Yes, Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon might seem an obvious and easy cover to animate, but it’s really nicely done. You should check out the other animated covers – some are utterly hilarious. Gotta love animated GIFs.
Fucking genius. Live coding rocks (in a very geeky way, of course).
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?
