Thanks go to John Kerry for inspiring the photo below:
Any former soldier knows loose lips sink ships and to never give ammo to his/her adversary. Kerry is a just a complete moron. I am just completely baffled by his idiocy this close to election day….I can say no more….
I love the long tail and how nothing is every truly gone with the advent of the Internet. In case you didn’t know, N.E.R.D. stands for “no one ever really dies” and the ‘Net makes it so. Here is one application:
Online music fans have downloaded more than 250,000 tracks of previously out-of-print recordings by European artists since the launch of Universal Music’s pioneering digital catalogue reissue programme earlier this year. It was launched as the first step in a multi-year drive to reinstate more than 100,000 European deleted recordings. The initial offering comprised more than 3,000 out-of-print tracks from the company’s vaults in the U.K., France and Germany. They were made available through online music services in 20 countries, mostly in Europe.
Below are listed the top artists, albums and tracks. I didn’t know most of these names and am still finding out info and/or listening to all of them. Cool to say the least, check it out:
