The trailer for the upcoming 30-minute long Fight for your Right Revisited:
I like the way you told him not to talk anymore. I thought that was really good.
I’ve been meaning to post this ultrasound photo from a few weeks ago. He’s due August 2, so if they bring him up quickly he’ll be postseason eligible.
In honor of LCD Soundsystem’s final show, m ss ng p eces has posted an edited version of an interview they shot with James Murphy in 2006 – around the time that online music sales and taste engines (“if you like x, then check out y”) supplanted the music store experience.

from the video description:
To assist in the pangs of LCD withdrawal we watched an interview we shot with James Murphy back in the summer of 2006. It was a 30 minute interview which we’ve cut into 9 minutes for your viewing pleasure. Murphy shares his thoughts on musical discovery, the future of taste, artistic value in the face of technology and what he did with our plot device, something.

I keep arguing in conversations with friends that – once some solid metrics start emerging about the cost/benefit of investing in social media – I think we’ll see cooler heads prevail.
This sort of sets the stage for that kind of scrutiny. Business Insider has an article about some Twitter API data that someone collected and analyzed. Twitter boasts 175 million registered users, but according to their own measure of an “active user” (following at least 30 accounts with a third of those following back), the API data showed that less than 21 million Twitter accounts are active.
The data from the API also showed that 56 million Twitter users are following zero accounts, while 90 million users have zero followers.
I think it would be interesting if someone figured out how to sort by type of user – whether they’re essentially selling or buying. I think that if you were able to pull the sellers out of that pool of 21 million active users, you’d see a dwindling audience that is actually listening.
I’m not saying it’s useless. But it’s a tool, not a solution.
who’s crying for america now, eh?
sing it, brother (and cultish family with disturbing father/god figure)!
Personally, I’ve grown tired of Enema Man’s constant rage, even if his phrasing is still the most complex. But I’ll always hold a place in my heart for Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dog.
I’m hearing it’s going to be called SkankJank this year.
I repeat my prediction: 2011 will see a marked decline in participation and the perceived value of social media. just saying.
