CES: Deutsche Raubkopierer "schuld" an Blu-ray-Entwicklung?


Während eines "Blu-ray Updates" im Rahmen der laufenden CES erklärte Benjamin S. Feingold, Präsident von Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment (CTSHE), dass sich Kinofilme über den späteren DVD-Verkauf wegen der steigenden Raubkopiereraktivitäten nicht mehr finanzieren ließen.

Remember '94? (O.J.) '54? (Elvis)


2004 marks several other notable 10th anniversaries, including those for Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction," the suicide of Kurt Cobain and the first episode of the sitcom "Friends." If that doesn't quite say it all about the state of the culture over the ensuing decade, it says a considerable amount: We had dead bodies, rampant sensationalism and an absurdly affluent class of single people living in gigantic big-city apartments without appearing to work for a living.

A Terrible Purchase Accident


Tomorrow is the second Friday of my now almost world-famous 52 albums or burn!-project. About half an hour ago, I compiled a list of all the recommendations I've received, minus a few I already knew or was unable to find any information on. The grand total now is 81 artists or bands, which is a bad thing since there are only 52 Fridays in a year. So the project might get pushed far into 2005. I plan to put the list online for you to glare at, but I'm not quite sure when that'll happen, maybe this weekend. Depends a on how much is happening in Real LifeTM.
