Co-opting Viral Hits to Sell More Music

The wedding entrance dance video that swept across the internet like a flash flood is revealing some interesting lessons in the business of YouTube copyright claims.  Chris Brown’s song, “ Forever ” is used without permission in the video and his label could easily have sued or removed the video with a copyright claim.  However, they decided to harness the power of the viral video and install and buy-now link for the hit single, reaping huge rewards in the process.

Stop Walking Past and Come On In

Caffino 1185 King Street West 416-588-9010 Dinner for two with all taxes, tip, wine and coffee: $110 I’ve walked past Caffino a hundred times – literally – without ever going in. When I worked in Liberty Village I would consider grabbing my morning coffee from there, but the Roastery was closer to work and on cold winter mornings, travel time really did count. Even living 5 minutes away wasn’t compelling enough, especially when hot new places started popping up nearby.

Gustav Holst’s “The Planets” by Cornell University

If you like classical music, and in particular the Holst suite “The Planets,” then I encourage you to follow this link to the iTunes store. Cornell University has performed this music and made it available on iTunes free of charge.  I don’t know if this was a mistake or a limited time offer, but it’s worth checking it out. I’ve only listened to the first few minutes of it, so I can’t make a judgment as to the quality

Todd and Sarah Palin to Divorce

Anyone who reads this blog knows that I think Sarah Palin is the biggest joke of a politician of all time.  I do not totally blame her, though.  She just got in way over her head and then listened to the wrong people for advice.  However, the website that first broke the news that she would run for governor of Alaska and that she would be McCain’s running mate says that Todd and Sarah Palin are to divorce.  Remember, back when she resigned, I indicated something much bigger was behind her

Marcus Johnson | Poetically Justified

Marcus Johnson – Poetically Justified As the heartbreaking lyrics declares from one of Elton John’s classic “Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word”: “It is a sad, sad situation.”   In this case, it has nothing to do with a frustrating love relationship, but it is the current state of contemporary jazz mostly in the U.S. east coast region from record labels shutting down shop or lack of radio station play.   However, there is a certified talent who continues to dream big in the na

Charming, Country Club Wedding

I hope everyone had a great weekend! We had a blast at my brother-in-law’s 30th birthday (Happy B-Day, Brad!), hitting up the children’s museum with our little bug, hanging out enjoying the summer. I wish it would stay Summer forever! Anyway, over the weekend, I got an email from one of our readers wondering why we don’t show more country club weddings. After all, many of you are looking to throw traditional, sweet weddings in area clubs and need more inspiration! So, I am on the hunt for chic, stylish country club chic affairs and this one is just that! It’s a little more simple than some of you are probably looking for, but it is utterly charming and will offer TONS of ideas and inspirations! Photographed by none other than Little Black Book member Q Weddings (awesome by the way), this wedding is ALL about the pretty

Morning Roundup: Endless Simmer Edition

Photo by Chris Rief aka Spodie Odie Good morning, D.C., and welcome to the first, tortuous August day spent in the office of 2009. There really ought to just be an agreement that no one does anything of any importance for the entire month, so we can all stop pretending to be hard at work when we’re really merely staring at the computer screen, counting down the days until we can get out of our convection oven of a city for a real break. Or maybe Virginia has it right, where today is Tele
