Prins Thomas is a DJ from Norway

Prins Thomas is a DJ from Norway…
Or how my brain works fucked

 
Oh urinal let me embrace thee! It trickled out sporadically, teasingly,
eventually finding a full flow, the dam burst and he let out a loud pee-gasm
driven sigh: "Ah fuck that's good."
The pressure of toilet performance was now over he needn't hide himself in the corner any longer. A quick look around a
few shakes and we’re done.
The floor began to tremor with a funk driven bass from downstairs, a youth lay
held in the grip of a white toilet emerging stale and spent looking, mouth
spluttering words to his sneakerwise friend.
"Fuckin deadly tune man"
"Yea, you, ah nearly done there boss?" the friend remarks nonchalantly.

At the bar voices raised in the bravado that only payday brings, heads rise up
from the feeder, puffy eyes of the weekend drinkers; a warm welcome. And there
he sits the Solomon of all this chaos the bringer of goodtimes, telegram boy
for the hangovers that lurk in the recesses of all present.
“What’s your drink son?”
-"Just a beer"
"That'll be six euro."
Six euro, robbery without violence, he thought to himself.

He moves towards the floor, standing silently beside a girl.
"In Norway it wouldn't be as much, longest coastline in the world in proportion
to its size, didn't you know" he commented to Stephanie, a French girl who had
perfected the art of the awkward silence here they stood lost in the translation of an inaudible foreign language.

"Prins Thomas is his name" he motioned pointing to the DJ who in fact was Prins
Thomas a well known House Dj from Norway which was presumably why the soon to be
rejected man blurted out his coastline knowledge.

"Em very interesting" she countered
Mistakenly led into thinking the conversation had a life further than outside
those last syllables the man tried to think of more information on Norway or at
least Prins Thomas.

'Um yea the promoters a friend of mine, I come here sometimes for the good acts
its busy tonight too, Radioactive Man played support, think them Norwegian
lads brought the cold weather with them too, ha ha'
"Yes its quite cold" realising that the man was not to be put off with subtle hints she decided to make the best of it.
"Em I wonder could you maybe get me a drink? Mines empty"

Yes this is my chance alright knew watching that documentary on Norway would pay
off thank you BBC Bristol! he thought excitedly.
"Um yea of course same again?"

There he is again, that bartender bastard! I am loving this music though two
turntables that's all it takes think they call that a mash up. Wonder why he
isn't big like Rokysopp maybe doesn't want all the attention bet you he knows
them though.
"That'l be 12 euro"
12 it was six a minute ago, fuck sake.
The scratch of glasses. Don't spill it. Ok where is she?
Ah Bollox.

Prins Thomas went on to a house party that night happy in the knowledge that the
people enjoyed his music, Stephanie met a Spanish trigonometry student
who didn't seem to mind or understand the awkard silences. And three drinks
later that man was seen stumbling towards a kebab takeaway mumbling something
under his breath about annual percentage rainfall in the northern European climate, or something of the like.

20/11/08 Journey Southward: Sirius Shares Hit 20 Cents
20/11/08  Journey Southward: Sirius Shares Hit 20 Cents

When is a stock officially a dog?  On Monday, shares of Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) hit a bottom-scraping 20 cents, an all-time low for the company.  The depressed valuation comes alongside a string of fundamental problems, including a massive $4.8 billion write-off and future loan obligations crossing into the billions.

Others continued to limp on Wall Street.  The broader Dow improved 151.17 points, or 1.83 percent, to land at 8,424.75 after a late-stage bounce.  During the day, traders digested news of falling wholesale prices, a sign that inflation is not a near-term threat; and a surprisingly positive forecast by Hewlett-Packard.  Elsewhere, American automakers made their case for a bailout in Congress, and investors adjusted for a deeper recession.

That created a volatile day, one that see-sawed music-related shares.  Apple (AAPL) inched upward 2.01 percent to $89.91; Live Nation (LYV) dropped 4.06 percent to $4.73; Ticketmaster (TKTM) gained 3.93 percent to $6.08; Warner Music Group (WMG) jumped 10.83 percent to $2.66; and The Orchard dropped 12.99 percent to $2.21.

20/11/08 Cuban Bites Back Against SEC Charges...

In the face of a Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) insider trading investigation, most would assume a low-key demeanor.  But brash billionaire Mark Cuban is pursuing a more confrontational route, one that uses the pulpit of the blog.

The SEC recently filed suit against the broadcast.com founder, alleging that Cuban illegally dumped shares in Canadian search engine Mamma.com after acquiring confidential information related to an upcoming dilution.

At first, Cuban declined to delve into specifics.  But Cuban now appears ready to battle through Blog Maverick.  In a Tuesday post, Cuban acknowledged that Mamma relayed information related to an upcoming offering.  But Cuban denied that there were confidentiality aspects attached.  "The SEC knows their case centers on one telephone conversation between two individuals - 4 years ago," a posted letter from attorney Stephen A. Best stated.  "There was no agreement to keep information confidential."

20/11/08 French Labels Suing Limewire, Morpheus, Others

A consortium of French labels is now suing file-sharing applications Limewire, Morpheus, and Vuze, according to details revealed by Torrentfreak.  The action also includes Sourceforge, an open-source repository that offers hosting to Shareaza.   The lawsuits are being coordinated under the Société Civile des Producteurs de Phonogrammes en France, or SPPF.

The lawsuits are being delivered under the DADVSI copyright law.  An amendment to DADVSI prohibits any company from distributing software that facilitates the illegal transfer of content, and penalties ramp towards three years in jail and a 300,000 euro fine ($378,780).  That contrasts with the United States, where copyright holders can only pursue application developers for overtly encouraging and driving profits from copyrighted content.

Earlier, French courts were grappling over issues of jurisdiction, specifically whether a foreign company could be sued for distributing applications that are inherently global.  That placed previous lawsuits on hold, though courts have now authorized the actions.
20/11/08 Mexican Tycoon Grabbing Major Circuit City Stake
20/11/08 Mexican Tycoon Grabbing Major Circuit City Stake

Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego is now purchasing a large percentage of Circuit City shares, according to recent regulatory filings.  Pliego grabbed allotments of 5.3 million, 5.2 million, and 19.8 million shares starting last week, on top of an existing stronghold of 16.8 million.  That makes Pliego the largest shareholder of Circuit City, at roughly 28 percent.

The purchasing activity started November 12th, just two days after the company declared bankruptcy.  In Mexico, Pliego controls a diversified portfolio of companies that span retail, consumer electronics, mobile, and media sectors.  He is the chairman of Grupo Elektra SA, a consumer electronics retail giant; TV Azteca SA, a massive television broadcaster in the region; and Grupo Iusacell SA, a major mobile group.

Pliego is ranked as the fourth-richest Mexican, and one of the richest individuals in the world.  Circuit City is currently closing stores and restructuring amidst a serious consumer spending downturn.
17/11/08 Trouble Ahead, Trouble Behind: More Rockiness Awaits
17/11/08 Trouble Ahead, Trouble Behind: More Rockiness Awaits

A difficult rearview is now prelude to more turbulence ahead, and investors are exercising caution.  Instead of heady optimism and bottom-scraping scrappiness, most are girding for another rollercoaster week, including those carrying music-related shares.

That includes Warner Music Group (WMG), a company that bottomed an all-time low of $2.74 last week, only to resuscitate to $2.77 by Friday.  Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) also tested the trough by landing at 26 cents at the end of the week, a depressed valuation that betrays a host of serious ills.  

Those companies have fundamental issues, though broader headwinds remain unfriendly.  On Friday, the Dow shed 337.94 points to 8.497.31, a 3.82 percent drop on Friday.  Overall, the Dow dropped 4.2 percent on the week, based on a bearish mix of bad earnings, layoffs, tightening consumer confidence, and pending meltdowns of mega-corporations like GM.

Other music-related stocks felt the pressure.  Live Nation (LYV) landed at $5.50, a 36.6 percent drop on the week, based on negative analyst projections related to concert attendance.  Irving Azoff-helmed Ticketmaster Entertainment (TKTM) also ended sharply down, dropping 24.7 percent to $5.87.  The Orchard edged downward 1.9 percent, landing at $2.54; and Apple (AAPL) slipped 5 percent to $90.24.
