The Sony Music Timeline celebrates “125 years of musical history covering almost 150 square meters of wall space in Sony’s Derry Street offices. Using just CNC cut vinyl as the sole medium, 54 columns measuring over 2 meters tall cover feature nearly 1000 of Sony Music’s signed artists from 1887 to the present day.” I’m [...]
A memo from record producer Teo Macero to Columbia/CBS Records executives prior to the release of Miles Davis’ groundbreaking album, Bitches Brew. I don’t have faintest idea why there aren’t more Miles Davis sketch comedy routines in this world. [via thehighdef]
Do you have ten minutes to spare or need an election day distraction? Of course you do! What better way than to spend that time watching the hilarious cast be even more hilarious. (It’s also possible I’ve already posted this before, but don’t remember doing so. Either way) [via devour]
If you asked me who should direct ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’ I would tell you I have no earthly idea. I think I would prefer a relatively lesser-known director, like say Matthew Vaughn (hint, hint), who has the chops to pull off the movie successfully (like what Marvel does for most of its movies) rather [...]
During Hurricane Sandy, Queens-based comedian Avery Monsen passed the time in the best way possible by editing himself into the famous whipped-cream scene from ‘Varsity Blues’. It’s both poorly done and ridiculously funny. I’m talking about JVDB’s Texas accent, obviously. [via vulture]
I had football on in the background Sunday while putzing around the house, when the CBS post-game show cut to Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano’s post-game victory speech. Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia and has missed a few games for treatment. Anyway, this was his first time back and midway through his speech, Lady Oyster [...]
Nick Bilton got the scoop: “In the coming months, Twitter plans to update its mobile applications to introduce filters for photos that will allow people to share altered images on Twitter and bypass Instagram, the popular mobile-centric photo-sharing network, according to people who work at the company but asked not to be named as they [...]
The more recent cover New York Magazine features an incredible photo by Iwan Baan showing the blackout in lower Manhattan after Hurricane Sandy. It’s a perfect bookend to the recent cover by Bloomberg Businessweek. Baan’s photo of lower Manhattan is difficult to stomach.
Doesn’t matter if you vote for Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, or Gary Johnson (he’s the Libertarian Party candidate, btw), so long as you get out and vote on Tuesday, despite who Will Ferrell says you should vote for.
This was probably the best bit from Louis C.K.’s hosting gig on SNL this weekend. Actually, all the bits with C.K. were funny.
