| Timbaland 'fesses up to videogame idiots worldwide | 09/02/2007 |
|
In a revealing radio interview, Timbaland (famed Hip Hop Producer and well known SID fan) appeared to inadvertently confess to the theft of "Acid Jazz Evening" from Janne Sunni and Glenn Rune Gallefoss while trying to defend himself.
His main legal argument appears to be that the use of the tune was legal sampling because:
The apparent admission that he doesn't know where his samples come from is a gift to the case against him and Geffen Records. |

| ROTY 2007 Voting begins! | 06/02/2007 |
 From today, voting for 2007's best remixes and artists has begun!The most noteable difference to 2006's voting is that the number of entries into your personal ROTY lists in each category is not limited any more. The balance of points per rank remains unchanged, entries on rank #5 and below receive the same amount of points. The main ROTY voting page has a new AJAX user interface. It is more user friendly, and will validate your entries on the fly. The process of making ROTY entries in a tune's voting box remains unchanged. The only difference is that entries will not vanish if they slide below #5, but simply move further down in the list, receiving equal score. Happy ROTYing 2007!  PS: please report technical or conceptual difficulties. |

| HVSC #46 is out! | 23/01/2007 |
 From the HVSC team:"The drought is over! After the longest delay EVER between two updates we are back with another bunch of 1000+ SID tunes that bring the whole collection to a whopping 33,000 tunes! I´m confident it was worth waiting for, as the new updates has some surprises inside. The whole collection is undergoing a massive directory structure change. So if you´re downloading the update packs, be prepared for a rather long time it takes for the update tool to complete. After it has reached 60% things are becoming dog slow, but don´t mistake that with a freeze or crash. It´s doing its job, moving almost every tune in HVSC to its new location. Go outside for a walk and when you´re back you´ll have a new and shiny HVSC on your harddisk. For the full text of the update announcement, please read here..." |
