Glenn Beck: New Web Network GBTV Has To 'Be Bigger Than Me':

230,000 people are already paying for a subscription to his new online-only news network. That shocks me. Not because of subscriber count, because of the lunatic fringe-count.

This is certainly a first in the world of virtual media, so following its progress will definitely be interesting. Even though I’d rather not ever be influenced by Glenn Beck about anything, I’m kinda hoping his network offers something — from a media operations standpoint — that can be learned from.

This sad, but funny. Don’t laugh, though, because it’s sad - especially when the kid planks for a full minute halfway through the vid. This is sad. (via VHX)

John Lennon's Greatest Work Of Art: His Own Life

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 08:51:00 -0500

Sure, you can learn a lot about a person through their art, but art is too cryptic to form a soulful relationship with. The most pleasurable part of enjoying an artist comes when they’re revealing themselves as they really are: a human being, not some sorta cerebral fairytale.

I loved John Lennon’s music, but I love John Lennon, the man, even more. He hooked me with his art, but reeled me in with his reality. So hearing interviews such as the one David Sheff had with John and Yoko in 1980 (two days before John was shot) represent the moments when I appreciate Lennon the most. Why? Because John is simply being John — not John “The Beatle” or John “The Activist” — It’s just him revealing the greatest work of art he ever created: His own life.

Deep down inside, whether you realize it or not, the person behind the poetry is what you love the most about those you admire. This is why I’m so proud to be doing what I’m doing — Because people will finally get the chance to experience, in an intimate environment, the inspired feelings an emotional bond with a seemingly superhuman individual can bring.

Band To Watch: Gayngs

Band To Watch: Gayngs:

What you might not expect is the sharply produced collection’s chilly, rich, soft-rock and R&B, a sound that’s earned more than one Bone Thugs reference. Gayngs list only 10cc’s “I’m Not In Love” in their MySpace “Sounds Like” field and cover 10cc spin-off Godley & Creme’s “Cry” on Relayted, but there are dozens of other echoes (from Primitive Radio Gods to Yeasayer to Kenny G) that surface and expand across these 55 minutes.

Click through and listen to this track. It’ll make you wanna lay out on the beach with a beer in one hand and one of those water-bottles-with-a-motorized-fan-on-it-things in the other. You know…real re-lax-ation type sheet ;-)

Meet The Man Who Could End Global Warming:

“He starts drawing little squiggles on the whiteboard, trying to explain how the miracle technology actually burns nuclear waste, neatly solving the biggest problem associated with nuclear power.”

I have no idea what he’s talking about.
