Below you will find the past 6 months of imputor? news. Anything older than that is more obsolete than that supercomputer you bought yesterday.
If you want, you can check out older news too.

Who doesn't like mazes? Here's a real-life maze with some special imputor? buddies lost somewhere inside!
"In conjunction with San Diego Contemporary Art Fair and Arts Month San Diego, Space 4 Art will invite the public to roam a maze of 35 individual artist studios, installations, and music stages filled with zithers, home-made synthesizers, toy pianos, and custom-hacked pianos. Meet the artists. Hear some music. See the studios. Check out the show in the gallery."
Aspects of Physics will be able to be found somewhere in the maze, their first performance in over a year.
It happens September 4th @ Space 4 Art - 325 15th Street, San Diego, 92101

THis week the almost completly sold out DJs on Strike 12" is a pick on turntablelab.com Grab one from turntable lab before they are all gone...!! ?? they also wrote this review: "It happens to the best of em. Woodman and K.Lim, one time downtempo-loving Lab interns, got seduced by the Roc and his big money gigs, trading in their MoWax and fake Bape (looking at you Woodman) for AV8s and bpm stickers. These days, if you want to follow in their footsteps, you’ll need to be able to toss not only the commercial set, but the tightly mixed rock set. Here's where this record comes in. No more sloppy switches to get "Teen Spirit" into the mix. The DJs On Strike have added beats, done some club friendly re-editing, and most importantly added mixable intros and outtros. The clueless wall streeters won't know what the fuck hit em. This is awesome. The best part is that the original rock feel is kept intact, this ain't no trance cinema bitch! "Smells Like(1)" is the easy pick, but I'm predicting the "Lithium" remix(2) is the one that's gonna smell it up." and there are sound clips./.....
We've just gotten word that Plastiq Phantom will have an exclusive new track appearing in the currently-being-produced feature documentary about BOB MOOG. A track will also be appearing on the soundtrack alongside artists such as Stereolab, The Neptunes, Devo, Meat Beat Manifesto, Tortoise, DJ Spooky, The Cure, Money Mark, Luke Vibert, The Album Leaf, and others.

Go see the new Russel Crowe movie "Master and Commander" or whatever it is called, you will see imputor? cohort WANK CHOPS star in about 1.5 seconds of the film. in his 1.5 seconds of fame, you will see wank chops' face, swiftly followed by an elbow smashing into it! Wank Chops was going to be the star of the big battle scene at the end, but the pussy director cut all the bloody fight out to bring the rating from an R down to a PG-13. What a gyp.
Otto, has quite a few great pukes for his puke album *gasp* but check it -- he wants to accept submissions until he gets off his rocking fall tour de los guapos con leche with schematic-- so check the tour dates and send in your submissions for impuketor!!!
