The Incubate gospel according to’ section gives you Incubate 2010 tips from insiders. Seventh one: Bob van Heur.
1.Who are you?
Bob van Heur – a guy who promotes shows, books european tours, manages a DJ, organizes a festival and does a two monthly club-night and creates ideas. A never-ending story.
2.What will you be doing during Incubate 2010 (Sept. 12-19)? Will be watching ODDSAC and hopefully see all shows of the bands I’m working with. And DJ-ing on friday night as the Le Guess Who? DJ Crew together with my partner for Le Guess Who? Festival Johan Gijsen.
3.Which three artists do you recommend to see at Incubate 2010? (These do not have to be strictly music, of course) Unfortunately I’m on tour till the 16th myself so have to miss the first days and miss my brother Bas van Heur doing a discussion panel on the first day – 12th September, The Ex and the Turkish Star Trek movie on the 13th, Women, Idiot Glee, Neon Indian, Space Siren on the 14th, the always amazing Lucky Dragons on the 15h and Frog Pocket on the 16th. But luckily there is much more beautiful bands and artist to see on the other dates.
3 tips:
1) The Glocal projects: Black Mountain in the amphitheatre. Perfect and unique location to see this band – friday 17th, Dan Deacon and Jimmy Joe Roche and probably the craziest movie you will ever see on the 18th and Ben Chasny on the 19th
2) The best band from Finland and one of the best bands around – Circle.
3) Richard Youngs – just go and listen to it. too beautiful to describe.

Incoming message from ROAR E-Zine, one of the 20 teams at the HMB event:
The 16th of September, they are there! At the Incubate Heavy Metal Bowling, this team will be a challenge for every other team in the bowling hall. Especially when it comes to drinking beers and partying as hard as possible. To scare you even more, they introduce themselves on their website ROAR E-Zine.com with some tough guy- and girl, pictures. See you there pussies!
The great design for the bowling-team you see on top is made by Nikki Smits.

You can find news, the time schedule, the program and all other info at incubate-innovation.org. Let us know what you think about the event on Twitter and use #ipc10 as hashtag. We’re very curious to hear from you! Also let your fellow pirates know on LinkedIn that you will be attending.
To get into the program and the piracy discussion, watch this video of a speech Matt gave at the Deutscher Trendtag last year. In this presentation, he discusses the topics of his book. Entitled The Pirate’s Dilemma: How Youth Culture Is Reinventing Capitalism, he talks about how underground cultures have brought on the most innovative ideas, which later often have been adopted by many businesses. He also explains how to compete with piracy, stating that it not only has negative effects but that pirates sometimes also create solutions that literally change people’s lives. Again, his conclusion is very clear and clever: if you want to beat pirates, copy them.
“Two years in the making, The Pirate Bay – Away From Keyboard is a documentary about three computer addicts who revolutionized the world of media distribution with their hobby homepage. How did Tiamo, a beer crazy hardware fanatic, Brokep a tree hugging eco activist and Anakata, a paranoid cyber libertarian, get the White House to threaten the Swedish government with trade sanctions? TPB AFK explores what Hollywood’s most hated pirates go through on a personal level.” You can read more about it here.
Even way before downloading the record industry already regarded piracy as a problem. The only difference is, then they didn’t fear digital copies on computers, but analog copies on 8-track tapes! And apparently it upset Jerry Lee Lewis most of all, as you can read under Lewis One-Man Pirat Smasher. This bulletin was printed on Mercury/Philips/Vertigo record sleeves for some years during the mid-seventies. Click here for a larger version.
