"As soon as you hit Google’s territorial waters, you came under our jurisdiction, our terms of service. Our laws–or lack thereof–apply here…Remember when I said at I/O that maybe we should set aside some small part of the world where people could experiment freely and examine the effects? I wasn’t speaking theoretically. This place exists. We built it."

— An awesome, fictional trip to the promised land (or something of the sort)…Google Island. (via Wired)

Teenage Fanclub - “Goody Goody Gumdrops” (original by the 1910 Fruit Company)

The Fannies Cover the Masters

I’m getting weaker, weaker

Every time I hear her name

Oh - she’s getting sweeter, sweeter

The girl’s driving me insane

Oh yeah~

Goody goody gumdrops

My heart’s doing flip-flops

Gee, what love can do

I’m gonna shout it from the rooftops

Goody goody gumdrops

with a girl like you…

Teenage Fanclub did a fun rendition of this bubblegum teenybopper track by the 1910 Fruitgum Company. Big on melody and generous with harmonies, this track is right up TFC’s alley. Gerry takes the lead vocals on this - sweet.

Yet another reason to follow One Week, One Band.

While everyone was off groaning about “The Great Gatsby” film, James Franco snuck around back and turned “As I Lay Dying” into…whatever the heck this mess is.

Why Design Matters: If Snow Fall Were Published in a Standard Template

pilhofer:

I am in beautiful Bergen, Norway, this week for the Nordic Media Festival. I gave a talk this morning on digital storytelling and, of course, everyone wanted to talk about Snow Fall.

As part of the presentation — and to drive home my point about design — I mocked up what Snow Fall might have been had our brilliant design, graphics and video teams not taken this project on.

Since a couple people asked for it, I decided to post the images here.

Doesn’t really grab you like the actual piece, does it?

the adventures of jenn I(n) R(eal) L(ife): Apocalypse Chili: A Recipe

jennirl:

Start with one can of chili, and several other cans of things that you think should be in chili. For example: Corn. Stewed tomatoes. Various types of beans.

I am not great at feeding myself. Not in a diagnosable way — more in the sense that if I gave in to my inclinations I would exist solely…

This is thoroughly fantastic.

WNYC's Transmitter: The Stool Pigeon Guide to Music Journalist Bullshit

wnyc:

Below are just the “S”s — the whole list is brilliant.

Seminal — Uppity tag used to describe records whose dazzling originality the writer thinks will echo, Maximus from Gladiator­­­-style, through the learned cloisters of eternity. Then again, ‘seminal’ can also mean ‘pertaining to or…

Shit. I’ve totally used “Lynchian” to describe St. Vincent.
