I was reading one of the best informed and brutally honest music industry blogs around today, “The Lefsetz Letter” at lefsetz.com/wordpress when I came across Bob’s post about the famous Caribou Ranch Studio in Colorado.
It’s a fascinating story about the many famous hit artists who recorded there; Joe Walsh, John Lennon & Chicago, just to [...]

Novaleaf Game Studio was officially released Biology Battle as a launch title of Xbox Live Community Games (XBLCG) on Nov. 19. This was done alongside Microsoft’s release of the NXE (New Xbox Experience) on the same day. Biology Battle is a unique take on the classic space shooter genre. Take control of medical nano-bots during its mission inside of its target cell.

A black man will take the oath of office next January. And as Barack Obama settles into his first term, Columbia Pictures thinks America might be ready to see a movie about "how far we have come." The studio is pulling together a film on the life of Eugene Allen, a black man who has butler in the White House from 1952, the pre-integration Eisenhower years, through the "March on Washington" and the Civil Rights movement, up to 1986, the Reagan years. Allen is still living and was able to cast h
When they were here in the heat of the summer of 2007 making a mixed martial arts drama they then called Get Some with Sean Faris and Cam Gigandet and Djimon Hounsou, Summit Entertainment was but a start up. They'd released the delightful Irish musical Once, but were otherwise unknown. But the producers working with the studio back then were dreaming big. They hoped they had their breakout gamble, a new Karate Kid. That didn't happen. Not quite, anyway. With Twilight, which also features Cam G
I first heard of Amanda Petrusich’s book It Still Moves: Lost Songs, Lost Highways, and the Search for the Next American Music from Largehearted Boy’s Book Notes. I was intrigued by the author’s musical selections. I like music. I’m interested in finding out more about the “next American music.” I picked up the book. Petrusich mentions early in the book: It is my perpetual and unmistakable failure as a music critic that I am infinitely more interested in personal details than in studio

Budget-Friendly Gifts for the Holidays November 20, 2008 Posted by: Dana S. Budget schmudget. Who has one for the holidays this year? But I bet most of you at least have an idea of what you want to spend on gifts. I also bet that it is noticeably different than last year. Of course, the kids always come first and will likely get a the biggest slice of the budget pie, leaving us grown-ups with the leftovers. But fear not! We’ve created a guide to help you find something for every adult, from
Ernest is one of my favourite artists and I’m so happy he took time out of his busy Fall schedule to chat. His drawings/paintings always make me feel like I’m in the head of a little boy imagining war and anime, love and friendship - which is a good thing. That child-like quality plus the engrossing detail in his work creates a cinematic feeling. Each time I look at one of Ernest’s pieces, I see something new and am engaged in a new epic adventure. Check out his show, or even better, drop b
Little Dragon - Fortune Little Dragon’s 2007 self titled album stays on constant rotation in the iPod. It’s the type of album that you fall in love with from day one and never let go of again. Having that said, when I feel this way about an artists’ first album, I usually get anxious about their sophomore release. I’ve been dissapointed so many times by artists who either try to be more “pop” or forget that classic sound that made them famous whenever they get back into the studio for the

One the main things I missed when the Feed was offline was being able to telling you about things like this. If you've already been following the considerable internet hype to Spike Jonze's latest film adoptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's story, "Where the Wild Things Are", then you can skip straight to the new monster [in both meanings of the word] interview and photos Ain't it Cool News has just posted with Mr Jonze.

Over at Mother Jones, Laura Rozen tells the story of Shlomi Michaels, a former Israeli commando trying his damnedest to hustle business in Iraqi Kurdistan. In Rozen's telling, Michaels has "a habit of popping up, Zelig-like, at the nexus of foreign policy and the kinds of businesses that thrive in times of war -- security contracting, infrastructure development and postwar reconstruction, influence and intelligence brokering." It's an interesting profile of the kind of influence-peddler who t

Craig served as Obama’s advisor on Latin American during the campaign, and was appointed last week as chief White House Counsel. The MSM has mentioned Craig’s role as Bill Clinton’s impeachment lawyer, but mostly has omitted mention of Craig’s role
I was excited to see that there was a new video talk show dedicated solely to the subject of nanotechnology. The new interview series is called Nanotech Today and is available both for download and real-time viewing on InTimeTV.com. As the brief introduction to the show describes, the program brings together two 21st Century technologies (some might say, the two most over-hyped technologies of the new century): Internet TV and Nanotech. But I knew, after my experiences with various Podcasts and
