Art & Design. The Burning House
Art & Design. The Burning House: Swoon is one of those timeless artists. Her work has made a huge impact in the ways we view street art. Her unique portraits have an unprecedented way of capturing emotion and energy. Every time we're in the LES we can't stop looking at her work. So much so, we had to put her on the cover of issue 5. This month she's part of a great art installment.
Wendy Dembo from Cool Hunting recently attended The Burning House art installation. Here's a snippet of her take on the event: "I was recently in L.A. for the weekend and was lucky enough to catch “The Burning House,” a collaborative installation by Faile, Swoon and David Ellis at New Image Art now extended through 17 March 2007. Walking into the gallery is overwhelming. Much like Wooster on Spring, Every inch of wall, window, or door has been wheat pasted or painted over. As your eyes adjust, you start to see that a Swoon fish cut-out intertwines with a David Ellis “motion” painting, which are on top of a Faile sign. A beautiful and cohesive collaboration, it's hard to tell where one artist’s work ends and another begins."

Art & Design. New Sony Cam
Art & Design. New Sony Cam: Sony is running. We all know the PS3 is performing less than expected, but it's not stopping their production. This week they've debuted a number of new products that will hopefully bring some sort of resurgence. Their new flat screens, computers, digital cameras and stereo components are all hitting the market in huge numbers.
Overall we're excited. But, we're most excited about their new camera line - the H9 Cyber-shot. It has 15x optical zoom and improved shutter speeds. Also, "It's Sony's only cam (from this year's line show) to sport NightShot tech, which lets you shoot when the sun goes down. The 8MP snapper will also have a less expensive brother, the H7. Both ship in April for $480 and $400." [Gizmodo]

People News. MacBook Pro Shot!
People News. MacBook Pro Shot: PC computers are cool, but can they stop a bullet? It's no mystery that the Dork illuminati do their computing on macs. We're fans till the end and it all started with the Apple IIc. But let it be known that our love is not only about zeros and ones. It's not only about aesthetic appeal. A large part of our Apple affection has to do with their durability. Macs get shot and keep on rapping.
As reported by Wired: "Apple doesn't always get credit for the ruggedness of its products. That might change, after this Brazilian MacBook Pro survived a gunshot during a mugging. It's fine, and it looks like the latch is in better shape than the one on my PowerBook, so..."

Habitat. Hotel CRAM
Habitat. Hotel CRAM: Dork is on a constant search for inspirational spaces. Whether in your own home, traveling to cities or experiencing a boutique hotel - inspiration is out there. We tend to find the most inspiration from our traveling adventures. It's probably the excitement of going away and the anticipation of experiencing something new that puts us in a place to be more open minded and take in whatever comes our way. Of the many aesthetically pleasing cities that we want to check out, Barcelona is in our top five. The blend of centuries old and ultra post modern structures allow you to experience the history and modern culture of Barcelona.
Located in the heart of Barcelona, Hotel CRAM creatively showcases the architectural blend of the city’s past and present. The building's structure dates back to 1892 and has been able to maintain its historical look while the interior plays with bold colors and shapes to provide the ultimate in modern design and comfort. The 67 room boutique hotel has a hotel restaurant, bar and pool if you desire to experience all that the hotel has to offer or take advantage of it location and stroll the neighborhood. Either way, Hotel CRAM is an experience you don’t want to miss.

Artists. Owusu & Hannibal
Artists. Owusu & Hannibal: Meet your new roommates. In late 2006, Ubiquity Records released their debut album, Living With Owusu & Hannibal, a breathtaking addition to that as-yet-still-not-properly-named genre of retro, yet very futuristic soul that has been developing for the last several years.
Based in Norway, Philip Owusu & Robin Hannibal have only been making music together since 2005 and it's obvious that a powerful musical connection exists between the two. Philip Owusu's vocals manage to recall Maxwell while Robin Hannibal's production nods knowingly towards Dave Grusin's early 80's production work, J. Dilla, and Prince. The duo first caught the ears of tastemakers in the US thanks to appearances on the fifth installment of Ubiquity Records' Rewind series, featuring their ethereal cover of the Beach Boys' "Caroline, No"; and HVW8's Music Is My Art compilation which features the track "Blue Jay." Tracks such as "Delirium" and "Lonnie's Secret" later became favorites of club DJs and increased anticipation for their full length.

People News. MTV and Shared Videos
People News. MTV and Shared Videos: Digital media pushes another hand. The powers-that-be are gradually embracing a shared future. The New York Times wrote an article covering Viacom's recent announcement. Next week, they will allow other websites to share and embed their video content.
As reported by the NY Times: "A week before Viacom announced that it would make video content available online through a site called Joost, the Viacom-owned MTV Networks said that it would soon allow other Web sites to embed video clips from its own sites: MTV.com, VH1.com, Comedycentral.com, BET.com and others."

People. Jon Oliver Music
People. Jon Oliver Music: Technical djs are a rare thing. It seems everyone is a dj these days, especially with all the ipods, mp3 turntables and whatnot. Thankfully those jedi-skilled djs - the medinas, myles, bobbitos and centers - maintain the edge and integrity of an ever evolving artform.
Jon Oliver is another name we'd like to add to the list. His thorough blends, genre spanning mixes and overall history lessons school newcomer deejays. If you listen to his set, it becomes clear that he has enough heart to move dance floors while introducing new music. The guy is an inspiration in the dork offices. His latest mixtape called Juxtapose Volume 2 is in constant rotation. Be sure to check him out. You can catch him spinning at Madame X & Sip.

Habitat. LivingHome Architecture
Habitat. LivingHome Architecture: Green homes rule! To build a home without leaving a negative imprint on the world may seem overwhelming and impossible – but in recent years this trend is growing more popular and necessary. LivingHome is the answer. They use materials that are non-toxic and work with architects Ray Kappe and David Hertz to develop homes whose designs become beautiful pieces of art.
Compared to other modernist and ecological focused homes, the LivingHome is ultra luxe, requiring a substantial budget of around $750,000. However, with a price tag like that, it is guaranteed that you are getting a top of the line, expertly designed and crafted, environmentally focused dream home.

Art & Design. Jielde Lamp
Art & Design. Jielde Lamp: Good lighting is essential to design. The Jielde Lamp is a lighting icon when it comes to form and function. Its durable exterior and acute joints make this one of Dork's favorite desktop items.
Apartment therapy found some great pics and wrote a piece on Jielde today. As they report: "The Jielde lamp was designed in France in 1950 by Jean-Louis Domecq. [They're] still in production today, though we only find them at Inside Modern Living - where they are available to the trade and retailers." However, if you like the stylings of JL you can find inspired versions elsewhere. For instance we found a few at Ikea for our office.

Habitat. Millau Bridge in France
Habitat. Millau Bridge in France: Bridge construction has always fascinated us. The process is innovating and the stakes are high. One bad decision in design can have tragic effects later. Recently we came across this great article discussing the construction of the Millau Bridge in France - the highest bridge in the world.
As reported: "The Millau bridge over the River Tarn in the Massif Central mountains is more than 300m (984ft) high - taller even than the Eiffel Tower. With its concrete and steel pillars soaring high above the morning fog in the Tarn Valley, the construction makes a spectacular sight." Check it out, there are some great photos too.

Art & Design. Converging lines and Photography
Art & Design. Converging lines and Photography: Digital photography is one of Dork's favorite pastimes. Whether we're up on flickr or just emailing pictures back and forth, there are a ton of memories being captured. For that reason, articles like this are true gems. Digital Photography School, wrote a short piece on using converging lines to increase the interesting qualities of your photos.
As reported: "When framing a landscape shot one of the types of environmental features that many photographers look for an like to incorporate in their shots is converging lines. We’ve talked previously about how lines have the potential to add interest to an image - but add numerous lines that come together (or close together) and you have yet another tool to lead your viewers eye into a shot."

People News. Just Blaze on RBMA
People News. Just Blaze on RBMA: Just Blaze is an MPC guru. And until recently, we didn't realize how nice he was on the drums - no wonder his beats knock so hard. The Red Bull Music Academy has a nice podcast interview with him.
As reported on RBMA: "Just took to the mic like a seasoned pro, dealing with the couch kung-fu like a black belt. On his lyrical hitlist were rappers who surround themselves with yesmen in the studio (It's like, stop asking for their opinion man), the honeyz and entourage who roll up for a session ("We got every games console imaginable just outside that door. Now beat it.") and record shop dudes that demand a production credit just for selling breaks. Blaze explains why he doesn't need drink or drugs (just drums!) and we get to hear first hand the New Jersey childhood and upbringing of a Hip Hop production supremo. Lissen up!"

People News. Fighting Jet lag
People News. Fighting Jet lag: Recently, we found a great article on fighting jet lag. We used to think it was a myth, but after crossing the pacific, we realized multiple timezone travel can put a sizable thump on a person. Don't miss this article if you're the jet-setting type.
As reported by otBeach: "Jet lag is the result of travelers jumping time zones more quickly than the body can get accustomed to it. The eyes take in unexpected day or night lighting and get confused, disorienting the body. Stress prior to a flight or other physical conditions can increase the effects of jet lag. Business travelers tend to undergo the effects more frequently, which unfortunately affects their abilities in matters such as business meetings and negotiations. Vacation travelers can suffer, too, reducing the enjoyment of their stay."

Film. Three Times
Film. Three Times: Love is the recurring theme of Three Times. It tells three tales over three time periods - 1911, 1966 and 2005. In the first story, a man leaves his true love to serve in the army. When he returns, he finds that his girlfriend has disappeared, so he sets out to find her. A man develops an unlikely bond with two women in the second story; and four Taipei teens relieve their angst with technology and sex in the last story.
The film is an emotional experience. Simultaneously minimalist and extravagant in its execution - Three Times isn't simply about love as a constant, but how the expression of love is constantly changing.

People News. Knockoffs Landing on Retail Shelves
People News. Knockoffs Landing on Retail Shelves: Last year French luxury group LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton filed suit against Wal-Mart. LVMH owns more than 50 luxury brands, including Fendi.
The suit maintains that a Wal-Mart Sam's Club sold counterfeit Fendi bags for $508.25. The real models typically retail for $930. A similar lawsuit has been filed by Coach against Target. There is a big difference between a street vendor in New York selling fakes and a trusted brand doing the same thing. Is this really a trend or just an anomaly?

Film. Sherrybaby: Sherrybaby is a film about a woman's struggle to fit in with the rest of society. It illustrates the problems created by a cycle of abuse, in a culture that is becoming increasingly unforgiving.
Sherry wants to be a good mother, but she has a laundry list of issues and she's a convicted criminal. She's made mistakes and she's paying for them with her life. Second chances are fair, but third and fourth chances are just absurd. Ultimately, Sherry transcends her pain by facing the truth of her situation and letting go of all she has lost.

Juicy Mama Nail Paints
Art & Design. Juicy Mama Nail Paints: Even if sneaker companies and street brands continue to cater to men, there’s still someone looking out for the ladies. Fittingly so, her name is Mama. Well, her real name is actually Gabriella Davi-Khorasanee and the clothing line she runs is called Mama. She reps for the fly ladies with her mix of street and sass, and also runs M.I.S.S. a site for women doing their thing in design, art and music. Already an innovator, she collaborated with New Era last season to design one of the very first line of fitteds made especially for women.
Aimed with the knowledge that women collect sneakers just as much as the guys do, Mama took customs up another level - Nail Polish Colorways. Tired of seeing boring monotone colors on hands, Mama teamed up with Juicy Cosmetics to produce a set of fresh nail paints designed to match your kicks. The set includes Coco Noir (Black), Sky Blue (Lt. Blue) and Black Pearl (Grey) and comes packaged in a familiar orange box with a Mama nail file. The Nail Paints will be carried at select retailers from 5 & A Dime in San Diego to Colette in Paris and on DigitalGravel.com for the internetters.

Kicks & Tees. Nike Talaria Chukka 2007
Kicks & Tees. Nike Talaria Chukka 2007: Time moves forward and there are more colorful kicks for the dork squad. Highsnobiety has a nice piece on the new Air Talaria Chukka. Although the white on white jams don't sing to us, the multi-colored version, pictured above, is really saying something.
As reported on Highsnobiety: "In 1997, Nike released the original Air Talaria to wide acclaim throughout the running community. Now in 2007, Nike’s Innovation Kitchen has taken the iconic running product and envisioned it through an entirely different innovation lens to create the Talaria Chukka 2007. The Nike Talaria Chukka is balanced gracefully between two points of reference: One the original, and two the cutting-edge technology of today, which opens up new avenues of innovation."

Audio. Dork Magazine Rootdown Show #4
Audio. Dork Magazine Rootdown Show #4: Yow! Just in case you forgot, this is what we love, so get ready! We're bringing something real heavy - queue the jaylib heavy heavy sound. DM is excited to present Dork Magazine Rootdown #4. Ken Peebles - dork mag deejay, graphic designer & beatmaking music extraordinare - has compiled 5 songs for your listening pleasure. He's also crafted a nice write up for each song.
At dork central we're always talking about how context is everything. It can drive art - it certainly drives hip hop. So, with that formula we decided to explain all the things we love about the songs that we play on Rootdown. We don't regard each track as an isolated work, rather they're time capsules collectively issuing those good feelings we love. It's here. Show number 4 from DJ Ken Peebles. This episode we pay homage to the mighty flute.
Listen to Dork Magazine Rootdown Show #4 [Here]
Words and Music by Ken Peebles
Show four shines a spotlight on the not often used but always effective flute sample. I can’t think of any other instrument that can be jazzy, classical and surprisingly funky all at once. The sound from a great flute sample is always groovy and provides an unworldly soundscape.
1. Beasties Boys - Sure Shot
Absolute classic. Ill communication was probably my favourite album of the Beasties (plus through a price gun error I caught the full length for 12” prices!) Tough call between this and the obvious Flute Loop but this loop is undeniable and the drums are punishing. I gave you a little sample taste at the beginning of this too, but I’ll let you do the research on that one.
2. Pase Rock – Grey Matter
I actually heard this at random (again at the record store, killing my wallet) I went on to find out Pase Rock has done a lot of great stuff including working with Five Deez. This record just has a great swing to it. Rocking the Jimmy James drums, Pase flips the track on it’s ear by adding a crisp flute line. The effect overall is quite jazzy and laidback. It’s a great track to roll with or to chill with.
3. Lootpack – Answers
The swankiest beat ever? Well I know at Dork we like to stay away from absolutes so I’ll tone it down. This really was one of the most neck cracking grooves I ever heard on first listen though. Madlib provides a true triumph of simplicity. Slow rolling drums, a simple knocking bass line and one of the greatest flute samples since Sure Shot. This was another record I caught late in the game. I missed the original Lootpack LP when it came out and although I had heard a few tunes it was this tune that made me catch up with a quickness.
4. Edan – Beauty
I was introduced to Edan at a record shop called Dr.Disc back in London. It was the spot were I caught a lot of new music and after being pulled in by the crazy cover art, the song You Suck official sold me on this insanely creative Bostonian. There was a lot of anticipation for Edan’s second full length after he overtook the underground with his ’88 rap influenced debut Primitive Plus. It was hard to know what to expect. What Edan delivered was a vast departure, providing roaming melodies and vivid concepts. I think Beauty ties together what much of that album was about. As someone who at least attempts to make beats when you pick through this it’s amazing how much is going on here. Just let all those elements wash over you and hear the texture Edan was able to create. The man with more charisma than the average doesn’t disappoint with lines like The beautician is back / Humble Magnificent / Wizard of rap /Wearing tuxedos on the wax
5. Kardinal – Kemotherapy
Mr.Kardinal! As much as it’s probably better for everyone to keep genres and geography out of the equation of music I have to say Kardi is one of the greats to come out of Canada. Back in the mid nineties the visible Canadian hip hop scene was small enough for most fans to have a grip on who was who. The big dogs at the time where the F.O.S. Crew. That included among others Saukrates, Kardinal and Choclair. These three top players would all go on to extensive fame. Choclair made a good name for himself on the strength of his flow and voice. Saukrates would become in many ways the head of the Canadian hip hop movement as an incredible MC, producer and businessman. Kardinal stuck out as something special though. A great producer in his own right, Kardinal brought in his own love of Dancehall and Reggae to generate a new sound. This track sounds like something RZA would produce. File it under that ‘loop so repetitive it should annoy me, but I can’t get enough’ category. Simple progressive flute stabs pick you up and drop before grabbing you again.

Audio. Little Brother's New MixTape
Audio. Little Brother's New MixTape: Free downloadable mixtapes are the marketing strategy de jour. From Madlib and Kweli's Liberation to Little Brother and Mick Boogie's collabo entitled And Justus for All - it's good seeing innovation making moves around the RIAA. At least the artists are embracing the interwebs and broadband connections.
One of our favorite jams from Little Bro's new mixtape is A Word from our Sponsor. It's a door knocker featuring Von Pea. Von has long been an office favorite. I'm sure you've read our positive words about him. And, as usual he rips this track. His flow and approach embodies everything we love about hip hop. How has this cat not blown up yet? Ah well, I guess that's due course, but seriously more folks gotta catch up.

Habitat. 25 Supa-Strange & Cool Homes: Recently we found these interesting homes over at Digg. We're always on a search for cool and strange home photos. In this group, some are a little strange but a few of them highlight our favorite aspects of "modern living." One in particular is built in the shape of a dome and has that 1950s or 60s feel.
If you're ever looking for funky design books that tilt on the modern end, you should check out daab books. The publishing force was founded by Ralf Daab in November 2003 in Cologne, Germany. Together with the artist Feyyaz, they developed a new, trendy and unique program of design, architecture and photography books. We've managed to collect a nice library of these books and daab's are the best by far. [daab]

They're definitely playing the big brother beat on our design journalism. For these reasons we were excited to see their new resource entitled Dwell DesignSource.
Whether you're looking for designers, architects, art accessories, rugs, or other inspiring objects, the DesignSource has it all. The application is nicely packaged in a web 2.0-type usability. Once again the brand lives up to it's mission: "Dwell was created to champion an intelligent, thoughtful, and modern sensibility that stimulates our audience to envision—and realize—life at home in the modern world." Holla!

Art & Design. Madsteez
Art & Design. Madsteez: A few weeks back, we checked out Madsteez's opening at Space Downtown in Chelsea. His aesthetic is a playful collage of pop culture imagery. We couldn't help but be captivated by his George Costanza piece.
The show runs until February 28, so be sure to check it out soon. The super-sized Weeneze (Madsteez's illegitimate son) sculpture is mind-blowing. There's a cool video about his Dennis Hopper potrait after the jump. It was a project he embarked on because he was inspired by the portraits Hopper made of people who inspired him. It's really fun stuff. [photo credit: Eric Magnessun]

Film. Unknown
Film. Unknown: Five men wake up together trapped in a chemical warehouse in the middle of the desert with no knowledge of who they are or how they ended up in their present situation. Despite their shared amnesia, the men must work together to figure out who's who in order to avoid execution.
Underneath Unknown's intricate plot, there is the potential for a profound existential drama. Unfortunately, the film barely explores the question it poses in the opening scene, "Who am I?" This stylish thriller is bolstered by a top-notch cast of actors, including Greg Kinnear, Jeremy Sisto, and Joe Pantoliano, who all deliver gritty performances. In the end, Unknown is an entertaining diversion - the perfect thing to watch when you're suffering from insomnia.

Habitat. Favela Painting: Mural projects beautify cities. We've seen great work all over the world. For instance, Philadelphia has an excellent mural arts program. The project unifies both the community and commissioned artist to paint a piece reflective of the area's inspirations. Now, thanks to Ray, we've discovered another fantastic mural arts project. This one is located in Brazil.
Dre Urhahn and Jeroen Koolhaas came together to start Favela Painting. It all started two years ago when the two teamed up to produce the documentary Firmeza Total which has been aired on MTV and was shown at several international film festivals. During the production, they came up with the idea for the Favela Painting Project and returned to Brazil in September 2006 to study the possibilities of this project. Now you can view the end results.

Habitat. Nuclear Winter in Chernobyl: Trey Ratcliff is an HD genius. We love his photography. Not only does he freeze time, but he also captures movement in every photos' quiet stillness. How he does it, we don't know. All we know is he's the man. His post-work on images makes them really zing.
Trey visited Chernobyl and delivered on the photos. From his site: "The [following] pictures use either no HDR, some HDR, or other filters to add to the bleak and lonely feel of the area. I spent the day with one of my friends and he hooked me up with a private tour. Anyway, I decided to go for the day to check it out. Every women in my life told me this was a bad idea. Every man said it sounded awesome. It was awesome, although I usually fair better when I listen to the women."

Audio. Wu-Tang & Friends: So I saw the Grammys last night. As I watched The Police perform for the second or third time since breaking up in 1984, it occurred to me. Someday, maybe 15 years from now, Wu-Tang will be doing the same perfomance. That is going to be one interesting show.
Wu-Tang Clan's DJ Mathematics has compiled rare recordings, remixes, unreleased tracks, and outtakes from the cutting room floor that didn’t make previous Wu-Tang albums. The compilation works as an audio archive, filling in gaps and providing new context to old favorites like Ghost's Maxine. Who knows, maybe they'll perform one of these songs at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards. Either way, the album is worth checking out.

Film. Manderlay
Film. Manderlay: Manderlay is a difficult film. The subject matter is painful. So the obvious question is: why would anyone want to watch it?
Manderlay is set in the South in the late 1930's. It explores the ethical dilemna a young woman experiences when she stumbles on a plantation that is operating as if slavery hadn't been abolished. When aksed if the provocative plot gave her reservations, Bryce Dallas Howard said: "It hasn’t given me any reservations, it made me feel really uncomfortable as an American who has these really ignorant views on things. So reservations, no, no, no, not at all! Things need to be changed and I think this is the way to go about it. Nobody listens to politicians anymore, but people watch movies and when they go into a movie theatre, they are not defensive, where as if you listen to politicians you automatically get defensive. Movies are a medium in which people can go about getting messages out and different perspectives out, so I think it is really important." [quotes courtesy IFC Films]

Op-Ed. There Is Such a Thing as Too Much Information
Op-Ed. There Is Such a Thing as Too Much Information: [words by Joey] If I were to never work another day in my life, for entertainment and engagement I would not want. Between the newspaper, the NBA, Michigan sports, my backlog of nonfiction, television, movies, blogs, Wikipedia, and YouTube, there would be plenty to learn, watch, and read. The idea of "the information age" has become a hackneyed catch phrase that gets bandied about with "Web 2.0" frequency, but the truth behind the jargon remains. There is literally too much for a curious, employed person to fully digest.
This proliferation of stuff ("information" is a word I get tired of using) isn't without its unfortunate manifestations, though, and one obvious example is that our heroes can appear to be regrettably human when they take us too far behind the scenes. For instance, before internets and digital everything, your favorite music producer was a pleasant curiosity, shrouded in relative mystery and made greater thanks to it.
Through the occasional magazine feature or radio interview, you might learn about the genesis of a classic beat or the history behind a professional relationship that yielded hit after hit. If you went to a concert, you might learn more as someone like Premier spun records and yelled at you. But mostly, you just heard beats; smiled when you liked them because it felt like a friend had done you a favor; and lost yourself in the synthetic personality of this person whom you admired. I never knew much beyond the basics about Pete Rock, but I didn't really care. He was cool-on-record personified. Until recently, I didn't know what Just Blaze did all the time, and about that, too, I didn't really care. I just liked hearing the name drop before some blaring heatrock came on.
But that's no longer the case. Now, I can watch him play video games:
Have you ever fantasized about being "in the studio" with great rappers? About grabbing a Starbucks with some esteemed actor? About hanging with a star athlete? None of that stuff is a secret, anymore, and it can suck to find out the truth. The knowledge now at our disposal oftentimes destroys the fantasies that we used to construct in a simpler time. On balance, things have changed for the better, and the increased access can certainly carry with it great reward...
...but too often, we can now see our heroes for the people they really are: regular, just with unique talents. Surely, affecting an everyman persona can enhance someone's rep. But seeing a cartoon rapper dissolve into little more than a hysterically screaming fool makes it harder and harder to extend to him the benefit of the doubt that might have cast him as a shrewd operator. Instead, he just seems like an idiot:
Sometimes, I think I liked it better when I knew less.

People News. The Beat Bat Cave!
People News. The Beat Bat Cave: Imagine having a secret lab where you can make beats all day. That's the home of Eddie F. Tucked away in a suburban neighborhood, Eddie works on hit after hit. Recently the New York Times did a profile of his work and low key studio.
As reported by the Times: "By Alpine’s standards Eddie Farrell’s house is hardly jaw-dropping. A five-bedroom split-level ranch with a lawn and swimming pool, it is to all outward appearances a slice of cookie-cutter, upper-middle-class domesticity. But buzz the intercom, and a visitor soon descends into a hip-hop version of Bruce Wayne’s Batcave..."

Events. Dilla Dawg!
Events. Dilla Dawg! Come celebrate the life, the music, the magic of the man - jay dee aka jay dilla aka Mr. Make-them-speakers-pop. Tomorrow night (Feb 10) we're rocking out at Galapagos with special guest Pharoahe Monch. It's going to be bananas. You have to come by if you're in the New York area. Ah - scratch that - if you're in the tri-state area come on by. It's going to be a spectacular event. Big shout to our fam Rare Form, Stones Throw, Wax Poetics, Brooklyn Bodega, Okayplayer, and Miss Nelch.
Also, be sure to check out Dilla's upcoming re-release, Ruff Draft! As described on Stones Throw: "These self-produced tracks make up one of the late J Dilla’s least known works. Released on vinyl only in February 2003 by Dilla’s own newly-formed Mummy Records and distributed by the German label Groove Attack, this sought-after release remains elusive and virtually unknown to the casual Dilla fan. In retrospect, Ruff Draft proved to mark a turning point in Dilla’s career. He spent the ’90s making a name for himself as an all-around, top-notch hip-hop producer. First arriving on the scene with his own group Slum Village in his native Detroit, Dilla would establish himself throughout the decade on classic tracks for A Tribe Called Quest, Common, The Pharcyde and De La Soul, eventually branching out to work with a variety of heavy-hitters in hip-hop and R&B, from Busta Rhymes and The Roots to D’Angelo and Erykah Badu."

People News. Can Apple open the DRM
People News. Can Apple open the DRM?: Imagine a world without digital rights management (DRM). That's the stuff that makes it difficult to send a legally downloaded song to your friend. And, it's also the stuff that makes it really annoying when you want to transfer your own music to a new ipod, mp3 player or computer. Some say that Apple and Microsoft should come together to convince the music industry to let go of DRM. Until then, Steve Jobs has something to say.
An open letter from Steve Jobs: "With the stunning global success of Apple's iPod music player and iTunes online music store, some have called for Apple to "open" the digital rights management (DRM) system that Apple uses to protect its music against theft, so that music purchased from iTunes can be played on digital devices purchased from other companies, and protected music purchased from other online music stores can play on iPods. Let's examine the current situation and how we got here, then look at three possible alternatives for the future."
To begin, it is useful to remember that all iPods play music that is free of any DRM and encoded in "open" licensable formats such as MP3 and AAC. iPod users can and do acquire their music from many sources, including CDs they own. Music on CDs can be easily imported into the freely-downloadable iTunes jukebox software which runs on both Macs and Windows PCs, and is automatically encoded into the open AAC or MP3 formats without any DRM. This music can be played on iPods or any other music players that play these open formats.
The rub comes from the music Apple sells on its online iTunes Store. Since Apple does not own or control any music itself, it must license the rights to distribute music from others, primarily the "big four" music companies: Universal, Sony BMG, Warner and EMI. These four companies control the distribution of over 70% of the world's music. When Apple approached these companies to license their music to distribute legally over the Internet, they were extremely cautious and required Apple to protect their music from being illegally copied. The solution was to create a DRM system, which envelopes each song purchased from the iTunes store in special and secret software so that it cannot be played on unauthorized devices.
Apple was able to negotiate landmark usage rights at the time, which include allowing users to play their DRM protected music on up to 5 computers and on an unlimited number of iPods. Obtaining such rights from the music companies was unprecedented at the time, and even today is unmatched by most other digital music services. However, a key provision of our agreements with the music companies is that if our DRM system is compromised and their music becomes playable on unauthorized devices, we have only a small number of weeks to fix the problem or they can withdraw their entire music catalog from our iTunes store.
To prevent illegal copies, DRM systems must allow only authorized devices to play the protected music. If a copy of a DRM protected song is posted on the Internet, it should not be able to play on a downloader's computer or portable music device. To achieve this, a DRM system employs secrets. There is no theory of protecting content other than keeping secrets. In other words, even if one uses the most sophisticated cryptographic locks to protect the actual music, one must still "hide" the keys which unlock the music on the user's computer or portable music player. No one has ever implemented a DRM system that does not depend on such secrets for its operation.
The problem, of course, is that there are many smart people in the world, some with a lot of time on their hands, who love to discover such secrets and publish a way for everyone to get free (and stolen) music. They are often successful in doing just that, so any company trying to protect content using a DRM must frequently update it with new and harder to discover secrets. It is a cat-and-mouse game. Apple's DRM system is called FairPlay. While we have had a few breaches in FairPlay, we have been able to successfully repair them through updating the iTunes store software, the iTunes jukebox software and software in the iPods themselves. So far we have met our commitments to the music companies to protect their music, and we have given users the most liberal usage rights available in the industry for legally downloaded music.
With this background, let's now explore three different alternatives for the future.
The first alternative is to continue on the current course, with each manufacturer competing freely with their own "top to bottom" proprietary systems for selling, playing and protecting music. It is a very competitive market, with major global companies making large investments to develop new music players and online music stores. Apple, Microsoft and Sony all compete with proprietary systems. Music purchased from Microsoft's Zune store will only play on Zune players; music purchased from Sony's Connect store will only play on Sony's players; and music purchased from Apple's iTunes store will only play on iPods. This is the current state of affairs in the industry, and customers are being well served with a continuing stream of innovative products and a wide variety of choices.
Some have argued that once a consumer purchases a body of music from one of the proprietary music stores, they are forever locked into only using music players from that one company. Or, if they buy a specific player, they are locked into buying music only from that company's music store. Is this true? Let's look at the data for iPods and the iTunes store – they are the industry's most popular products and we have accurate data for them. Through the end of 2006, customers purchased a total of 90 million iPods and 2 billion songs from the iTunes store. On average, that's 22 songs purchased from the iTunes store for each iPod ever sold.
Today's most popular iPod holds 1000 songs, and research tells us that the average iPod is nearly full. This means that only 22 out of 1000 songs, or under 3% of the music on the average iPod, is purchased from the iTunes store and protected with a DRM. The remaining 97% of the music is unprotected and playable on any player that can play the open formats. Its hard to believe that just 3% of the music on the average iPod is enough to lock users into buying only iPods in the future. And since 97% of the music on the average iPod was not purchased from the iTunes store, iPod users are clearly not locked into the iTunes store to acquire their music.
The second alternative is for Apple to license its FairPlay DRM technology to current and future competitors with the goal of achieving interoperability between different company's players and music stores. On the surface, this seems like a good idea since it might offer customers increased choice now and in the future. And Apple might benefit by charging a small licensing fee for its FairPlay DRM. However, when we look a bit deeper, problems begin to emerge. The most serious problem is that licensing a DRM involves disclosing some of its secrets to many people in many companies, and history tells us that inevitably these secrets will leak. The Internet has made such leaks far more damaging, since a single leak can be spread worldwide in less than a minute. Such leaks can rapidly result in software programs available as free downloads on the Internet which will disable the DRM protection so that formerly protected songs can be played on unauthorized players.
An equally serious problem is how to quickly repair the damage caused by such a leak. A successful repair will likely involve enhancing the music store software, the music jukebox software, and the software in the players with new secrets, then transferring this updated software into the tens (or hundreds) of millions of Macs, Windows PCs and players already in use. This must all be done quickly and in a very coordinated way. Such an undertaking is very difficult when just one company controls all of the pieces. It is near impossible if multiple companies control separate pieces of the puzzle, and all of them must quickly act in concert to repair the damage from a leak.
Apple has concluded that if it licenses FairPlay to others, it can no longer guarantee to protect the music it licenses from the big four music companies. Perhaps this same conclusion contributed to Microsoft's recent decision to switch their emphasis from an "open" model of licensing their DRM to others to a "closed" model of offering a proprietary music store, proprietary jukebox software and proprietary players.
The third alternative is to abolish DRMs entirely. Imagine a world where every online store sells DRM-free music encoded in open licensable formats. In such a world, any player can play music purchased from any store, and any store can sell music which is playable on all players. This is clearly the best alternative for consumers, and Apple would embrace it in a heartbeat. If the big four music companies would license Apple their music without the requirement that it be protected with a DRM, we would switch to selling only DRM-free music on our iTunes store. Every iPod ever made will play this DRM-free music.
Why would the big four music companies agree to let Apple and others distribute their music without using DRM systems to protect it? The simplest answer is because DRMs haven't worked, and may never work, to halt music piracy. Though the big four music companies require that all their music sold online be protected with DRMs, these same music companies continue to sell billions of CDs a year which contain completely unprotected music. That's right! No DRM system was ever developed for the CD, so all the music distributed on CDs can be easily uploaded to the Internet, then (illegally) downloaded and played on any computer or player.
In 2006, under 2 billion DRM-protected songs were sold worldwide by online stores, while over 20 billion songs were sold completely DRM-free and unprotected on CDs by the music companies themselves. The music companies sell the vast majority of their music DRM-free, and show no signs of changing this behavior, since the overwhelming majority of their revenues depend on selling CDs which must play in CD players that support no DRM system.
So if the music companies are selling over 90 percent of their music DRM-free, what benefits do they get from selling the remaining small percentage of their music encumbered with a DRM system? There appear to be none. If anything, the technical expertise and overhead required to create, operate and update a DRM system has limited the number of participants selling DRM protected music. If such requirements were removed, the music industry might experience an influx of new companies willing to invest in innovative new stores and players. This can only be seen as a positive by the music companies.
Much of the concern over DRM systems has arisen in European countries. Perhaps those unhappy with the current situation should redirect their energies towards persuading the music companies to sell their music DRM-free. For Europeans, two and a half of the big four music companies are located right in their backyard. The largest, Universal, is 100% owned by Vivendi, a French company. EMI is a British company, and Sony BMG is 50% owned by Bertelsmann, a German company. Convincing them to license their music to Apple and others DRM-free will create a truly interoperable music marketplace. Apple will embrace this wholeheartedly.

Habitat. Micro Compact Homes
Habitat. Micro Compact Homes: Maximizing space is an artform. It's one thing to be small, but to be small functional and beautiful is awesome. That's our feeling about the Micro Compact Home. It's your full service trailer colliding at 1000 mph with modernism.
As reported on Gizmodo: "You think your house is small? Get a load of this 8.5-foot cube, the Micro Compact Home (m-ch). Even though its interior is a bit cramped, its architects tried to overcome that claustrophobic feeling with luxo-sport Euro design and plenty of windows. It's a lot cheaper than a regular house, too, selling for between $32,500 and $44,225. Sure, the designers believe in that "less is more" principle, but it's hard to imagine spending much time in this little aluminum-clad wooden doghouse. There are two tiny double beds in there, along with a table that can supposedly seat five, a shower, toilet and a kitchen, plus it's heated and air-conditioned. Is this how we'll be living after the apocalypse?"

Habitat. Kanye's New Apartment: Just in case you missed it. A little while back the Fader hipped us to Kanye's new crib (Don't forget to download Fader's latest issue, #43*). While it was really cool checking out the ultra-minimalist project, the even cooler discovery was Dezeen Design Magazine.
The online publication does a great job of combing the interwebs for everything interesting and cutting edge in design and structure. We were checking out the site for hours. Not to mention, the scoop on Kanye is a pretty serious find - talk about link heavy. So kudos to the team over at Dezeen Mag.

Habitat. Muji in New York
Habitat. Muji in New York: Muji is minimalism at its finest. It's the "everything" store with class. You can find a note pad, bed and lamp all in the same area, and each one will have Muji's signature simplicity. Clean lines, measured colors and a knack for utility are the words one could use to describe Muji's essence.
You won't have to travel to Tokyo to check out Muji. From what we understand, the corporation is building two stores in New York City - sometime this year. Although there are no web verifications, a little bird told us that this is true. We sure hope so!

Art & Design. Flickr Hacks
Art & Design. Flickr Hacks: Digital photos are the best. There're many online photo applications, but there're none like the mighty Flickr. By far dork's favorite web 2.0 jam, Flickr has become a place for our inspiration. Whether we're looking at our friends work like Mel D Cole* or Sean Marc Lee* - you can always depend on seeing some beautiful photography. The coding is clean, and the controls are intuituve. It's no wonder why the design-program world has adopted the app as the go to choice.
Thomas Hawk points out the very best of Flickr's usability. As he reports, "One of the nice things about Flickr is that because of their open API a whole host of developers have built more and more interesting things to do with the site. It's interesting to me today that so many of the ways that I use Flickr are not even through the site as designed by Yahoo, but instead through the work of outside developers who are constantly creating new and interesting ways to experience the site. Today I thought I'd share what I think are the top 10 Hacks on Flickr."

Film. Idiocracy
Film. Idiocracy: What happens when a filmmaker attacks his audience? Idiocracy. The film is the latest from Mike Judge, creator of Beavis and Butthead and Office Space. These earlier projects were both huge commercially, yet Idiocracy was barely promoted and flopped when it was released last year.
Ultimately, Idiocracy is an unfinished work. It has a great beginning, and a great ending, but no middle. Add to that, the film's troubling endorsement of eugenics. And a film that had the potential to be the comedy of the year, ends up being something cool to watch on a lazy Sunday.

Link Heavy. Super Deluxe: Super Deluxe is an awesome concept. It gives established and up-and-coming comedians a chance to showcase their work. All of Super Deluxe's content is original and exclusively developed for the website. When you think about how important comedy is to the vitality of the Internets, Super Deluxe has the potential to be huge. I'm talking about Godzilla versus Fat Albert huge.
Super Deluxe has the office buzzing. We're really impressed with the quality of the content. It makes you realize how dated the medium of television is. While the networks continue to pump out salacious reality shows, and game shows that require you to do nothing more than point to a suitcase, super deluxe ideas are being shared online.

Art & Design. Nike the Ripper: We all saw what happened in Boston. Street art is powerful. These days it can raise the National Security level from yellow to orange. But, it can also do it's usual thing - spark good conversation. The Wooster Collective has some great commentary on a piece found in Munich called Nike the Ripper.
As reported on WC: "If you logged onto the Wooster site this morning then you may have noticed that we put the 'Nike The Ripper' culture jam photograph shown above on the site, and then not too long after we temporarily took it off to respect an email that we received moments after posting it. Why did we take it down? Well it was one of those cases where the artist who created the work left it up to everyone else for interpretation. This is the type of work that we like the most, so for us we don't need to always understand what something means. But this was one of those cases where an email we received prompted us to slow down a bit and ask the artist for some insight into the work."
