Fashioning Your Own Brand of Art: When Publicity Goes Awry
As a professional artist promoting your work in today’s DIY hyper-connected world, you may long for the days when artists relied on management teams and publicists to get our names out there. But if we actually look back, history shows that taking your brand into your own hands was always a smart idea waiting to become the rule.
Heavy Rotation / August 2010 / “Blindfolded” by Theophilus London
Theophilus London is an indie hip hop/electro artist I like out of Brooklyn. Here’s a video of over 30 dancers choreographed to his song “Blindfolded” for the Body Rock dance competition. Fast forward to 1:00 when the track comes in. And wait for the pay off at 4:04.

Heavy Rotation / August 2010 / “Sermons” by The Cold War Kids
If a skinny white boy led the congregation of a southern Baptist church, it might sound something like “Sermon” by the Cold War Kids. Lead singer, Nathan Willett’s voice is one of a kind. Have a listen and you’ll see what I mean.
Facebook Goes Dark: Back to School with David Fincher and the Genius Behind Nine Inch Nails
If the idea of an upcoming Facebook biopic (The Social Network) makes you wince, just keep a couple things in mind: 1) It’s directed by David Fincher (Fight Club, Se7en). And 2) It’s scored by Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails). Add to that this creepy trailer, and you’ve got my ticket on pre-sale.

Heavy Rotation / August 2010 / “In This Shirt” by The Irrepressibles
A beautiful song. A haunting voice. You’ll hear bits of Beirut and Antony & the Johnsons. The band is called The Irrepressibles. The song is called “In This Shirt.” And the video is a stunning danse macabre.
The Fate of Barnes & Noble and the Way We’ll Read Tomorrow
If anything, book buying has become a better experience in recent years. The market has finally alligned itself around two welcomed principles: making our book buying process quick, easy and universal (online), or slow, tailored and meaningful (independent booksellers). What’s next is the marrying of these two—digital books available online that immerse us in the rich, meaningful experience we long for when entering a story.
Heavy Rotation / August 2010 / “He Loves Me” by The Morgues
Here’s the beautiful video for “He Loves Me” by my friend Amanda Tannen’s new band, The Morgues. Video portraiture? Pretty girls with bangs? Low fi, overexposed lighting effects? This is so me. The Morgues – Photo by Lacey Lampe
