The Economist In Chinese translated weekly by freedom-loving, capitalist loving, media pirates. Wow! To think that most American kids doing something illegal are smoking pot or downloading Hanna Montana MP3s.
For the first time ever, Mike Frumin posts this cool graph showing how pop songs open big and then decline. So much for “climbing the charts” — looks like most music does best on the opening week. Thanks to Mike for releasing the graph which was originally created for a top secret research project at a hedge fund. Andy Baio’s interesting recent work on pop songs reminded me of Mike’s chart. We are in the midst of a pop music chart Renaissance.
Culture Buzz Obsessive fan videos that that feature every instance of a word or phrase in a popular movie or TV show. Andy Baio coins a new word for a persistent web phenomena and Rex Sorgatz demands that BuzzFeed jump on the bandwagon. xoxo. Love you guys and the web. Here are some of our favorite supercuts.
