Shepard Fairey? Meh.

Sure. During World War II, pennies were made of steel to save copper for the war effort. People tend to change real quick when needed.

Holy cow! The carrot army is everywhere.

Here's one I found about a year ago, that I converted to a Viagra advertisement as a class project: http://www.ashadeofgrey.net/ctlw/assets/projects/Message-Design.jpg

Has anyone tried..standing in front of it?

I hate when the ads come into the content.

really? no comments?

damn my lack of cable!

i would be thrilled if you posted their results here on wednesday.

Papyrus? Nooo!

Seriously though, this is a great idea for a documentary and looks really well done.

I hope it is funded so it's finished as well.

If this is a perpetual motion machine, why isn't it running when the video starts? I suppose he had to demonstrate how it works, but if I got one started, I'd certainly not want to shut it off.

I suppose that's why I'm not a scientist, though.

I see one. Look, there it is.

It's hard for me to fathom that a record exec wouldn't want to entirely cut the cost of pressing records. Selling MP3s is way more cost effective than selling CDs.

Even if Mr. Morris doesn't know this, it seems he's in the position to figure it out or at least have someone explain it to him.

The first corporation to actually give people what they want is going to make a ton of money, in my opinion.

I, along with most other people, don't mind paying for a record, assuming I'll be able to listen to it how I choose.

Interesting article, nonetheless.

It's kind of amazing to hear all these stories.

I had a really shitty waiter at an Applebees in Arizona once. So, naturally, I left him a .37 tip. (Yes, I realize this is extremely rude, but this guy deserved it.)

When I got home, I discovered that he had written in an extra 10$ for his troubles.

I notified the Applebees with no good response- only an offer to refund the 10$ sans apology. So, I followed my way up the corporate chain and ended up with a fairly decent gift card for my troubles.

They never let the guy go. It seems stealing from customer's is appropriate behavior.

I definitely would like to see an RSS, or other functionality. Is this data being displayed anywhere? If not, what's the point in favoriting?

Thanks for the wonderful blog and new features though.

"But if that's the case, how come Radiohead isn't on iTunes, when other EMI artists are?"

Perhaps, and this is pure speculation, their contract states that mp3s can only be distributed as an entire album. If that were the case, iTunes would only be considered if they could offer that alternative. I'm assuming they refused to change their rules.

Radiohead are a bunch of cash-cows, and EMI is there to cash in.

Half the fun in buying a new (or old) Radiohead CD is thumbing through Stanley's artwork while listening to the music.

Not tempting in any way. I'll put my CDs in a box and be just as happy.

Oh, and I think they still believe their records should be listened to entirely through. They were recorded and assembled cohesively for a reason.

ha!

this reminds me of a stop motion animation my friend damon made: http://www.damonmcintyre.com/portfolio/animation/cerealcillers1.mov

What mistakes have you made that you think others could learn from?

Do you have any pointers for those just getting into the field?

Any advice for students?

How do you deal with plagiarism?

At what point does inspiration become imitation?

What is the best interview question you could ever be asked?

What question have you been dying someone to ask you?

What are three things you want to do before you die?

fuck. yes.

i think we've all been waiting for this for a long time.

To me, it looks like a crappy old, low-res record club ad--a little bit bigger.

Not only is it old, it's veeerrry trashily written. That reporter should be fired, hired again, and fired a second time for good measure. Nobody should print stories like that and call it "reporting".

The new times commonly report stories in that fashion.

That is vile. do you have any idea how smart octopuses are?

And, if they were stupid, would it still be ok to eat them?
