Medialoper Bebop Episode 28: [REDACTED]

January 18, 2012 by Jim Connelly

Kirk, Tim & Jim have all seen Moneyball, so we figured we’d talk about both the film and the concept. (05:30 – 15:20)

After that, we look at the SOPA protests, including the one on this site. And explain why Lamar Smith, the author (or “author”) of SOPA, is exactly like Snooki. (15:22 – 20:55)

Then, we look at SPIN’s plan to tweet the vast majority of their record reviews. (20:56 – 32:53)

Finally, it’s Kirk’s turn to explain what is in his mix, which has been utterly transformed by iTunes Match: Elmore James, Sharon Jones and Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs. (32:54 – 40:53)

Un-Spun

I just want to take this opportunity to say goodbye to Spin, a magazine that I have read faithfully for two decades. My subscription lapses in a couple of months, and for the first time in probably that entire two decades, I have no interest in re-upping.

Not because I’ve rejected flesh-and-blood magazines for the pleasures of the online world, either: my life still has plenty of spaces for the physical reading experience, especially that of the magazine. It’s something else entirely. You see, Spin has reinvented itself . . . as Blender 2.0.

Sigh.
