NFL Musical History: Musical Misadventures in the NFL began in 1984

During a recent trip I took to San Francisco I picked up an incredible piece of musical history. It’s a single (vinyl) from 1984 of the SF 49ers singing “We’re the 49ers.” [listen] This record signaled the beginning of an alarming trend in which football teams produced their own music.  It started with this, in 1984, [...]

Thinking about Photos

I’m overwhelmed with a lot of aspects of New York. But when I think of what I want to photograph, it’s hard to think about what I wanna capture. After spending 21 days as a real resident of Brooklyn, NY, I definitely could see more to get that “critical distance” to finally start taking meaningful [...]

Content and Editors will always be friends: The Trouble with Social Media

(update: The Issue has closed its doors. wah) Crowdsourcing is another word for clown sourcing. Things have to change. Digg is filled with lolcats and misspelled link descriptions. It’s like Web 2.0 run by monkeys. Google constantly fights the capitalistic art of search engine optimization, making true content discovery more difficult. We have a problem. There’s [...]

I scoured my Google Reader shared items for things I want to share. Last statements of death row inmates in Texas (via cynical-c). Don Hicks writes Hey, how y’all doing out there?

No Music Day – November 21st and the repercussions – Scotland

Well you probably missed it, but November 21st was ‘No Music Day‘ in Scotland. I like the idea: It’s meant to make people appreciate music the day before St. Cecilia’s day (the patron saint of music). I highly recommend reading the comments on this whole thing I pasted below. My favorites are bolded. I doubt this will [...]

But it’s not the typical ‘unclassified something or other reveals that…’ type of history/pop article. This article focuses on the space race/boom as a sort of cultural and artistic grandparent [...]

The National Association of Staredown Professionals

I stumbled across what I thought was a joke feature film showcasing the sport of ’staredown.’ You know…. gazing dreamily into someone’s eyes until they blink. I figured it was like making a feature film about the IACJ (the International Association of Cat Jugglers). But as it turns out the NASP is a real [...]
