Vertical Integration
dalasverdugo said: I just saw a TV commercial for Radiohead “In_Rainbows” and it reminded me of how I used to see lots of late night commercials for NIN, back before anyone know who the fuck they were (1990? 91?). It’s interesting that Trent has always been deep into marketing his band. jakoblodwick says: It’s sad that musicians aren’t always invovled in the marketing...

The feedback on the plastic card debacle may have had something to do with this. — marco HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. RIGHT. THE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK OF A BUNCH OF TECHIES ON A COUPLE OF BLOGS MADE SONYBMG ALL OF THE SUDDEN DECIDE THAT SELLING DRM-FREE TRACKS ON AMAZON WAS THE NEXT MOVE. GET. A. CLUE. UPDATE: I’ve been thinking more about this post. It seems to me that this is a good example of...

Apes & Androids
I’ve only listened to one song from Apes & Androids. The Tumblr world seems to have a lot of love for this band, so I gave their free download of “Golden Prize” a listen. Certain qualities of their music/sound, made me think of three bands: Korn, Queen, and Muse. As I was listening, about halfway through the song, I noticed a melody line that had a very interesting...

Thoughts Regading Urine Receptacles
While I was relieving myself this morning I had the following thought, “I wish i worked for American Standard - I would totally revamp the design of their urinals.” I have always thought that the universal urinal structure and design is less than optimal and desperately in need of a more functional layout. First, I would cut the width in half - no one needs to be able to pivot 45...
Why Sony's DRM-free Idea Won’t Work →
cubicle17 says: John Scalzi explains exactly how disconnected from this planet Sony is. (via Jay) Two exerpts, and my reactions: “Kid #1: Also, what’s with this first slate of artists? Celine Dion? Backstreet Boys? Kenny Chesney? Barry Manilow? Are you high?” First sign that this program is not aimed at a tech savvy consumer - i.e. the dude who wrote the post. “Kid #1: Why don’t...

jakoblodwick liked this quotation: ‘Sony wants me to think the plastic card is a “collectible”, but I don’t want the clutter. I have enough plastic cards in my life. All I really want is the music, which unfortunately the “collectible” plastic card doesn’t contain.’ Andrew says: It saddens me to say this (because I am of the album-art-is-beautiful school of thought) but why would you...

MY NEW RED FOX DOLL circa 1975
— travie Yo Trav - don’t you wish you could’ve made that ’fox doll entry’ (2 pics + header) in one post? Yo Tumblr - I hope that somewhere in the “update rollout” list is the user’s option to include more than one form of ‘media’ in a single ‘post’. NOTE: I know that this post doesn’t really make sense. I could only...
“A lot of these tests have led people to believe that maybe this works.”
– A SONY BMG executive who asked not to be identified in this article. LOL. Rule of thumb: Neverevereverevereverever be quoted saying the word people. What the hell does people mean in this situation? The assistant and intern?
