*Study says dancehall music leads to sex. Or seizures. [getty images]
*Read Barack Obama’s thank you letter to Shepard Fairey for the posters he designed. [good]
*Lil Wayne is pimping Strapped condoms. [idolator]
*I have been on the receiving end of much denigration for my purchase of a Blackberry Pearl. But what will my detractors be saying after I join Will.I.Am’s social network, Dipdive.
*Dead Buddy speakers. The perfect complement to the Voodoo knife holder.
*200k musicians are using iLike’s Universal Artist Dashboard? High.
*The Future of Music Coalition has lined up Wilco and Bright Eyes, among others to rock for Net Neutrality. [peefork]
*PowerPoint karaoke: Present a random deck of slides to a group of bored onlookers. It’s like every week of my job, but for fun. [adverlab]
*San Francisco readers: There’s a Naughty Librarians’ Convention happening today in your city. Just saying. [laughing squid]
Don’t know if you got one, but over at Highbrid Nation we got a cease and desist from Strapped Condoms telling us to take down the any ad with Lil Wayne, to never say anything bad about them again and to not even link to other sites with the ad. Of course we had a nice little laugh. Then we published the cease and desist and wrote an open letter to Strapped just to show the world how stupid they are.
Wait. So they didn’t want more people seeing the ad? HUH.
