This blog has been dead lately… But a lot is actually happening in my life!
I don’t think I mentionned it in here, but I’m part of a ska band, as a trumpet player, since september-october 2007.
Until recently, we didn’t have a name and had nothing to show for. But that has changed!
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to
The Skopitones !
Seven musicians, a rhytm section, 3 brass players (sax, trumpet, trombone) playing traditionnal Jamaican Ska.
I could try to describe with words what Jamaican Ska sounds like, but it’s much easier to make you listen to it.
We recorded a small 2 part demo in our Limoilou studios, entirely available through our myspace page (
myspace.com/skopitones). Go listen to it!
Listen to The Skopitones on MySpace.
(By the way, myspace is a pain… for layout!)
To all the producers, bar owners, festival organisers: We’re ready to play!
To contact us, send an e-mail to me: brem (AT) martinbreton.com.
bremska!

The Firefox (Mozilla) team wanted to break the Guiness World Record for the most downloads in a 24 hours period for its new
Firefox 3.0 browser. Although it seems that 9 minutes after placing the precious package on their Website, it went down. Oops.
I just received an email from Firefox to tell me to go get the software. The
link they provided me directs me to a page where it says “Download Firefox 3.0″, but just below, the version no. is still 2.0.0.14.
I think the PR team never really consulted the technical team as to how many people they could handle downloading at the same time. Also, I think they never tested their Website modifications before they went online, because their links are bogus.
They might make an excellent browser, but they certainly also succeed at making fools of themselves!
Update: the links are now all fixed… it’s downloading!

This is an art statement by Stig Nordas from
Action Figure, a video production company, where people are being punched in the head while being filmed with an ultra high speed camera.
I don’t know what the art statement is about, or what it is supposed to sell, but I know it looks kinda cool.
