in 1960, in more than 12.000 locations in new york city you were
allowed to dance.

in 2004, 296 locations are left.

the USA is the only country besides afghanistan and iran where it
is almost impossible to enjoy dancing in the public today, simply
because it is illegal.
millions of dollars are spent on special police patrols which are
extensively controlling clubs and djs, how people dance, when and
how long they dance, and what music they are dancing to.
they are probably also investigating why people dance, but they
will never find out.

garageband has been updated to 1.1.

there is also a little update for digital performer which is fixing
some things in motu´s audiounit hosting engine regarding specific

i have been working myself through the last 7 months of the news
pages and started making the OS X VST list more complete than
it was before.
it should be almost up-to-date again, only a few things need some
more work.
maybe we can finally compose a proper AU list next week, with the
help of one of my AU-buddies.


i finally removed vivaldi mx and serato scratch from the lists.
