Sept 11, 2001 - Good evening, Ladies and gentlemen. I am Jim Klove, the manager of The Beaybrothers - Band. The events that took place today were horrible for America. I pray for the souls of innocent people who died in this inhumane act of violence. This tragedy might have touched the Beatbrothers a little too close, eventhough we don't have enough information. The fact is, DJ Beatsanov and DJ Bigfoot might have been on the plane that saddly crashed into the WestWing. We received no information from them since this morning,6am, when they were at the airport. We will try to keep you updated.
Sept 2, 2001 - We're on our way to.. Guess where ? North America !! God bless The United States Of America, as Elwood Blues once said. After we crossed the field, we found a nice little town where we met a few immigrants who spoke English. They told us that the nearest airport is 10 miles from there, so we started walking. At the airport they wouldn't let us (well, that was logical), but the pilot assistants recognized us ! It was quite a surprise to find our fans here ! Now we're in a cargo plane flying towards Florida, where the Green CD Presentation Tour should have started 5 days ago :( ...
August 27 2001 - This is nuts! The batteries are dead and I'm pretty sure, we won't be able to go on-line till we get new ones. But, here's good news - we crossed the forrest (it was ca. 17 miles in radius!) and now we're in a field. A *field*, ladies and gentlemen ! It can only mean that the civilization is not far away and we're going north now (DJ Bigfoot : "Why north ?") The only problem right now is our outfit - over 1 week in mud and water, no change.. Now it's dryed up and the cloth feels very coarse and sticky. Well, we'll survive
August 22 2001 - Just taking a break. Wheew, we've been running all night long - thanks Teggno, the ground is flat and you don't have to look ahead to run quickly. 8 hours of running, but the landscape remains the same. But something tells me, we're on the right way. If we aren't - we're dead meat by tomorrow, because the food supply is nil. 2 hours of sitting-under-a-tree and then the marathon continues
August 21 2001 - eXtreme ! The river ended in a rock-it-down-the-street waterfall and we managed to get away from there. We climbed out to the dry land and continued our journey from there on. We climbed down the rocks (I almost let the laptop fall!) and now we're in a huge forrest. The trees surround us, but the river is still there, but much slower and quieter. The situation is quite hopeless, so we decided to run for our lives. If we walk slowly - we'll never reach the end of this damn forrest by the end of the week. So, we're resting now (in peace ;) but in 2 hours we start the Beatbrothers marathon. From here to don't know where...
August 20 2001 - last night was rather disturbing.. We've discovered that the grass at the shore is filled with animals and some of them sound pretty omnivorous and big. Also, stupid insects won't give us a minute of freedom buzzing around attempting to bite a pice o' us.. Sleeping in the cold water mixed with mud and plants isn't that exciting and the river's streams are getting wider and more powerful, so it's very difficult to hang on a plant to rest.. My arm's getting swollen, holding up the laptop is a pain in the butt and the dark clouds are ready to pour some H2O on our heads any minute. The trees at the shore disappeared, so we're an easy target if the hunters come back. But swimming in the water brought us some valuable drum'n'bass beats as well as a techno-loop, DJ Bigfoot came up with. In case we get to see our studio, we're going to record them. That's a promise.
August 17 2001 - No it's impossible - the batteries are dead. We tried to repost today's message 7 times, but the laptop simply turns off due to lacking energy supply.. Don't know if it's gonna work this time.. we put the laptop on the water plants while we rested yesterday so the keyboard is now covered with some green goo.. This is nuts! But thanks Teggno, DJ Bigfoot discovered a juicy plant that grows near the shore that tastes pretty cool. Not quite pizza, but still some Carbon-supply... Now the water is getting clear and the river turns to the south, so we actually are going somewhere. We just need a civilized place where we could hi-jack a plane to US.
August 16 2001 - D-Oh, I thought, we'll never get the laptop running again - I dropped it into the swamp (try swimming with one arm up all the time..). Our way along the river is getting worse and worse - more and more water plants are blocking the way and it's impossible to get to the shore to rest a bit. In addition, we don't know where we're going. It also seems, that the river is making a twist 2 miles ahead and it *might* bring us to the hunters again. The clothes are soaked and dirty, goo all over the body. Sshhhhit! Also, there's nothing to eat. DJ Bigfoot even said, that it would have been better if we stayed in the village. But we cannot miss the grand-opening of the Green CD in California August 30th.
August 14 2001 - There are 2 ways - drop the laptop and lose connection to y'all, or swim along the streams with one hand up all the time... We're at the river, the hunters have disappeared. It's sunny and windy, the clouds are above our heads and insects are chirping in the high lake-grass. The river looks more like a moving swamp, but we've got to get into. Even if we decide to throw the laptop away, we'll let you know for the last time tomorrow....
August 13 2001 - Hehe, DJ Bigfoot's better now, though his ankle is still sore. I got him, we're relatively safe (for now), I helped him to get here from the bushes. We're in a deep hole in the ground, looks a bit like a cave. We wouldn't risk to lite a fire here (we even don't have anything to do so, as a matter of fact :) The cave's "floor" is all-rock, so the sleeping isn't that comfortable here.. The "walls" are all-rock as well, except for the one one the right : it's partly soil. Too good, we don't have any bags with us :) Unfortunately we don't know if they left or not. If they did, we can get to the river tonight and swim.. The only problem, as Bigfoot pointed out, the water might be freezing... and what do we do with the laptop ?!
August 10 2001 - Crap, now I even don't know what's with DJ Bigfoot. Around 8pm, we decided to run out of the bushes and crawl down to the river, that can be seen from this little hill. If we get to the river - we're outta here. But when we left the bushes, we saw some guys approaching, so I kept on crawling, but DJ Bigfoot gave up and hid himself in the bush behind (remember, he's got an injured ankle?). So now I'm ,relatively safe, under some overhang, hidden in tall grass, but my brother is in trouble : they can find him anytime. What I'm going to do is, I'll leave this safe place and return to get Bigfoot. If I have to drag him, we're in trouble, hopefully he's feelin' better by now. The hunters moved easterly, but still they are searching this area.
August 9 2001 - Shake Shake Shake Your Booty! I'm quite sure, it's our last post... just as planned, we jumped down the tree and ran along the left side of the valley.. DJ Bigfoot hurt his ankle thx to the jump and the slippery ground. We're right now under some bushy leaves of some plant. The village guys are lurking around. Most of them surrounded us, they don't know exactly where we are. Some of them went northly, though. Now we're stuck BIG-TIME. If we escape, they'll catch us for sure.. sitandwaitsitandwait...
August 7 2001 - Crap, we should have run down the valley yesterday. Now they of course saw that we escaped and now they are searching for us. We have to stay on this tree, while some of them are already searching the valley and the surroundings. We cannot wait 'till they find us, in 10 minutes we jump down and run down the valley a bit easterly from where they are right now. The sunset is soon, so it will give us an advantage. DJ Bigfoot is nervous, I'm shaking, too. Wish us luck
August 6 2001 - Son of a gun, we did it ! We broke the window and run out. There was really a pretty tall fence, but we climbed over it (thanks Teggno, we had no bags:). What we saw next : trees and houses. Where did we go ? To the trees, but there was a lil surprise waiting for us - there were just a few trees, not enough to hide or something. Down there we can see an open valley, and they will see us for sure if we run there.. For now, we're sitting on the tree panting. Dagnabit, this is the most insecure position, but we've got to take chances..
August 5 2001 - Now! We're still in here, we decided to wait one more day, because the weather was terrible yesterday. In 10 minutes we'll break the window and try to escape. The only thing we know is that there's a relative high fence around our 'prison' and that there are lotsa trees on the other side. We'll try to rush there and hide in the trees. What's next ? No idea, we'll think of something... If they catch us - too bad, it was nice knowing y'all...
August 3 2001 - Oh, crap !! We just realized that we've got The Green CD Presentation Tour in a few weeks. We GOT TO GET out of here. It cannot wait. Tomorrow we'll try to break out. DJ Bigfoot prepares our stuff and some food for the way. We'll keep ya updated.. Tomorrow, when the sun rises, we'll break the window and try to escape from here.
July 26 2001 - Aw shoot, the batteries are dead, man we took them out and put them back in - it gives us around 1 minute of working-time with the laptop. The thing have been terrible last week - strong winds almost break the small shack.. The roof's gone leaking, rain is streaming down, the walls are wet. It's uncomfortable to sleep on wet floor, and the warden doesn't bring any news/food. The only thing that cheers me up here is that DJ Bigfoot's inventing "Beats Of The Day"... Hopefully see ya later. DJ Beatsanov
July 19 2001 - First off, I'd like to thank you, our fans. Especially THX_MM, Anja Stark and others who added a few irresistable comments to the "Beatbrothers" guestbook over the last few days. But now I'd like to ask you to stop writing any comments. Why ? Very simple : We won ! They offered us peace and we kindly accepted it. Should we set up a museum of our victories :) ? Well, we're glad that everything worked out once again !
July 17 2001, no not again. Remember the great battle between us and 'Beatbrothers' from UK (or was it Canada ?).. Anyways - we won (check the archive) !! And what do we get now ? You won't believe it - it's 2 teenagers from Germany who also call themselves 'Beatbrothers' !! The God works in mysterious ways. And everything would be just fine - but no ! They aren't mature enough to keep their jealous thoughts, so they wrot some disgusting and insulting comments in our guestbook. For the love of God, we wanted peace, but they want to fight. I suggest that all of you go to their website and please, please, please laugh your butt off while listening to their only mix !! I'm so disappointed that some people just cannot be mature...
July 10 2001 - Drum an bass, you gotta read today's guestbook entry written by Satan himself (it's in German). Holly crap, The Godfather of Soul James Brown is coming to Ottawa's Blues Fest this month, but we cannot shake his hand, because we're stuck in this hellhole. The weather is changing constantly, we have rainy sky with lots of clouds. Insects are bugging, too. DJ Bigfoot is in depression, because we both miss cheering concert stages filled with platinum sound equipment.. It seems that the village prepares for the big celebration. We'll have to take part in this fest. Either we'll have to groove the stage, or they'll eat us. Or at least sacrifice. Life is wonderful!
July 5 2001 - Happy independence day ! Techno around the world and new funky logo ! The day was great - nice weather, sunny, more food and freedom.
July 3 2001 - The Beatbrothers are Rockin' da jail !! We found some sticks made of wood and put on a groove this village has never seen before ! Getting sounds out of walls, tables and ground, DJ Beatsanov and DJ Bigfoot grooved the chinese people. Techno was flowing from house to house and bouncing off the walls of those wooden shacks. They weren't trying to stop us, instead they started moving in a strange way (dance!?). This evening the food was reach and tastefull and they talked to us in low voice...
July 1 2001 - magic never seen before images from the Germany 1999 BatBrat Tour are up !! It took us quite a while to get to them, because of our strange position right now, but we did it ! Check it out. And it's Canada day, by the way! Happy celebration Canada (we could be there, if those stupid gangsters wouldn't touch the BB plane). Everything else is ok so far. They did let us out for a walk, and they also provided a lot of food. Strange, I don't get it...
June 29 2001 - This friggin village people are getting crazier all the time. They did not let us out today, and did not give us any food. Looked like they were praying the whole day, because we didn't see anybody... There's a nice peach tree on the other side of the room [you can reach it out of the window] where we're locked - DJ Bigfoot has discovered it. More or less, we're Ok..
June 27 2001 - Man, are we lucky ! Seems that the whole crew who worked with us is not reachable currently.. We e-mailed everybody five times, but they won't answer.. Guess, we're stuck pretty bad here. Anyways, they let us out of the jail, but they still keep an eye on us and they won't let us leave. Today we spent the whole day walking around the village (looking for an escape possibility), but it seems, that they have guards everywhere. The weather's getting worse - it's monsun time, hot, winds etc. I'm amazed where they get the water from - the soil is as dry as a surface of a Roland-707...
June 25 2001 - Yesterday when I was browsing through mp3 files, I discovered a great musician - Mr. Maloi (Mr. Little) from Russia. He uses Techno music to protect the world from drugs and corruption ! They still feed us pretty good, but do not let out from the building (jail)..
June 24 2001 - Friggin ! They did not let us out - that was their little secret... Yesterday we tried to quietly leave the village, but they caught us and put in some kind of jail (ok, at least something NOT new). We don't know what they want from us, but we came up with two possible theories - either they want to eat/sacrifice us, or they want us to take part in the dance content. We are not going to leave in the next few days.. We still get food supply - they probably want us to get as fat as possible. I'm not sure if they can achieve that by feeding us lettuce and apples...
June 21 2001 - Excellent, these Chinese guys do know medecine - using plants they healed Dj Bigfoot's wound in no time. Still there is this communication problem - they only speak Cantonese and nothing else. I think they tried to tell us that they have seen our plane, but I'm not certain.. May be they meant some other air craft. If it's true - we're rescued. They also showed us some strange wood they have here (you ask me - perfect material for an amplifier) - very porous and light. People live pretty quitly in this village, no war, no hate. Pretty nice. And they dance ! I'd almost stay here longer, but they do not have Roland TR 909 !! We gotta get out of here, man.. Tomorrow, we're leaving.
June 18 2001 - Shoot, this has never happened to us before. After we left the village 3 days ago, there's nothing around us. But suddenly, we've seen smoke coming out of the mountains and hills - we headed there and... There's some kind of underground tribe. They welcomed us and gave us clean clothes and food. As far as we're concerned , they make music. Strange, crazy beats. Broken drum loops and lotsa snare and clap sounds.. But we've been told that, we must face a challenge - every month there's a huge dance festival and we'll have to attend. No problemo !! Especially with DJ Bigfoot's danz power and DJ Beatsanov's craziest hand-moves !! However there's some kind of a secret :{
