Seams like Monkey On The Orb has new fellow. František Zachoval made an interview with Jirka Dolezal, who is a 8 bit specialist in the middle Europe. I’m sorry guys we cannot add English subtitles on top of the stream :), because this is a grate 16 bit overview of 8 bit scene in Czech republic. What you could get if you understand Czech is the history of Czechoslovak PMD (Piešťansky mikropočítac displejovy), Didaktik, Ondra, Honza, IQ computers and other clones of Synclair and later IBM computers.
We touched Karel a learning tool a program by whom you can learn the basic syntax of programming language and Petr that was something!
Finally we even touched the Slušovice phenomenon, Demo culture… I’m soooo sorry you won’t understand it :DDDDD
…Slovak for ever.

Jack we call it here, is the most known audio-cable-tailpiece for most of us who has something to do with “music”.
Even when you want to make a good noise you have to have a good schielded cable which doesn’t add unwanted noise into the whole process ;]
Once upon a time in the deep woods of even deeper cannibalistic Slovak republic where they eat Americans just for pleasure, couple overeaten Slovaks together with even worst Czechs accidentally joined two “male” jacks. The whole audio system stacked on the beginning, then start to produce a hum, around 50Hz, that’s the frequency we in forgotten east have in our sockets. And what you think has happened?
As they where fully eaten up and happy they start to dance on that beat. Some of them in their deliriums where lucky and joined other Jacks this time in to female audio sockets and it all starts to produce grate quivers and trembles and so here is the result. A new song in our playlist. Here they are JACKJACK, that’s how they call them selfs since then.
I’m happy to invite you to /tmp/ Sound attack party where you can listen to you some known & unknow (only for those who do not listen our radio indeed) however interesting music individuals born, live and work in our central europiean suburb.
