Artist To Admire: Dave MacDowell.
holy jesus (satan), Dave MacDowell may just be the new king of pop (rest in pieces, M.J.). i was lucky enough to see David MacDowell’s The Sins of Atticus Finch show at Thinkspace a couple months ago, and the more i see of his portfolio of jumbled up pop schizophrenia, the more i laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh all crazy like while talking to myself. there is plenty of more wonderful-ness on his website here, and you can read his blog here to read about the methods behind his particular brand of madness. preach on, mad pop genius. preach on.
Witness The Eternal Moonwalk…
- The internet almost broke (seriously).
- News stations around the globe have been offering 24/7 coverage of MJ’s life… everyday… subsequently burying stories like the one about that governor who ran away to Argentina to get his nasty on (good timing!).
- MJ is topping ALL the charts just like the good ol’ days, I’m talking album sales, iTunes tracks, singles, pop charts, you name it… even on ultimate-guitar.com (a guitar sheet music website) 2 of his songs are in the top 10, he didn’t even play guitar!
But so far, this is one of the most fun things I’ve seen in relation to his death: The Eternal Moonwalk. It’s great, go watch, listen, press buttons, send in a video, spread the word. Word.
Oh and if you need help learning, here are some moonwalk lessons to help you out. Anyone can dance, it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white (eeee hee!).
Headlines: VIBE is Dead, Pirate Bay is Sold, MJ Lets the People in and more…
PIRATE BAY: the good news is, The Pirate Bay four won’t be going to jail. The bad news is, in order to avoid this, TPB has been sold to the Swedish company Global Gaming Factory. This mean’s they will decentralize their servers and stop hosting trackers and torrents, moving to third parties for help. They will also be selling shares of the company on the Swedish market.

Diggers had this to say:
“The revolution is over. The RIAA/MPAA won. They’ll receive their $3.6 million and we’ll lose The Pirate Bay. TPB was for me, a little way of protesting. I laughed at the lobbyists every time I went there. I read the takedown notices many times. I felt like I was part of a movement that might actually force the corporate, greedy motherfuckers to consider adopting a new business model.
They’re fucking laughing at me now. It’s a sad day.”
VIBE: is done. It died alongside MJ. The Source stands alone. Oh yeah, and something called the internets.

MJ: Michael Jackson’s body will be taken to Neverland Ranch for a public viewing on Thursday, July 2nd. Plastic recylcing day is Friday, July 3rd, so get there fast! (hurrah).

This is all so sad, so let’s move on with some HAPPY THOUGHTs. White Denim’s new album, Fits, came out on the 22nd. I just got my copy, I suggest you get yours. Listen to this uncharacteristic track:

White Denim – “Sex Prayer”

Dirty Projectors released a music video for their song “Stillness is the Move”… it’s all over the “sphere” today, so here it is again. Watch out for a wandering llama and some silly sirens.
the king of pop is dead, long live the king… Michael Jackson has died in Los Angeles
whoa. this stuff does happen in threes. first Ed McMahon, then today Farrah Fawcett, and now Michael Jackson. according to everyone but CNN (who says he’s only in a coma… [UPDATE: CNN WAS WRONG]), Michael Jackson has died of a cardiac arrest. who are we supposed to make child molestation jokes about now? won’t someone think of the children?
