This was their last performance at M.J last November 15. Since the last broadcast of the performance showed some technical problems they have decided to edit and re-broadcast it.

A.G. & O.C. carrying on D.I.T.C. traditions on this one, Keep It Going produced by E Blaze is off of their new collaborative album Oasis in stores  now.

Keep It Going – A.G. & O.C.

Mnet will be broadcasting their “Trend Report” on November 26th, 2009 scrutinizing all of the idol groups’ fashions at MAMA 2009!

Among the trendiest idols were 2NE1, G-Dragon, Brown Eyed Girls, KARA and others too. But Mnet chose G-Dragon and 2NE1 as the number ones. (Or twos.)

It’s a ‘Fashionista Face-off’ as Allkpop has put it! I agree with them

So who do you think should win?

GD or 2NE1?

Stay tuned to EBTSB to find out!

And the Hallyu phenomenon continues…

On the Best Hit Song Awards 2009 aired through Japan TV on the 26th, two of Korea’s favorite male idol groups received the Gold Artist Award. They were none other thanBig Bang and TVXQ.

This has actually been the second time for the senior TVXQ boys to claim this glorifying title, whereas it’s a first for the rookie Big Bang boys who only debuted in Japan five months ago.

As many already know, TVXQ is still twisted in a dispute with SM Entertainmentregarding their unfair contracts. Due to this reason, the special stage for this event was extra special for the fans who have waited a long time to see the five boys come together as one again. U-Know Yunho expressed during rehearsal, “I really want to go up on stage. I am very happy to be awarded the Gold Artist Award.”

In contrast to TVXQ, Big Bang does not have many achievements in Japan yet. However, after releasing their first single My Heaven, their popularity skyrocketed in Japan, reaching up to the second place on the Oricon Daily Charts. In addition, their second single Gara Gara Go! successfully climbed to third.

Congrats to TVXQ & Big bang!c

The 4 members of Big Bang were shown earlier being trapped and frozen for their latest CF for Hite Beer, but it seems as though the boys are ready to unleash themselves! A teaser for their upcoming CF has been released and it’s sending chills down my spine.

Mnet’s new year-end award ceremony MAMA was no doubt a success. Although the show’s rating clocked in at only just over 3%, today, the entertainment section of every media outlet in Korea was plastered with pictures and stories from this controversy-filled ceremony.

While most of us have learned to focus more on special performances by artists rather than the awards themselves, the awards are still the meat and potato of the ceremony. Star-studded nominee lists, the nervous faces, drum roll getting louder, your heart beating faster, and of course, the winners holding their trophies so dearly while they thank their parents with teary smiles.

So has MAMA’s distribution of major awards been understandable, or using a word that is so highly debatable, fair? Although many of the results produced hot reactions, let’s objectively examine the daesang (main award) winners of MAMA 2009.

Best Song of the Year: I Don’t Care

The honor of the best song of the year went to 2NE1’s I Don’t Care. 2NE1 is a group which can be labeled as super rookies and deserved to win the best new female artist award more than any other groups who were present. However, did I Don’t Care really deserve to win the song of the year?

Going back to the 2007 MKMF, we came across a similar situation as this year’s MAMA – this year, we had 2NE1 as the super rookies, and in 2007, we had world famous Wonder Girls. They had taken the nation by storm with their massive hit single Tell Me, resulting in thousands of Koreans dancing to the song and posting the video online. There was no doubt that Tell Me had become something close to a national syndrome, but the award for the best song of the year went to Big Bang’s Lies and the girls ended up with the Best New Female Artist Award. Why? It has been unheard of to give one of the daesang awards to a rookie group. Even legends like H.O.T. have not achieved such a feat. The only artist who has ever won a main award as a rookie is Seo Taiji. For those who are not so familiar with him, he simply started Kpop.

Now, back to 2NE1. I Don’t Care was no doubt a popular song, but it is hard to say that it was as popular as Tell Me, yet the song somehow managed to push 2NE1 to a level that nobody has managed to reach since the creator of Kpop did. The only explanation that appears to make sense is that I Don’t Care was given the honor only because SNSD’s massive hit Gee was not there to claim the title.

Album of the Year: Heartbreaker

More controversial than any other recipients of the awards, G-Dragon’s Heartbreaker was given the honour of being titled the best album of the year. For reasons that most of our readers are already aware of, Heartbreaker has been under criticism of not only the public and figures in music industry, but also from government officials. It was also found to be inappropriate for younger audiences and was rated R.

It appears that the reason why Heartbreaker received the award was the number of sales; the album sold over 120,000 copies as of late last month, making it one of the best selling albums of the year along with Super Junior’s Sorry Sorry and Seo Taiji’s two albums. If the album of the year award was based solely on the number of sales, then Heartbreaker deserves it. However, one must also take other factors into consideration. Heartbreaker has been received negatively by the public and the critics for plagiarism issues, and giving such an album the honour of being named the best of the year appears to be a little out of line. The problem is that Super Junior and Seo Taiji both did not make an appearance at MAMA, making it impossible to award the title to an album that is both high in sales record and free of negative criticism. Again, SM Entertainment’s boycott plays into the award.

Artist of the Year: 2PM

The Artist of the Year, while not as fiercely contested in public opinion as the other two main awards due to the sympathetic view Koreans hold regarding Jaebeom, is being debated over as well. There is no doubt that 2PM rose to immense fame – or notoriety – this year, but in order to qualify for the artist of the year award, it is implied that the artist must have made some musical achievement during the year. Has 2PM made enough musical progress to be named the artist of the year over many other talented nominees? Or, have they been given the award solely based on either the sympathy the nation feels for their loss or the drama value of them crying for Jaebeom?

Intentionally headline-grabbing award results?

If you have forgotten, MAMA had been claiming that they will have Jaebeom appear at the ceremony. Controversy is what they have been aiming for. While we’re on the topic of drama value, the appearance of three TVXQ members and their acceptance speech for the award of Best Representative of Asia best represents what MAMA aims to do with this ceremony. The three members appeared to accept a seemingly meaningless award, then gave “heartfelt” lines that no news reporter would pass up if they were in their right minds. The appearance of TVXQ members had nothing to do with giving an award to artists that have contributed to the Korean music industry; it was to create more controversy and attract more attention.

As discussed above, the reason behind the credibility of MAMA being under criticism is possibly due to the fact that its uncomfortable relationship with SME stopped SME’s artists from appearing at the ceremony, combined with the ceremony’s focus on more controversial, attention-grabbing content rather than fair and credible distribution of awards.

So what can Mnet do in order to improve MAMA? In my opinion, MAMA should minimize or get rid of the award ceremony format and stick to what it does the best: featuring special performances. Artists have put in lots of time and effort into preparing once-in-a-lifetime stages for the fans and it is unfortunate to see them being buried by controversy and drama surrounding awards. With their credibility down to the ground, perhaps Mnet should just focus on a concert-esque celebration rather than controversial awards that result in debates and boycotts. That way, we might get to see SME artists and trot singers perform in next year’s MAMA.

2º OBSERVATÓRIO FORA DO EIXO – CONFERÊNCIA LIVRE DE COMUNICAÇÃO
Quarta – 18 de novembro
Web Rádio Fora do Eixo e Freenode
Portais e redes de movimentos livres/alternativos/ independentes/solidários
Palestrantes – Vicente (Coolivre) + Daniel Tygel – (FBES – Forum Brasileiro de ECOSOL)

3 dimensoes na economia solidaria

- dimensoes economica – ausência de patrão e empregado (auto-gestão)
- cultural (jeito de nos relacionarmos uns com os outros)
- politico, “não estamos de brincadeira aqui” – questão social

é importante saber que para ter democracia em iniciativa econômica, as articulações deverão ser mantidas através de rede(s)

:. Rede diferente de cadeia

Rede econômica = iniciativas que estejam contribuindo uns com os outros

Cadeia = Quando um determinado produto, por exemplo, tem sua produção esteja na cadeia solidaria desde o início até o final.

-> Para isso é fundamental a informação, isso permite manter a economia possível de ser mantida;
Informação é estrategico para podermos avançar.

:. Fórum de economia solidária – solicitar a criação de uma secretaria de economia solidária, é preciso nos conhecer e saber onde estamos, para isso é necessário um mapeamento da economia solidária.

vários debates surgiram de como transformar os dados em informação qualificada.

Ai que surge a proposta do Cirandas, construção de um sistema solidário de rede. Ela se pauta em 4 dimensões:

1) caracteristica de rede social: temos várias conhecidas, orkut por exemplo, mas ela nao tem a característica de ser solidária;
2) recortes – possibilitar nessa rede processo de agregação de determinados tema, territórios, setor econômico, temática específica; evento específicos estará dentro da agenda nacional dependendo da temática;
3) Inteligência economica: é algo que está por trás do sistema e que permite cada empreendimento de economia solidária ter seu site. Colocar seus produtos e ter informações sobre esses sumos, aspecto geo diferenciado; oportunidade de ofertas de demandas; nucleo de consumos de coletivos;
4) intercomunicação com os sistemas; ao invés de investir numa logica microsoft de hegemonização de internet, estamos falando de protocolo de comunicação, todos possam se comunicar e todos possam ter informação de todos, o intuito é que o Cirandas possa dialogar com varias iniciativas tanto dentro quanto fora do Brasil.

.: Como estamos em sociadade em rede, a internet seria um tecido digital dessas redes.
O fato da construção do software livre, autônoma, prova que é possivel envolver tecnologia dentro de uma outra filosofia;

PERGUNTAS:

Marilia Sanches – O que é Software Livre ?
Software livre é como um movimento social que surge na epoca de 80, um estudante da faculdade se revolta com o que se surgia na época: Os softawares que sempre foram compartilhados em faculdades começam a ser vendidos para empresas que surgiam (microsoft e apple), transformando conhecimento em caixinhas de mercadorias, compra de conhecimentos produzidos em faculdades para monóplio de informação.

Software Livre
Liberdade total ao codigo-forte aberto
1) uso
2) acesso
3) aperfeiçoacao (copy left – dar acesso a aperfoiçoação)
4)

Linux – O software livre é produzido de forma colaborativo, mais seguro, melhor performance…

__

Pergunta – Alfa do Cubo:
Há um sistema de comercialização de produtos online? a rede teria a operacionalização necessária que dê suporte a isso?

Resposta:
tomaram a decisão de nao fazer comercialização online no Cirandas, é muito arriscado avançar para o comercio eletronico;
Porém não é algo que não possa ser transformado, a iniciativa da Fora do Eixo é fundamental pra gente avançar, é so se articulando que a gente pode avançar.
____

Pergunta – D2, Massa: Como é a Coolivre, como ela é alto-gerida?

Resposta: A coolivre é uma iniciativa de movimentos sociais, economia solidaria e softaware livre. Foi formada pela união de estudantes de administração e de comuputação da UFA. Os de administração estudaram durante todo o curso ferramentas para serem implemntadas no campo da economia solidáriae quando se formaram conheceram os estudantes de computação, ai nasce desses dois sonhos, viver de economia solidaria e viver de software livre. Não conheciamos nenhum outro modelo de gestão de economia solidaria, a auto gestao, que não tivesse ninguem patrão e empregado, ai começa todo o processo de readequação. Funciona assim: Todos tem o valor da hora igual, estando no segundo semestre da faculdade ou no mestrado. É uma postura bem radical de autogestão, não tem diferenciação nenhuma de hora, a gente ta conseguindo manter esse padrão ate por que o nossos trabalhos nos permite, o conhecimento nao esta na faculdade, está na internet.

Moda e estilo YG Family!

O Big Bang GDragon e a 2NE1 CL usaram o mesmo casaco. GDragon o usou durante sua entrevista para Mnet 20’s Choice enquanto CL usou o casaco para executar musical o Rua 21 no Mnet Asian Music Awards na semana passada.
