“

In a recent interview with New York magazine’s Vulture blog, Fucked Up frontman Damian Abraham, better known as Pink Eyes, revealed that his band is using the money from their Polaris Music Prize win to make their own all-star-version of ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’

Talking to Vulture, Abraham listed off some of the people involved: ‘David Cross, members of Vampire Weekend, TV on the Radio, Broken Social Scene, the GZA, Bob Mould, No Age, and Yo La Tengo are all confirmed. I’m still waiting on confirmation from Feist, Jarvis Cocker, and M.I.A. We wanted the biggest people we could get. If we could get a Jonas Brother on this, I would get a Jonas Brother.’

OK Go // “Get Over It” // OK Go

Saw these guys tonight.

I forgot how great this song is.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention, there was a confetti cannon, and it was deployed several times during the show. And the band played church handbells (“God’s favorite instrument”) for one song. All in all, a pretty entertaining show.

“Been in the studio with M.I.A. working on her new record. It’s like Gucci Mane meets Animal Collective. I think there are a couple of people [producing] but we’re going to finish it off, me and Switch. We’ve done like four tracks already.”

Secret copyright treaty leaks. It's bad. Very bad.

Secret copyright treaty leaks. It's bad. Very bad.:

indieandyy:

The internet chapter of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, a secret copyright treaty whose text Obama’s administration refused to disclose due to “national security” concerns, has leaked. It’s bad. It says:

That ISPs have to proactively police copyright on user-contributed material. This means that it will be impossible to run a service like Flickr or YouTube or Blogger, since hiring enough lawyers to ensure that the mountain of material uploaded every second isn’t infringing will exceed any hope of profitability.

That ISPs have to cut off the Internet access of accused copyright infringers or face liability. This means that your entire family could be denied to the internet — and hence to civic participation, health information, education, communications, and their means of earning a living — if one member is accused of copyright infringement, without access to a trial or counsel.

That the whole world must adopt US-style “notice-and-takedown” rules that require ISPs to remove any material that is accused — again, without evidence or trial — of infringing copyright. This has proved a disaster in the US and other countries, where it provides an easy means of censoring material, just by accusing it of infringing copyright.

Mandatory prohibitions on breaking DRM, even if doing so for a lawful purpose (e.g., to make a work available to disabled people; for archival preservation; because you own the copyrighted work that is locked up with DRM)

Delorean // “Deli” // Ayrton Senna

Four and a half minutes of absolutely perfect electro-pop from Barcelona.

I heard this for the first time this morning.

It stayed on repeat for the rest of the day.

My only regret is that I didn’t bump the hell out of this all summer long.

Another track from the Black Keys’ soon-to-be-released hip-hop project Blakroc.

Plus, I just learned Raekwon will be at the Alrosa Villa December 11th.
