Calagione was drawn to the alchemical spirits in Bitches Brew right out of college, acquiring a copy of the album “within months of the first time I brewed a batch of homebrew in my apartment in New York City. I listened to it when I was writing my Dogfish business plan. I wanted Dogfish Head to be a maniacally inventive and creative brewery, analog beer for the digital age. You could say that my dream was to have Dogfish Head, in some small way, stand for the same thing in the beer world that Bitches Brew stands for in the jazz world. You can imagine how excited we are to be doing this project 17 years after I wrote that business plan.”

The Blue Up? - Blasting XTC

Ana Voog writes, sings, and plays everything but drums here. I never get tired of listening to this.

What’s with the close / minimize / maximize buttons being vertical in the top “toolbar” of iTunes 10? As I stated to my cohorts here at TUAW this morning, doesn’t that fly in the face of 10 years of experience with OS X and even violate Apple’s Human Interface Guidlines? Fortunately, there’s relief. A tweet from @rudyrichter showed how to fix this — pop into Terminal and type or paste in “defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -1”, press Return, relaunch iTunes and life is back to normal.

A display I put up in McNally Jackson yesterday. The photo is terrible, I know, but I guess I think it’s funny?

It’s like a venn diagram, and the two circles are Kickass and Totally Rad. Nominated for the Best Display in McNally Jackson History Award.

And we sit yoga-style in an Uncle Sam suit underneath our fake missile, and ride around Manhattan in the 95-degree heat to publicize our campaign to vilify an innocent minority group… but we’re not weird or anything.

Was walking behind these people near Washington Square Park today. Filmed them for a while. Roughly looped a segment of it and embedded it within a larger city soundscape.

You already saw one Jan Brewer meltdown today. But did you see this one? Absolutely astonishing. This woman is deliberately and dangerously dishonest.

Josh Cohen of Tubefilter says Status Kill has a “fantastic premise” that’s “equal parts action flick, clever comedy, and social commentary”.

I have to agree.

Last night’s screening went very well. The house was packed and people really seemed to enjoy it. If you haven’t seen the trailer, you can find it here.

Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA

Imagine moving to America in 1986 with this song and cars like boats and seatbelt buckles so hot they burned your skin. When we left Sweden it was still dark outside and it was raining. There was water all over the window when I waved to my family. They were standing on the tarmac and became so small. In America my dad bought a blue Cadillac Seville with a white top and you could only be naked at home and everyone had a religion except us. Kids were kidnapped and people couldn’t understand our accents. There was television all the time and all the food was sugar. In Sweden we had only two television channels and the prime minister had just been killed. Over and over they showed the dark street with a puddle of blood that looked sticky and black. America was shiny and New York was still dirty and I walked around with a lexicon for all the words I didn’t know, which was most of them, and I kept a diary of all the ones I did. When I learned the word ‘because’ I said it over and over again, even when it didn’t make sense, because it felt nice in my mouth. In my diary I wrote about being in love with Bruce Springsteen even though Born in the USA was the only song I knew and felt like I knew something secret about that country.

“I have been in the oil and gas industry for 40 years, and this administration is trying to break us. The moratorium they imposed is going to be a financial disaster for the gulf coast, gulf coast employees and gulf coast residents.””

Ms. Hagood made this statement yesterday.

Moving above 720p requires additional horsepower. In Apple’s case, higher resolutions also won’t be viewable on iPod/iPhone/iPad. But this is fine, because the overwhelming majority of Americans don’t have a fast enough pipe to watch proper 1080p video. Your Internet tubes are the same size whether you’re streaming 720p or 1080p. If it’s not being distributed on a disc or downloaded in full, it’s highly likely that 720p video will actually look better than 1080p. I’ll take more bits per line over more lines any day.
