Richie Plastikman Hawtin offered a no questions asked EUR2,500 reward this week after thieves stole his laptop and ipads while he was staying in Paris.

“To all my French fans, friends and supporters. I need your help!” the Canadian minimal techno star pleaded in a posting on his label site M-nus.com.

“On Friday night someone broke into my hotel room at Hotel Costes in Paris and stole my iPod and 2 x Plastikman Live iPads (serial #GB01723UZ38 and #GB0129CAZ3A) and my Plastikman Live show Apple Macbook Pro 17″ laptop (serial #C02CK0GXDC7C),” he wrote.

“I am asking everyone to keep their ears and eyes open for any information about these very important and personal items. I’m offering a 2500 EUR reward for any information that leads to the return of the equipment. Please email me at x@m-nus.com. If found/returned I will NOT prosecute any one involved as I would just like to have my equipment returned,” he added.

Describing themselves as being ‘in one of the trendiest areas’ in Paris . . . very much appreciated by the trendy crowd’ in one press release, the 4 star Hotel Costes attracted a less euphoric review on travel portal Europeforvisitors.com who labelled it a ‘super fashionable designer hotel in eclectic French Empire brothel style”.

“This is a hotel for the thick-skinned fashion follower or the thin-skinned celebrity who doesn’t mind a guest pecking order and a staff with attitude,” the site suggested. “Very busy at all times of year, the balcony rooms are best, and the courtyard dining is attractive.”

On 12 February 2009, 100+ cities around the world will be hosting
Twestivals bringing together local Twitter communities for an evening
of fun as well as raising money and awareness for Charity: water. Twestival.fm is a global online music project in association with Twestival aiming to raise an additional $20,000 for charity.

They're now looking for artists, musicians and labels using Twitter
who would like to give something back to the community and donate a
track. You’ll be helping raise money for a good cause and promoting
your music to an audience of tens of thousands. They also expect
international press attention and plenty of buzz in the Twitterverse.

All donated tracks will be made available to stream and download for free via the Twestival.fm player (powered by SoundCloud ).
The player will be available to the general public from 5th to 19th
February. Visitors to the Twestival.fm site are asked to leave a
voluntary donation or ‘tip’ (using Tipjoy) in a Radiohead-style ‘pay what you want’ manner. All tips will be given in full to Charity:Water and the most generous tippers listed on the site.

get more info about this nice project on the Twestival.fm and/or the Twestival homepage.

In more than 140 characters, on the Pandora blog: After a yearlong negotiation, Pandora,
artists and record companies are finally optimistic about reaching an
agreement on royalties that would save Pandora and Internet radio. But
just as we’ve gotten close, large traditional broadcast radio companies
have launched a covert lobbying campaign to sabotage our progress.
