What turntable almost looked like
We were perusing some old files and this was what the first designed version of turntable looked like. It’s funny looking back at it and feels like something out of TRON. Ultimately it didn’t fit in with the feel we wanted to give (making turntable feel like a small trendy, but homey venue).
gbattle sez:
This is hot, if only for the option of using it. I wish Turntable.fm allowed room owners to skin their venues like old school WinAmp (or Trillian, or your fave customizable desktop app from back in the day). That would be pretty awesome to personalize the rooms and not merely the Avatars, reflecting the vibe of the room. Imagine going to a club where all the rooms have different music but looked the same like some Agrestic community? Yup [Lame Button].
I was in a book store, eavesdropping on the conversation of two black ladies:
BL1: I finally got around to seeing The Help.
BL2: Oh yeah? How was it?
BL1: (weary laugh) Oh, you know.
BL2: Yup.(image via seoulbrother)
SMH.

This is a fantastic infographic explaining how bad carbs can be for you. I’ve tried to explain this to many people in person, but a flowchart makes it so much easier. Thanks to Massive Health for designing it.
I wish someone had told me this when I was 18 years old.

Bill Withers - “Ain’t No Sunshine” - Live at the Old Grey Whistle Test, 1972.
Watch James Gadson, the drummer, show you the art of cool. That cat is fresh to death.
D’Angelo & The Testimony - “Sugar Daddy”.
I am mad. D’Angelo is touring in Europe (actually playing in Paris right now). The above clip is live in Stockholm, Sweden. If you have his decade old live recording from Stockholm, this should bring back memories. I am mad that I’m not there watching this live right now.

Kiss - “Calling Dr. Love” - Rock And Roll Over. See my history with this album here.
The first recording I ever purchased was Kiss’ Rock And Roll Over in the summer of 1978. I knew I wanted a Kiss record and this was the most colorful one. It was a cassette actually, and it cost me $6.98 at K-Mart. I remember the cassette very clearly as it had a white case with a yellow sticker. I was in my basement the first time I pressed play on it. The studio version of “Calling Dr. Love” was especially catchy along with “Mr. Speed”, not that an 8 year old kid would know what either song was about. The first vinyl I ever purchased was Kiss Alive II, a double album. It took a while for me to save enough money to eventually buy Kiss Alive I which was the most expensive Kiss album at the time.

Platinum Pied Pipers Feat. Rogiérs - “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover” - Triple P. Cover day Friday is alive and well with this Paul Simon do-over (there’s actually two songs in there - bonus track from a bad rip, too lazy to fix it). Sorry I’ve been away.
Did Bob Dole Really Say This To Newt Gingrich?
- Newt Gingrich: Why do people take such an instant dislike of me?
- Bob Dole: Because it saves them time.
