Unrelated Videos: Why YouTube VEVO Channels Deliberately Flunk Marketing 101

Sunday, May 6th, 2012

If you listen to music on YouTube, no doubt you’ve heard of the “VEVO” channels used by the major record labels. However, if you listen to non-dance, non-soft-rock, or older music, you probably wonder why VEVO channels’ “Related Videos” are anything but related. You may put on some Alice in Chains or Nirvana, but be [...]

All it takes

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Sometimes all it takes is one or two sentences of something to make me feel miserable for days and nights afterward. And that is what happened last night which continues through this evening, and hopefully will end soon. At least there is light in the evening. Otherwise I’d probably be totally destroyed.

Twenty years ago, they were unhappy. They had valid reason to be unhappy. As did we. Five years later, they were angry. They had valid reason to be angry. As did we. But no more. Today, they are not allowed to be angry. Today, they are not allowed to be unhappy. For doing so means [...]

Beefing up the “original material”…

The news and politics and funny pictures and videos won’t go away, and there will still probably be more of those than journal entries, but I think it’s a great way to add stuff to the public domain, whereas these [...]

I thought I was reading “The Onion” for a sec

An E! Online news story from early 2009 reports a bizarre lawsuit (which has since been settled out of court): Bier, otherwise known as Madonna Wayne Gacy, sued [Marilyn] Manson for more than $20 million last year, claiming Manson siphoned off millions of dollars in band revenue. The funds allegedly paid for drugs, assorted Nazi [...]

Lack of updates

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

Sorry for the lack of updates. A few weeks ago, I won a lot of 20 tapes off eBay, and I’m about halfway done backing them up to my computer, holding the seller off on a rating. So far all work and great music. The tapes are various obscure and popular 80s pop-metal and pop-rock [...]
