Time Will Tell is the design project of two Swedish lads David and Tommy. But prior to starting up Time Will Tell together, Tommy (aka. CosM.I.C) used to travel the globe rocking stages and packed out shows with Swedish hip hop group Looptroop. So check out the guys site out, and if you like you hip hop with a good time vibe & a meaningfull message check out the troop too. True Swedish DVSG’s.

Our good mate Dubmood has “released quick promomix for the summer to promote whats up and comming from the hotest chipmusic label on the www“, and after having a listen to it, I may even agree with him as its a banger. So if you like your electronic music give it a listen.. just click the image below to download.

Paul McGuinness, manager of rock band U2 one of the richest bands on earth, has made a speech during the MIDEM music conference, urging to start a total war against piracy. McGuinness said “It is time for artists to stand up against shoddy, careless and downright dishonest way they have been treated in the digital age”. McGuinness named a lot of defendants: he blamed record labels for “lack of foresight”, scientists, who “create marvelous devices but don’t think of themselves as makers of burglary kits”, and goverment who “created a thieves’ charter by agreeing that ISPs should not be responsible for what passes along their pipes”.
Finally, McGuinness has called on Internet service providers to immediately introduce disconnection policies to end illegal music downloads.

Scientists as creators of burglary kits, total war on piracy, and ISPs creating a theives charter, first Tom Cruise, now this raving fool. What next? Send everyone who has downloaded a song to Guantanamo?

Apparently, Radiohead yesterday released their album online for those that preordered, with up to 1/3 of people paying nothing and getting the album. Well, funnily enough, I paid quite a decent amount and never got the download link. I have already emailed them and Im sure they will sort it out, but it raises the question, If one was to download the album somewhere else, even though they had paid for it, would that constitute piracy? Or if someone downloaded the album and they hadnt paid a cent for it, would that be piracy, when you can quite easily go to their website and download it for free. How about if you gave it to your friends after you had paid for it, would that be piracy when again, its free off their website.

Food for thought.
