[Heckler & Coch] Migrating the folk process DrunkenBlog: Converg...: [...] Often called "bastard pop" or simply "bootlegs," mash-ups are as easy to perform as a rip-off of a Bob Dylan tune. Cheap audio software allows anyone with a half-decent computer to convert the act of copyright infringement into something undeniably gorgeous and amusing by turns. Australian masher Dsico - who has been repeatedly threatened with legal action for his work - traces the style back to modernist art: "Much as Duchamp once drew a mustache on a copy of the Mona Lisa, bastard pop artists deface mainstream pop music." New York University professor and copyright reformer Siva Vaidhyanathan calls the movement a combination of innovation and infringement, adding, "Some of the greatest innovators of the past 100 years were accused of being infringers."

[Iammadonna.oracleswar.com] The Material Blog: BBR sent Sherrie on not one, but TWO radio tours to push the single "Streets Of Heaven", all the while doing nothing to get her steady stream of live performances in front of fans. Sherrie, who had openly admitted to being tired of nonstop promoting and all the "me me me" stuff during her time with Arista, was again finding herself on a seemingly endless promotional tour, as BBR's lone focus seemed to be on how many times "Streets Of Heaven" could be played on the radio.
[Weblogsky.com] Weblogsky - industrial-strength weblog: I joined Pete Kaminski and Ross Mayfield in a discussion with Eric Bonabeau of Icosystem yesterday - one of those productive hallway discussions, in this case leading to an epiphany that wouldn't necessarily have followed from Bonabeau's presentation on swarm intelligence, which was more about the relevance of insect studies to the construction of algorithms. In our informal discussion, Bonabeau noted that we need to transform the way that we think, that human thinking tends to follow a path set by a first thought or image and discard other alternatives, similar to the ants that follow the strongest overlay of pheromones even if the path is destructive (as in the blind ants that fall into a destructive circle when separated from their colony). This made me think of the Buddhist practice of non-attachment to thoughts - if you avoid making the attachment to a thought or idea, you can be open to others that might be more useful.
