No worries, kac. I had a feeling it was a computer issue. Those things happen sadly, lol.
Nevada Says:
Found via a link at The Velvet Rope:
…that got me thinking about the economics of music discovery, whether by hearing new music in a restaurant, in a movie theater or on the internet. Speaking of which, the deeply troubled music industry, rather astonishingly, has been spending its summer making it harder for music fans to encounter new music online.
Advertising Age
Nevada Says:
Found (belatedly) all by myself:
A producer had asked Kraft’s composer client to write a “very Hitchcockian, Bernard Herrmann-type score” for his production, but the composer was leaning toward something sparser. The producer was adamant: “I want wall-to-wall music,” he said, “just like in ‘The Birds.’”
And there lay a snag. “He managed to pick the one Hitchcock film that had no music in it,” says Kraft.
The Hollywood Reporter
Nevada Says:
Hmm, I thought Canadians were more polite than this:
Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher was assaulted onstage Sunday night during the band’s headlining set at Toronto’s Virgin Festival on Toronto Island Park.
The Hollywood Reporter
Nevada Says:
A pity, this, although I suspect there will always be room for a new song about Porsches:
While you were electronically adjusting your side-view mirrors or being guided by GPS or reading the external temperature gauge or something, a curious thing happened in rock: The car-song trend sputtered and lurched and finally went kaput.
According to the diagnostics, those revving automobile engines — the inspiration for countless rock-and-roll songs, from the Cadillac-Ford race of Chuck Berry’s classic “Maybellene” to Bruce Springsteen’s rhapsody about “a ‘69 Chevy with a 396/Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor” in “Racing in the Street” — have gone silent.
Washington Post
Nevada Says:
Try not to laugh while reading this…
As long as there’s been art, there have been wealthy patrons that have sponsored artists. Many of the world’s biggest masterpieces would have never seen the light of day had it not been for some rich individual who funded its creation. Van Gogh, Mozart and Da Vinci, for example, all had wealthy backers.

Nevada Says:
A sales update for dcd, with 36.20% reporting:
3 NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK INTERSCOPE 31,568 BLOCK
Nevada Says:
And last, a nicely cynical look at the VMAs:
For the days leading up to the 25th annual MTV Video Music Awards, which took place Sunday night at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, MTV breathlessly promoted Britney Spears’s appearance to open the show. Not to sing: merely to appear. At the Video Music Awards appearances are everything.
New York Times
Boulder Soul Says:
There are virgins in Toronto?
**ducks**
ETA:
I kid. I kid.
a dead broke jellus h8er Says:
Well, we know there aren’t any in the greater Orlando area.
hezzer19 Says:
Need I remind everyone of Radname?
Boulder Soul Says:
Speaking of Racing in the Streets (from the “Darkness On the Edge of Town Tour”

Boulder Soul Says:
LMFAO….How soon we forget.
Boulder Soul Says:
DCD, please tell me you are not one of those 31,568. Please.
dcd74 Says:
OK Sis..I am not one of those 31,568 :ninja:
Boulder Soul Says:
Before presenting an award with John Legend, Jordan Sparks said:
Alrighty then.
Boulder Soul Says:
Boulder Soul Says:
:cwy:
**bangs head against wall**
Nevada Says:
Why is it that every time I look at a photo of Jordin, I can hear football coaches weeping that she wasn’t born male?
I suspect she could flatten John Legend without breaking a sweat…not to mention the offensive line of the Chicago Bears.
hezzer19 Says:
Did Jordin win a lifetime supply of Cheetos along with a record contract?
Kayla Says:
I want to be a slut. Wait, I never had a promise ring so maybe I am already a slut. :shocked:
hezzer19 Says:
You have a wedding ring Kayla. I’m pretty sure that counts for something.
hezzer19 Says:
Great stuff today Nevada. Some interesting reading. Thank you.
Nevada Says:
It’s my version of “Things You Didn’t Know You Didn’t Know About the Music Industry But Should Know So You Don’t Come Across As a Complete and Utter Fool.”
ETA: Some restrictions may apply; not available in Chicago.
hezzer19 Says:
OK I’m getting ready to watch CI and vote like a fangirl. I guess in a way you could say I am a fangirl…of Nevada.
hezzer19 Says:
MY WORD I hate Ben.
hezzer19 Says:
OK you guys weren’t kidding, this Mitch dude can’t sing for shit.
Please make it stop?
Kayla Says:
hmm CI? I found this on my puter.. How’d it get there hmmm
hezzer19 Says:
Kayla Says:
I can’t watch CI nor can I watch Canada’s SYTYCD.. HMM I did all that voting for Hez and Kac and they aren’t sharing :wassat:
hezzer19 Says:
No worries my Kayla. I will vote for Theo ’til the lines close.
Nevada Says:
I’m lucky enough to get Canadian stations, so I do watch Canadian Idol and plan to watch Canada’s SYTYCD, eh?
I’m sure Hez will share videos if she can find them…
Kayla Says:
Hope so Nevada,I did enjoy the chat and watching SYTYCD with everyone. Hope Kac does the recaps..they were great.. :cheerful:
hezzer19 Says:
She will indeed.
Nevada Says:
I’ll second that, Kayla…recaps RULE!
hezzer19 Says:
They do indeed Nevada.
Boulder Soul Says:
I’d ask Big Brother.
Nevada Says:
Heh, good one, Boulder.
Kayla Says:
more like the little Brother..
BBro would not like Theo..
Nevada Says:
BBro wouldn’t have enjoyed Canadian Idol this year in particular…the Top 10 only included two females and only one of them could sing.
Nevada Says:
Coincidentally, the Top 2 are guys and only one of them can sing as well…
Boulder Soul Says:
Well, Big Bro has been known to like contestants who could not sing.
Nevada Says:
Not only could she not sing without screeching, she could not dance, she cannot act, and she is incapable of talking without sprinkling “you knows” and “likes” ad nauseum.
Big Brother Says:
Nevada two females only? You are right I pass on CI. What were they thinking?
Boulder what happened? House Bunny didn’t go right to DVD.
Kayla Says:
Brother for sale ! :whistle:
hezzer19 Says:
*waves at Big Brother*
Nevada Says:
The House Bunny is doing fairly well…certainly better than I thought it would. Although I haven’t come across a review that indicates Katharine has anything to do with that.
As of Sunday, September 7th, The House Bunny has earned $36,611,667.
ETA: Stats removed.
Big Brother Says:
Throws a Big Brother kiss to Hez!
hezzer19 Says:
*kisses Big Brother on the cheek*
Well this power voting is exhausting. An hour straight! Thank Finn for redial.
Big Brother Says:
She didn’t have that big of a part from what I heard.So the sucess doesn’t go to her. I heard Anna was good.
I am a bad fan I didn’t see it.
Kayla Says:
Big Sis is watching lol
hezzer19 Says:
At least Big Brother can’t tattle on me for flirting this time.
Kayla Says:
I can!
hezzer19 Says:
Sending my Big Brother a kiss on the cheek is not flirting! Don’t tell Rippin.
Nevada Says:
Uh oh.
Big Brother Says:
Kayla you are the “old” one yes. :whistle: Big nope ,even all 5ft of you, if that.
Hez I will protect you.
Kayla Says:
Good things come in small packages. I can still kick your butt.
hezzer19 Says:
Shit. Who do I defend? My brother or my sister?
I’m going to bed
Boulder Soul Says:
There is hope yet.
Big Brother Says:
Me too, for as little as she is she wins,I’ll not mess with her.
*Taking my Kat poster and going to bed*
Boulder Soul Says:
Oh, not what I heard. She has the two big parts…Mcta and McTa.
Boulder Soul Says:
**passes Big Bro the Lubriderm**
Boulder Soul Says:
Speaking of Rippin…hugs, kiss, and a smack across the head (for old time’s sake).
Boulder Soul Says:
And you have the two puppies to protect you.
Boulder Soul Says:
As RSF pointed out awhile back, *** is hardly mentioned in any of the reviews.
Kayla Says:
*reminds myself to clean the ceilings tommorrow of any debri*
Boulder Soul Says:
OMG, Kayla!!!!
LMAO
Nevada Says:

dcd74 Says:

In my defense sis, regarding the NKOTB..I wasnt going to buy it after I heard they did a duet with the PussyCat Dolls but Mr DCD bought it for me anyway because he thought I needed to complete my collection of NKOTB stuff that I never got rid of LOL I havent even opened and listened to it!
