The MediaSquat: Michael Jackson Almost Crashed the Internet

September 21, 2009 by DJ Lanphier

A segment that I wrote and produced for The Media Squat with Douglas Rushkoff on WFMU 91.1 FM on Michael Jackson as media star and hacker.

During the show, Douglas has an interesting conversation with Paul Krassner that touches on how issue oriented satire has changed over time from Lenny Bruce to Jon Stewart, conspiracy theories in the real world and Krassner’s new book Who’s to Say What’s Obscene:Politics, Culture & Comedy in America Today.

Please listen to the entire show. The segment below runs five minutes.

I put a spell on you

A lot of musicians have covered this Screamin’ Jay Hawkins classic. And, his original is hard to beat, although it feels a little novelty like. Nina Simone gives it a go and nails it as always.

Original version of song and video for Bowie’s classic, from the promo film “Love You Til Tuesday“. I love the camera work in it. And, the design is a lot of fun. One of my favs.

A few links worth sharing….

Truly Free Film: Plea To The New Generation: Embrace Transmedia Storytelling! – Ted Hope links to a great article on the future of film making. The world is changing, the mediascape is changing to be sure, but there are opportunities. It makes me smile knowing kindred spirits are out there!
Nice article on Yoko Ono, review of her upcoming album…

… While we stand aside and look?

Via Ecochickie, reminded that it’s Bob Marley’s birthday. A little Redemption Song for good measure. Still relevant after all these years. Amazing.

Hump day music video. “Bad” by U2 from 1985. For Tim.

u2 at the lincoln memorial

January 19, 2009 by DJ Lanphier

It was kind of cool to see the boys from Dublin up on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial playing “Pride (in the name of love)” and “City of Blinding Lights” at the pre-inauguration event, televised on HBO. Pretty amazing performance, considering how cold it was… The juxtaposition of a rock band in front of so many flags feels a little jingoistic, but it’s great television… and catch what Bono says about the dream towards the end…. classic.
