Todays links of interest:
- Meet Bruce Willis in Second Life
It’s a contest to meet Bruce Willis’ avatar in Second Life. Presumably Willis will be participating. That is, if he’s not too busy engaging in flame wars on Ain’t It Cool News and making video iChat calls to forum critics. - "Gilmore" Fans May Be Unhappy With the Show’s Abrupt Ending
We can report that our resident huge "Gilmore Girls" fan was very pleased with the whole thing, though she couldn’t figure out what that was that kept blurring her vision during the second half-hour. - To Create Buzz, TV Networks Try A Little "Blogola"
Right. As if we would succumb to the temptation to say nice things about "The Office" or "Battlestar Galactica" by simply getting to go on the sets while they were being filmed. However, if the "Lost" producers fly us out to Hawaii — let’s say the last week of September — we’d never dis their show ever again. Unless it started sucking again, of course. - Amazon.com to Launch DRM-Free MP3 Music Download Store with Songs and Albums from EMI Music and More Than 12,000 Other Labels
Press release sadly short on detail (price???). Our investigative team will be on this as soon as they return from their nap break. - Music Radio on the Internet Faces Thorny Royalty Issues
So many problems with the music industry, so little willingness to come up with practical solutions. Number 269 in a series about why the music industry hates itself. - Rick Rubin leaves Warner Bros for Columbia
There are very few things that are a synonym for quality in the music industry. One of those things is Rick Rubin. - Why the RAZR is killing Motorola
And they didn’t even mention the crappy service you get if you sign up with Cingular. - Amazon to sell music online without copy protection
Yay! - Moral Majority founder Falwell dies at 73
So Jerry Fallwell walks up to St. Peter and says "let me in!." St. Peter replies: "Don’t you know who’s here, Jerry? Heaven is full of homosexuals, feminists, blacks, abortionists, liberals, and every other type of person that’ you’ve been hating on for the past 50 years. Are these the people that you want to spend eternity with?" And Jerry says, "Not so much, thank you. I’ll choose the alternative." - CBS Chief Isn’t Worried About YouTube or Google — ‘As Long as We Get Paid’
Pimpin’ ain’t easy.
