“This is a scarf I knitted based on a sample of the The Amen Break. I took an image of the waveform of the amen break and converted it into a knitting pattern, which I uploaded onto a hacked knitting machine. The knitting pattern repeats over and over the same way that the amen break sample gets looped in so many musical compositions.”

Dozens of young people were being held and punished by [Banda Aceh, Indonesia] police on Tuesday for the supposed crime of being “punk,” despite not being charged with any crime nor being brought before a court. […]
Banda Aceh police took the arrestees on Tuesday afternoon to the Aceh State Police School for “reeducation.” Aceh police chief Ins. Gen. Iskandar Hasan described the punishment awaiting them when they reached the police school in the Seulawah hills, 62 kilometers east of he capital.
“There will be a traditional ceremony. First their [Mohawks] will be cut. Then they will be tossed into a pool. The women’s hair we’ll cut in the fashion of a female police officer,” Iskander said on Tuesday. “Then we’ll teach them a lesson.”
Iskander denied the punishment constituted a breach of human rights.
“We’ll change their disgusting clothes. We’ll replace them with nice clothes. We’ll give them toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, sandals and prayer gear. It will all be given to them,” he said. “I’ll remind [police] not to breach human rights. We are oriented to educating our community, our nation. This is our country too, right?”

"After the 2008 global financial crisis, rock bands and their managers are paying closer attention to obscure concerns like currency rates and economic trends when inking contracts with foreign concert promoters. Eight months before Metallica takes the stage in Germany, Mr. Burnstein decides whether the band should be paid in dollars, euros or a combination of the two. If exchange rates swing in a way that hurts Metallica’s earnings, he buys derivative financial instruments to lock in a preferred rate."

[Fans] can do anything they want with my stuff. If they want to listen to my music, or look at my art, or download a poster or a book, I say go for it.
I’m not going to get paid anyway. Do you think Warner Brothers is ever going to pay me a penny for any records I ever made, or Slash Records? I don’t get paid for those. They’re protecting the rights they own on my work so that they can make money, not that I can get paid. They don’t pay me, the laws are not in my favor. […]
It’s really difficult to get paid. So, yeah, I say, “Steal it all. Steal it all.” I make my monthly bills. I don’t care. I don’t need more than what I need. I’m not looking to be a millionaire. It would be nice if those situations weren’t corrupt.
