Links for 5.12.08: Hype’s payday, Banksy’s face, Metallica’s clips…
*Maybe Viacom will buy Hype Machine for a lot of money, or maybe someone else will. But still, do they know that people like the Hype for the stealing?
*TechCrunch posits that Blip is Twitter for music.
*The New Yorker on American Idol. On the flip side, NYer editor David Remnick offers up 100 Essential Jazz Albums.
*Earlier, I linked to a short Metallica video. Check out also the band’s new site: Mission: Metallica.
*Banksy uncovered!? It might be kind of nice, so we can move on…
*Video: Would you like to hear 50 Cent talk for an hour or more? Now you can! [getty images]
*Last.fm partners with Lollapalooza. They’ll have a Lolla channel and stream some tunes.
*Sort of off topic: On blogging and attribution. I have been waiting until I build up enough goodwill to write an angry screed about proper attributions and etiquette. At this rate, we’re looking at an early 2018 rollout. So read this and this instead.
People who don’t via should be neutered.

It’s easy for me to say here, because you’re the only guy who ever vias me.

Ha. Fair is fair. Everybody gets them from somewhere; dishonest of people to pretend otherwise. Uh oh, better stop before the screed comes spilling out.
