Yildiz Technical University Architectural Department now has kayitdisi.org and their first event turns out to be a design week! From looking at their site I can tell there are many designers and artists invited to participate. Between February 4th and February 9th workshops and talks will be held. On February 5th Tuesday, starting at 10am (till 12pm) Murat Germen, Ali Miharbi and I will be clustering around the concepts of social web, location, connectivity, deterritorialization and collective intelligence during a two hours talk. Please visit kayitdisi.org website for more information and updates.

Last year, I’ve mostly listened to old stuff, some d-i-r-t-y playlists and some Fingertracks, regularly checked Bumrocks and Robots in Heat. Then I spent all my pocket money on Ebay hunting old titles I have discovered from mentioned sites. And honestly I haven’t pay attention to music stores selling new music really. But there are two exceptions to this: first Skull Disco stuff released early last year and Studio’s Yearbook #1 album. I am no big music magazine editor to sell you these albums but I can safely suggest you to check them both titles (I assume you are coming from a balearic disco or kraut-rock party.)
