YouTube

It's said that if you put a million monkeys at a million typewriters, eventually you will get the works of William Shakespeare. When you put together a million humans, a million camcorders, and a million computers, what you get is YouTube.

And there they are, in the bedrooms and dorms and cubicles of the world, uploading their asses off, more than 65,000 times a day on YouTube alone.

"If you aren't posting, you don't exist," says Rishad Tobaccowala, CEO of Denuo, a new media consultancy. "People say, 'I post, therefore I am.'"

BONGO NATION are Geordie Gardiner and Tom Ludvigson playing their ownroots reggae and dub inspired repertoire. The roots of the BONGO NATIONproject go back to early summer 2005 when Geordie and Tom were on tourin Northland with an Auckland reggae band. Inspired by that experience,Tom spent the rest of that summer tracing the roots of Jamaican dub toAfrican drum music while writing his own BONGO NATION riddims.As the collection of new riddims grew Tom created the BONGO NATIONwebsite and started posting recordings of the new riddims on the web.By early autumn Geordie had joined the project, the duo now jamming onthe BONGO NATION riddims and letting them grow into songs.Towards then end of winter there was enough new BONGO NATION songs torecord and produce an EP. Recording sessions were held in August 2006at Aucklands Rockynook Studios. The outcome of these sessions was thefour songs that make up the BONGO NATION EP Good Vibration.

Brave New World

Today Google rules a total database of hundreds of petabytes, swelled every 24 hours by terabytes of Gmails, MySpace pages, and dancing-doggy videos – a relentless march of daily deltas, each larger than the whole Web of a decade ago.
