rantnrave:// 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. The content explosion will invert the media industry. Age of Abundance... In a fast, reckless, intoxicating, beautiful life that ended at age 21, LIL PEEP created a remarkably deep catalog out of hazy hip-hop, vulnerable emo, a $200 microphone, GARAGEBAND, SOUNDCLOUD, a saggy mattress, depression, and a compulsive need to record. We take a look in "Lil Peep Made Beautiful Music Out of Awful Things"... A once far-off reality that I now closely long for... The fashion world was shocked when ALBER ELBAZ parted ways with LANVIN in 2015. Known for marrying a technician's approach with the eye of a dreamer, the designer revitalized the house of Lanvin and, at its height, showed that the creative and commercial could coexist. The industry continues to await his next move. "CLOSE-UP: Alber Elbaz, Beyond the Lanvin Legacy"... Not what BARRY DILLER had intended... Sad days lately? This will make you smile... How do you remember the athletes who never got to finish their careers—from ROBERTO CLEMENTE, who died helping earthquake survivors in NICARAGUA after notching his 3,000th hit, to HANK GATHERS, who collapsed on the court for LOYOLA MARYMOUNT, to SEAN TAYLOR, murdered in the middle of an All-Pro season with the WASHINGTON REDSKINS? It's mourning on the playing field for stars who never got to say goodbye. SportsSET: "The Sports Careers Cut Tragically Short"... My favorite purchase of the year... Happy Birthday to RACHAEL MCLEAN, SCOTTY SCHILLER, and JOHN S. COUCH.

Amazon's Last Mile
