MP3: Helicentrics Live in Paris | Stones Throw Records

by Neewok

After Madlib was forced to cancel a show in Paris late last year, Malcolm Catto came from London to Paris on a moment’s notice with fellow Heliocentrics Jake Ferguson (bass) and Adey Owasu (guitar) of The Heliocentrics, and stole the show in front of 650 rather frenzied Stones Throw fans. This less-than-ten-minute section of their one hour jam session doesn’t come close to capturing the vibe in the cramped quarters of La Bellevilloise that Saturday, 6th of December 2008.

Monopoly City Streets: What's going on?

by srcmax

We had planned for a lot of traffic on launch day and had been load testing the game - in fact, we've been testing and optimizing for a whole month. However, between the enthusiasm of Monopoly fans around the world, everyone who was excited to try out the new experience and non-stop mentions of the game on Twitter, blogs and everywhere else, our servers were overwhelmed. Based on the stats we have, we show a daily rate of about 1.7 million unique visitors, but the figure is likely far higher.

Wishing Stars - an iPhone Game for Disney Theme Park Fans

by gregg
Wishing Stars™ is an iPhone-powered game you play at Disneyland. (Think "scavenger hunt.") It's a real-life adventure that unfolds as you find clues, solve puzzles, and explore the furthest reaches of the park (...maybe even some places that you didn't know existed!)

Post the logo of your own design in this website and by doing so make others to acknowledge and to respect your work and particularly to preserve your original logo design when trying to apply it later.

The Kickstarter Blog - Kickstarter and the 1,000 True Fans

by greut

From the beginning, we’ve encouraged creators to tap into their networks as much as possible: there’s clearly a desire from audiences for greater interaction, more access, a more intimate relationship. Twitter has demonstrated that. And so what Kickstarter does is answer the next part of that question: once you have your 10 or 100 or 1,000 or even 1,000,000 True Fans, what comes next?

You allow them a seat at the table. You invite them to become your patrons. You give them an opportunity to have an impact and it’s not just your story anymore, it’s theirs too. And that’s the kind of success that lasts.

Duky's Life & Other things: Le fansoupe est-il soluble dans l'économie ?

by night.kame (via)

Grâce (ou à cause) de Déclic Images notamment, le public a longtemps cru deux choses : que l'animé était peu cher (à produire comme à acheter) et surtout était populaire et générait de très nombreuses ventes. Même les professionnels tels que Pathé ou TF1 Vidéo sont même tombés dans la panneau et ont lancé leurs propres labels. Ils se sont cassés les dents, entre le prix disproportionné des licences à l'acquisition et les ventes faméliques à l'arrivée. Car oui, un animé vendu à prix normal (c'est à dire couvrant les frais de licence, de développement, les salaires etc.) se vend à moins de 2 000 exemplaires.

Nous sommes moins de 2 000 fans en France à soutenir cette "industrie" et à avoir cette passion de l'animé. Le reste n'est composé que de consommateurs itinérants qui ne connaissent un titre que parce qu'il est gratuit ou présenté comme "aussi bien que (titre à la mode au choix)".

La japanimation c'est énorme, mais ça reste de la micro-économie, un peu comme les microformats ("microWHAT ?" demanderont certains).

Twitter-Streetart: This demonstrates perfectly just how stupid and pointless twitter is! | Nerdcore

Twitter-Streetart: This demonstrates perfectly just how stupid and pointless twitter is!

twitterstreetart

Twitter-Streetart von Questionmarc (via Urban Prankster) mit einem bemerkenswerten Kommentar darunter.

Das ist schon sehr, sehr lustig. Es ist ja nicht nur so, dass ein paar Journalisten Twitter nicht verstehen und darauf rumhacken. Es ist auch so, dass sobald man irgendetwas über Twitter schreibt, steht mindestens einmal der Kommentar „Dieses Posting ist der perfekte Beweis dafür, wie unglaublich belanglos und banal Twitter doch eigentlich ist.“ Jetzt könnte man sich ja denken, diese Twittmeckermentalität wäre ein deutsches Phänomen – da sah ich obige Streetart und darunter der Kommentar „This demonstrates perfectly just how stupid and pointless twitter is!“ Von wegen deutsch, das ist schlicht ein mentales Filterproblem der Rezipienten. Wenn ich die Worte „Fashion“ oder „Ballett“ lese, dann lese ich gar nicht erst weiter und ich schreibe erst Recht nicht einen Kommentar wie „Dieses Posting ist der perfekte Beweis dafür, wie unglaublich belanglos und banal Ballett doch eigentlich ist.“

Ich glaube, dieser Satz offenbart die komplette Absurdität solcher Kommentare. Geht auch so: „Dieses Posting ist der perfekte Beweis dafür, wie unglaublich belanglos und banal Blogs doch eigentlich sind.“ Bullshit. Ich kaufe mir auch keine Geflügelzüchtermagazine und beschwere mich dann, dass diese voller Geflügelzüchtercontent sind. Wenn man sich gerne und ausschließlich lange Abhandlungen zur Außenpolitik von Papua Neuguinea durchliest, wird man wohl schwerlich ein Fan von Twitter. Aber dann: Don’t fucking read it!

Ansonsten empfehle ich immer noch Julies Anleitung zum Glücklichtwittern: Twitter ist unnütz.

[update] Von Jeriko grade in den Kommentaren gepostet, auch sehr schön:

it’s a lesson in how the future of music is working -

fans are literally (and i mean that….literally) lining up at the signing table after shows and HANDING me cash, saying “thank you”.

i had to EXPLAIN to the so-called “head of digital media” of roadrunner australia WHAT TWITTER WAS. and his brush-off that “it hasn’t caught on here yet” was ABSURD because the next day i twittered that i was doing an impromptu gathering in a public park and 12 hours later, 150 underage fans - who couldn’t attend the show - showed up to get their records signed.

no manager knew! i didn’t even warn or tell her! no agents! no security! no venue! we were in a fucking public park!

life is becoming awesome.

People's Music Store: Build Your Own Record Shop

by garret (via)
"People's Music Store is a newly launched DIY online music store. It was created by the founder of MP3 reseller Bleep.com, Ged Day. People's Music Store styles itself as "the first music store entirely powered by music fans." Basically the service allows you to set up your own custom-designed record store, with music chosen from a catalogue of indie record labels (so far no major record label music). The idea is that you earn points, equivalent to 10% of the price of the single, EP or album that you sell. These points can only be used to buy other music items on the People's Music Store site. There are more than 650 stores currently, with over 250,000 songs in the catalogue - most appear to be available at $0.99 per song or $8.99 per album. The site claims to be "working with" 4,500 labels, including 4AD, XL, Rough Trade, Matador, Dominio, and Ged Day's own Warp. Other than the lack of major label music, there is another minor annoyance for those of us who don't live in the U.S. - international users will frequently run into a "we're sorry, but this release is not available in your country" message. However on the plus side, all the music available for download is DRM-free and at high quality 320Kbps." [reawriteweb]

There are some Flash fans in the crowd, who ask quite rightly whether all this will be made simpler with great tools, like what Adobe provides for Flash. We do need better tools, but I ask him to wait till I talk about tools in The Cloud.

George Orwell - Le blog posthume et apocryphe est à la mode

by decembre
Le blog posthume et apocryphe est à la mode (Mitterrand, Franquin), mais celui-ci est différent : ce sont de vrais extraits du journal de George Orwell, écrit entre 1938 et 1942, qui sont quotidiennement mis en ligne sur http://orwelldiaries.wordpress.com depuis le 9 août 2008. Les fans de 1984 ou de la Ferme des animaux apprécieront, pourvu qu’ils comprennent l’anglais.
