Misser - 2010-01-12

For his holiday in october 2009, Jarno Beumer collected the top 10-songs published on http://remix.kwed.org of every year and shared this compilation as a torrent so the best C64-remixes are just a few mouseclicks away for anyone.

As 2009 ended, he updated this torrent and added the top 10 songs of 2009 as well. You want the very best of remixed C64-songs? Go grab the Best of Commodore 64 (C64 SID) remixes 2000 - 2009-torrent here
As usual get your latest remixes on RKO and remember to keep seeding for a while after download.

  SLAY Radio on Nokia N97

Slaygon - 2009-08-24

Hello tech freaks!

Thought you might be interested in playing SLAY Radio on your Nokia N97. If so, head over to Jamie Fuller's blog and pick his neat app up!

In the words of Jamie:
"Its still a very early version, it has little or no error checking, and you use at your own risk but... If you want to use it you can.

Please note this was written in Python and so requires the latest runtimes, tested successfully on 1.9.7."

Happy SLAYing!

  Regarding the matter of Paralax

SLAY Radio Staff - 2009-07-06

First of all - Very sorry for this lengthy post, but we feel it is necessary. It will be posted as a news item and as a forum post on remix64.com.

Regarding the matter of Manuel Sehrbrock, a.k.a. Paralax, a.k.a owner of radio-paralax.de.

Spamming. Death threats. Generally hostile behaviour. For a number of years now Paralax has been pestering the scene, not only by being a general pain in the arse, but much worse - there are documented cases of him threatening people’s lives, calling them at their homes, sending threatening emails, handing out threats on IRC; You name it, he has done it.

For a long time we only considered this character an annoyance, but he has proven, time after time, that he is so much more than that. We have given him every chance possible to be a decent person - even helping him get his radio station online and promoting him.

This, however, was not enough for Paralax. He not only thinks that we are the "big evil" and out to get him, but that we are hindering him from growth. Nothing could be farther from the truth - we have done everything in our power to help this chap with his endevour, but nothing short of shutting our own sites down seem to be good enough for him.

Here are a few recent examples of the kind of communication skills Paralax has displayed. First a little tidbit that a number of scene people woke up to one morning on IRC:

"I wish you dearly that you will die a long and painfully death visited by the cholera or something like that. I will give a PARTY then and WE ALL will celebrate it!"

Isn't that cute? The sending IP address resolved to Paralax' home town.

But wait. There's more! Facebook invitations en masse and emails are not uncommon. Nor are mass subscriptions to our services with fake accounts, posing as known sceners, used for various methods of spamming on said services.

Here's just the latest batch, made recently on the SLAY Radio shoutbox:

2009-06-23 05:39.10 - the_sie_: Finally!!! Radio Paralax 4 ever! :)
2009-06-23 05:27.35 - subzero_: Indeed! Let's rock!!! :)
2009-06-23 05:25.25 - makke_: Good idea! I will tune in Paralax as well! :)
2009-06-23 05:22.55 - ffloaf: Well, there's the Chillout-Zone with DJ Micha on wednesday.
2009-06-23 05:17.18 - boz_: There are some more shows announced?
2009-06-23 05:14.55 - cpt_chaos_: Yeah! Let's rock on www.radio-paralax.de tonight. :D
2009-06-23 05:13.01 - dumper_: Sounds good! I will tune in today at 21:15 CET
2009-06-23 05:10.33 - fnordpojk_: Seems to be the Free Jump with DJ Apprentice.
2009-06-23 05:07.18 - slaygon1971: Wohoo! Let's see what our new partner radio-paralax has announce

The above shows 9 different fake accounts he was using on that day alone. To show a bit of statistics, out of 63,922 shouts to date, only 362 have had to be deleted - ALL of them made by Paralax.
The exact amount of his faked accounts, that we’ve had to delete over the years, we don’t really know, but a fair guess would be that the numbers are in the same region as deleted shoutbox posts.

We have tried ignoring him. That didn't work. We have tried communicating with him "behind the scenes". That didn't work. The option we are left with is full exposure. So here you are, Paralax. You’ve finally managed to tip everyone over the edge.

For historical reasons, we’ve unhidden the news post from back in July 2006 asking the community to ignore this guy (see "Selected further reading" below for reference). We actually removed that post on request from Paralax himself after having a long discussion with him regarding his behaviour. We see no reason to keep it removed any more.

Also, we’d like to encourage everyone to post their experience with this person as a reply to this post.

Thank you for your attention.

- The SLAY Radio Staff.
