A Note From The Absentee Landlord

SocialCreature, I haven’t forgotten about you! I still love you and think of things I want to tell you all the time, (like what Roland Emmerich’s Anonymous says about “the intersection of art and politics and role of the artist in society”, or the similarities between the Snow White & the Huntsman trailer and the [...]

Why You’re Wearing Feathers Right Now

Hacking Into Encom With The Glitch Mob

Super late to my own party on this, but here it is: Last summer, I came up with an idea for The Glitch Mob to do a Tron: Legacy remix video scored to music from their 2010 album, Drink the Sea, and edited by Khameleon808. We released the video in November 2010 and after that [...]

I’m Speaking at the FutureM Conference

October 7th, I’ll be on a panel at the FutureM Conference in Boston, entitled, “Your Life Will Be A Transmedia Experience (It Already Is).” Sound familiar? Yup, it’s a different take on the theme for a panel of a similar name I’ve got submitted to SXSW, and featuring many of the same cast-members! I’ll be [...]

Eskmo music video – Cloudlight

A little (fashionably) late to the party on this one, but  just had to mention this really hauntingly beautiful video for the new Eskmo (a.k.a Brendan Angelides) track, Cloudlight (single is out Sept. 6 on Ninja Tune). I’ve known Brendan, and Dugan O’Neal, who directed the video, from my days producing music festivals. Plus, you might recognize [...]

The First 21st Century Vampires

A month before the premiere of True Blood’s third season earlier this summer I wrote a post about the first 21st century superhero. The new Iron Man, as reimagined by Jon Favreau and portrayed by Robert Downey Jr., had broken the mold constricting the superhero archetype since its inception back in the late 1930′s, and [...]
