An argument for living in NYC...

Oooh... how much would I love to go to this?

Author Salman Rushdie, Dredg Join Forces for SPIN Charity Event

On October 1, Satanic Verses author Salman Rushdie will join San Francisco rockers Dredg at NYC's Housing Works Bookstore Café for the third installment of SPIN's Liner Notes series, a special event that unites authors and musicians for an evening of collaboration -- and fundraising.

If you haven't been exposed to either dredg or Rushdie, I strongly encourage you to become so.

Things I love: 1.) Science 2.) Mini-golf...

It doesn't get much better than this, folks:

And the kid in the green shirt? Winner.

embracing mass media...

I doubt anyone actually listened to MPR this morning, as I recommended in yesterday's post. But if you did, then you got to hear a comment I sent in!

Now my opinions are on the internet AND the radio!
Woohoo!

If you missed the show, you can listen here.

Mark Willette's Lonely Hearts Club Band...

Minnesota Public Radio will be discussing The Beatles Rock Band tomorrow (Weds, 9.2.09) at 10:00 am.

Midmorning's Kerri Miller said she'll be talking about how musical video games may change how we embrace music. Sounds promising.

Now I hope they do a show about Pearl Jam Rock Band.
