Finland Fully Digital !

Working in television for the U.S. market, I remember in the mid-90's, hearing everyone talk about tv "going digital" in the next 5 years - everyone will have a digital set and for those who cannot afford it, converters! Everything will be shot in digital only...The switch is just starting to happen now, many years later. According to the following article, U.S. is next, with Canada soon to follow...

"There is, however, a stodgy minority that has stuck by their old television sets and rabbit-ear antennae. These people, along with the unlucky few living outside the range of the new digital transmitters, woke up today to find themselves in a world without television."

Gogol Bordello Rocks.

Hooked up with KormaCurry & Dubmaster C and headed down to the Commodore Ballroom to watch the best show I have seen in a long time - Gogol Bordello. The band was awesome and the crowd was excitable, which made for a great night. It is refreshing to hear a new musical genre-gypsy music with punk rock sensibility. They are coming back in October and I will be there.
