  • To celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Joshua Tree, Irish rockers/builders of tall towers U2 will reissue their epic 1987 album in multiple formats on November 20th. The remastered album will be available as a single disc, double disc, double disc/single DVD, and double vinyl. The second disc will likely feature demos, alternate takes, and B-sides from the Brian Eno-produced sessions. The DVD will feature a July 4th, 1987 concert as well as the documentary Outside, It’s America.
  • To combat against video piracy and events like the Britney Spears’ “Gimme More” leak, YouTube will soon employ anti-piracy filters to automatically remove copyrighted clips. The computer program that will oversee this action will also give copyright holders the right to add ads to their videos if they choose to keep the clips posted on YouTube.
  • Diddy, not one to shy away from nightclub altercations, has decided not to turn himself in to authorities after allegedly punching a man several times during an incident at New York hotspot Kiosk this weekend.

koooool. the very first cd i bought was the joshua tree, upon its release in ‘87. the J.T. concert itself was also epic, memorable, and one of my favorites to date.

For someone who was supposedly bored by the whole thing, Johnny Asslicker sure did a thorough job of describing the Brit vid.

I saw the Britney video. Here’s a summary:

A trashy ditz (Britney) sits in a bar. Her attention is disrtacted. What’s this? THere’s a trashy ho (Britney) doing a striptease on stage. She is compelled by this for some reason. The viewer is supposed to identify with trashy ditz Britney’s facial reactions to the trashy ho on the stage - they’re unsure at first, then ‘hey, this girl’s got something!, then wow, I was impressed by that!’. Trashy ho Britney sluts around the pole singing ‘Gimme gimme more!’ with all the personality of a half-assed cartoon. Then the audience collectively yawns and changes the channel to something more stimulating and sexy, like ‘Sewing with Nancy’.
