Just finished watching the global live webcast of U2 from the Rosebowl Stadium in Los Angeles. The fantastic streaming quality made it seem like I was really there. Except for the crappy new songs, the uniquely U2 mix of large screen trickery, Bono’s political peppering and good ol’ rock and roll made this a good show.
Just checked the site again at 6pm: Slightly more than staggering 17 million people watched it online.

Great note from Mick Jagger which can be found in Andy Warhol’s Pop Box collection. In the end, despite Mick’s warning, the cover that was eventually created had a zipper. I’ve never seen the original record cover before — now, I am itching to find out how it turned out!
On another note, it would be great if we all had clients like that from time to time…

A 192 page full-colour booklet of every sleeve design from WARP, two double CD albums (one of which is the user voted compilation disc), a mix CD, a triple and double vinyl box set for US$150 sounds like an unwise and guilty indulgence in troubled economic times. It sounds like great value but what a huge hole in the pocket this will burn…
I need more time to think.

I’ve downloaded hundreds and hundreds of records – why would I care if somebody downloads ours? That’s such a petty thing… I mean, how much money does one person need?

What an absolutely stunning game intro video! If you’re a Beatles fan or an animation fan, you’ll like this — if you’re a fan of both, you’ll be left speechless. The beginning minute or so of the animation is in a flat Manga-style (which I am no big fan of). It gets into mind-bending brilliance in the second half (just as the guys get on the escalator).
What a sweet video and what a sweet way to encapsulate the early and later (and better) Beatles’ discography; I can’t get over it. I just want to keep watching it again and again and again…

From an acoustical perspective, music is an overstructured language, which the brain invented and which the brain loves to hear.

Hello
Most folks who visit random notes
seem to hang around for about
9.316 minutes on average.
My name is and I just learned that the hash sign is also known as an octothorp. It's exactly this kind of unnecessary information works its way into conversations that scares people away from me. Not that I am really complaining though…
