with Free the Robots The Killer Robots, in 2008 and EP My Troubled Mind in 2009.
