Kate Hudson is 'Penny Lane' in "Almost Famous" (2000) (DreamWorks Pictures)
Thursday - September 29, 2016 Thu - 09/29/16
rantnrave:// PAUL SIMON once sang: "these are the days of miracle and wonder". Well, LEHMAN BROS. is no more. DONALD TRUMP is the Republican nominee for POTUS, TED CRUZ endorsed Trump and old friend LYOR COHEN joins YOUTUBE as its global head of music. YT's ROBERT KYNCL must have skills akin to the CIA's top asset recruiter. For all you "this will never happen" types, what next? PHILIPPE DAUMAN gives me a back rub? Many of us who have run digital music services over the years are waiting for the FEDEX Cohen is sending us filled with the teeth he kicked in over the years! $10k to charity if I can sit in on the first label meeting. I like to kid. Seriously, congrats to Lyor... My conversation with BNN's JON ERLICHMAN on how technology has changed HOLLYWOOD's business model and why it's looked to the music industry for a potential model, as margins for content creators become extremely tight... Over the past century, technological advancements have massively reduced the cost and time needed to create and circulate content. Though this has liberated artists, consumers are now drowning in a virtually infinite supply of things to watch, listen to and read. "Age of Abundance: How the Content Explosion Will Invert the Media Industry"... KATE HUDSON super likeable and cool on HOWARD STERN... I miss PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN so much... Moshi Moshi sneakerheads... Happy Birthday to REDEF's MATTY KARAS, OM MALIK, LLOYD BRAUN, JOSH ELMAN, ALISON GELB PINCUS, GENE BOLAN and OMID ASHTARI.

Meth Modernity
by Thom Bettridge
From fast-fashion to high-frequency trading, speed is now the prime mover in the world’s economy, so much so that it has entered our bio-chemistry. Anthropologist Jason Pine’s research into homemade meth production in rural Missouri shows that a backwater drug epidemic is in fact the spectre of an advanced mode of capitalism.

The Future of Disaster Relief Isn't the Red Cross
by Kyle Dickman
Team Rubicon began in 2010 with a unique dual mission: providing disaster relief and giving struggling American veterans a vital sense of purpose.

The most dangerous conspiracy theory of 2016
by Jeremy Herb
In a presidential campaign consumed by conspiracy theories, the most dangerous one looming over these final six weeks isn't about President Barack Obama's birthplace or whether Hillary Clinton is sick with more than pneumonia. It's the suggestion that the election itself won't be on the up and up.

by Sam McBride
