Finally http;//trig.com has a VE page as well. Check it out and create your own profile today

If you dont know....
Trig.com is the new enemy to http://myspace.com
AT
"TRIG:"
You can create a profile, just as on MYSPACE. As well as you can write about yourself, upload pictures, music and add friends, But between you and me, its more urban at "TRIG"
Trig.com took its birth in Sweden, but is already worldwide after just a few months - great marketing and idea, if you ask me!

Simon Brenting. When I first listen to his sound, I was sold, and couldnt stay put... I had to get up of my seat and swing myself to the groove.
After that I spokes to him, and we agreed that he should join VE, and everything went perfect - according to the plan... I was going to present him one of these days, but im not! Cause it has turned out that Simon just got a record deal at Playground. Which is HUGE!!! Im very happy for him, and I would order (if I could) everyone who sees this post to click on the picture and listen to his songs. Amazing stuff. Man of the future right here...

But dont panic.... These next weeks will be with 4 new amazing faces.

A big warm welcome to Low Winter Sun aka Dean Gartland. He has only been working in CS for a few months, but already showing great originality and talent. Thats why I thought VE would be a great place for him - especially for you to see his development. VE is very happy to present Low Winter Sun, which is the first artist joining VE this week.

But as promised... More amazing stuff will come...

It has been going on since the 20th of March 2003, and its not getting better..... Actually the opposite!
The war in Iraq has been yet another terrible strategy from the government of The United States. People are starving and dieing – and because of what? To take down Saddam? I don’t think so… I hate oil!

Denmark has joined the war. Maybe not the biggest support counted by soldiers – but “we” support the war. (Although we are not allowing any of the poor refugees in on our borders. Which actually means, that we cant take responsibility for our reactions) Denmark has taken 9 % of all refugees from Iraq. Our neighbours Sweden has taken 80 %... Why?

How can one of the most well organized systems approve this? How can the Danish government just break the law, shit on human rights, and spit on the trust, we give them, by having a reprehensive democracy ?

For Danish Readers:
"Read here why Denmark wasnt able to join the war in the first place"

JUST READ THE YEAR-RAPPORT FROM AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL
The organization Amnesty claims that the world has been more divided, since the terrible terror action the 11/9. This terror fear and mistrust has turned the world around by making human rights even less important, compared to their safety. The mistrust gives the governments a better way to "control" and watch their population...

In the rapport Amnesty criticizes Denmark for discrimination and use of isolation prisons, and puts a big question mark on the newest terror rule, which actually allows the government to listen to our phone calls. Not only suspects!

Again I must ask. Do we want a Americanized (and that is a word!!) Denmark?

"Is the way to avoid a messed up boy, who just walk in and kills 12 people on a school, by handing the students guns, to protect them against these "lunatics", like him?"

Im not the best to describe all this, but read more about it yourself -> Click on the picture...

IM PROUD OF PRESENTING A NEW FACE ON VE
As promised a new face has found his way to this page. Vuf Empire has finally discovered Jakob, aka. Vituel, whom is a very, and I mean very, talented graphical designer. He lives in the capital of Denmark, and has been doing designs for the eventmakers Foreignsound.dk and the outcome of that was quite nice, if you ask me. Doing illustrations for around 3 years now, and I bet you will also find some tunes from him in the future. Take a look today and keep updated for more... Cause more will come!

+NO PICTURE NEEDED+

As a strong believer of human rights, this new announcement has brought my interest.

It appears that Denmark has a problem following human rights. According to a new Amnesty campaign, 2 out of 3 rape cases get turned down, because of "weak evidence"! It is even claimed, by their Danish campaign leader, Camilla Laudrup, that a victim has around 0 % change to get in court, if one knows the person, who did it.

(info) Amnesty International was founded in 1961 and is now a worldwide pressure group. Amnesty promotes and defends human rights through media attention and direct appeal campaigns.

THERE YOU HAVE IT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN - THE STREET ART!
Gadegalleriet.dk is a Danish home page which creates "street art". The concept of GG.dk is using the city as an open and free gallery for this city art, which they make and create, by the rough materials, they already found in the streets. A make over, some might call it. A real piece of the city. Niiice!

VE got the pleasure of being part of one of their newest projects, which now is up at the skate ramp in Fælledparken, Copenhagen - for the public to enjoy. I like these guys, check out their other work..

First song is up already. And a good start, I must say. Its a remix of VETO´s - You are a knife, which was a fairly known track in Denmark last year.

I have to say - it was something worth waiting for.

This is a must. I order everybody to see this.

Remember WTC 9/11. Remember Fahrenheit, the movie, directed by Michael Moore, which informs you, that George Bush and the government had something to do with that specific "terror action" day? - This movie, Loose Change, is an incredible documentary going into the bones of what really happened that day.

If you, after watching Fahrenheit, felt 95% sure, that this was an act of the government of the USA, Loose Change will make you 100%. After seeing this, there is no doubt. I am chocked.
