Best regards, Kurt

On August 2nd, 1993, Kurt Cobain wrote the following letter to Beat legend William Burroughs. Cobain had been a fan of the author's work for many years and even collaborated with Burroughs on The "Priest" They Called Him in 1992, but to Cobain's dismay they still hadn't met. In preparation for the video to Heart-Shaped Box, Cobain wrote to Burroughs and asked him to appear, even if it meant disguising his face to avoid unwanted attention. He politely declined. Cobain did eventually meet Burroughs, in October of that year, and they exchanged gifts.

Cobain passed away six months later.

More about their relationship can be read here.

Mr. William Burroughs
WILLIAM BURROUGHS COMUNICATIONS

Dear William:

It's a bit odd writing someone whom I've never met but with whom I've already recorded a record. I really enjoyed the opportunity to do the record -- it's a great honor to be pictured alongside you on the back cover. I am writing you now regarding the possibility of your appearing alongside my band (Nirvana) in the first video from our new album, "In Utero."

While I know that Michael Meisel from Gold Mountain Entertainment (my management company) has been speaking to James Grauerholz, I wanted the opportunity to personally let you know why I wanted you to appear in the video.

Most importantly, I wanted you to know that this request is not based on a desire to exploit you in any way. I realize that stories in the press regarding my drug use may make you think that this request comes from a desire to parallel our lives. Let me assure you that this is not the case. As a fan and student of your work, I would cherish the opportunity to work directly with you. To the extent that you may want to avoid any direct use of your image (thus avoiding the aforementioned link for the press to devour). I would be happy to have my director look into make-up techniques that could conceal your identity. While I would be proud to have William Burroughs appear as himself in my video, I am more concerned with getting the opportunity to work with you than I am with letting the public know (should that be your wish).

Having said that, let me reiterate how much I would like to make this happen. While I am comfortable letting Michael and James discuss this further, I am available to discuss this with you at your convenience.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Best regards,

(Signed, 'Kurt')

Kurt Cobain

Perhaps looking somewhat thuggish, they still seemed gentlemanly enough, so when Clarice Starling spotted them on her way to work, she didn’t think twice about it.

As she passed them, she gave them a shy smile. And when she received a smirk in return, she realized the worst: They were mockingbirds. Roosting over a construction site.

“Hey, chick! Nice flanks – they could kind of use some work, dontcha think? And what kind of flight feathers are those? You know, in some human worlds, they’d call your tarsus a cankle! Anyone ever tell you your rump is bigger than a toucan’s mandible?”

War Rocket Ajax #14: Brovember to Remember!

  • Nov. 23rd, 2009 at 5:05 PM

 

 

This week on War Rocket Ajax, we’ve once again deviated from our usual format for a Bonus Stage–or should I say, BRO-nus Stage–as the War Rocket Ajax crew of bros sits down to answer your listener mail on the air!

For this special pre-Thanksgiving episode, Euge and I are joined on the mic by Ajax regulars Rusty Shackles and Matt Wilson, plus Solomon Stone artist Matthew Allen Smith joins us all the way from the UK! You’ll hear us debate the merits of Dr. Dre’s 2001, decide whether we want a teen, robot or monkey for our sidekicks, compare Futurama to Tony Jaa’s Tom Yum Goong, and–at long last–find out Smithy’s opinions on Radiohead.

Unfortunately, we didn’t get to everyone’s questions, but this was so much fun that we’re thinking of including a listener mail segment in future episodes! So if you’ve got questions you want the Ajax crew to answer, mail ‘em to Euge at warrocketpodcast [at] gmail.com, and enjoy the show!

AOL becomes Aol.

  • Nov. 23rd, 2009 at 3:32 PM

Wolff Olins New York has created a new identity for one of the internet's pioneering (but now ailing) brands, AOL

The brand, which introduced millions to the wonders of the world wide web, has struggled to stay relevant in recent years. A New York Times report reveals that AOL chairman and chief executive Tim Armstrong even considered dumping the AOL name altogether as it prepares to be spun off from Time Warner.

Instead, he asked Wolff Olins in New York to help turn it around. Wolff Olins' solution involves using a set of hundreds of different backgrounds to sit behind the new mark in which AOL is written Aol. (don't forget the full-stop).

It's use of interchangeable imagery is a similar approach to that employed by WO for New York whereby the basic logo could be filled with various images to add freshness, while the goldfish is somewhat reminiscent of a piece of work by one of WO's founders - Michael Wolff's logo for The Consortium.

More will be unveiled at the official launch on December 10.

Hamster for a Day!

Call your travel agent:  A hotel in Nantes, France lets guests feast on hamster grain, run in a giant wheel and sleep in hay stacks in a suite designed to resemble a hamster cage.  Judging from these absolutely-100-percent-genuine-no-honestly-would-we-lie-to-you photos, the level of detail is amazingly lifelike.

New Antony Gormley website

  • Nov. 23rd, 2009 at 10:24 AM

Amp London is behind a new website for Antony Gormley that documents thousands of the artist's drawings and sculptures...

The site – antonygormley.com – took two years to realise and contains a wealth of imagery of Gormley's work since the early 1970s. It also features numerous unpublished pieces, sketches and drawings.

According to Amp much of the hard work is behind the scenes ensuring that, despite being an image-heavy site, the pages load up quickly. The navigation is also nicely done, with a clean list of Gormley's pieces listed as thumbnails leading through to larger versions and captions. 

"For the gallery pages we had to build an image viewer that could handle an unlimited number of images," explains Amp's Chester Chipperfield. "The site was built from the ground-up using custom components and it uses a combination of server-side caching and image loading and unloading, depending on if the image is 'on' or 'off' the screen. The search feature also uses our own backend indexing utilities."

In the Resources section there are also numerous essays, photographs of his studio, and audio and videos files for the committed Gormley fan including, a little bizarrely, his 1998 appearance on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.

antonygormley.com launces today.

Design Team: Chester Chipperfield, Melanie Bartheidel, James Hurst, Hugh Charrington. Development Team: Russell Hall, Oliver Brook, Bryan Hunt, Rory Cullen, Adrian Ma.

Leon: The Professional

  • Nov. 22nd, 2009 at 10:45 PM
So tonight I'm sitting at home watching Leon, and while as a kid I absolutely loved this movie, I never felt like I could identify with the characters. I mean, I wasn't a single illiterate hitman, and I wasn't a young girl who was spared the bloody end her family got.

... but watching it now, probably 14 years from when I first saw the film, I can see a lot of myself in both characters.

Leon keeps completely to himself, keeps a spotless apartment, and is wholly absorbed in his work. He is ritualistic about almost everything, probably because he believes it keeps him sharp, keeps him professional, and keeps him from dwelling too much on things that reduce his ability to be productive. Basically, it keeps him from over thinking things. Or at least, that's at least part of why I kept it up. First order of business: get back on that.

Mathilda... she's at least partially how I remember myself when I was younger. Impulsive, sees things in black and white... I suppose in these respects she's how we all behave when we're young.

For me though, watching it this time has another layer to it. If you never saw the original uncut version, the story plays out not so much as a buddy-hitman flick with two zany personalities, but with an unapologetic look at the boundaries of propriety between a young girl in her early teens and her older benefactor. It was probably edited down from this to the US release version because of a fear of audiences not understanding or being too shocked by this content, though it's completely tame. The lines of what is appropriate and inappropriate are always very clearly drawn, and Mathilda is always the initiator. Even though Mathilda actually begs Leon to take her virginity. I can see that making some people uncomfortable.

When I watch it now, it's deeper than that. The relationship story is less about their ages, but about one particular narrative that plays out regularly between men and women. I suppose one could make the argument also that it plays out with the sex roles switched, but I think that stories that involve a younger man being mentored/protected by an older woman are far rarer than the opposite. Instead their relationship points out just how hollow and empty Leon's life was on his own before she came into it, despite being the best cleaner he could be. Mathilda isn't perfect, but neither is Leon. Probably they're actually worse off together than they were individually, in the sense that together they whittle down some of their individual habits that helped them survive, but life lived solely to survive is probably not one we should aspire to, no matter how good we are at it.

I guess what I get out of this now that I never got before is a greater sense of appreciation for relationships, something on which I have generally had a sour disposition.

Also Natalie Portman was really good from the beginning of her career... the scene where she tells the hotel clerk that Leon was her lover and not her father was classic.

Update!

  • Nov. 22nd, 2009 at 9:41 PM
Yeah, so...

Without making this a long, drawn-out list of complaints, things in LA have not gone as well as I'd hoped.

The big themes are:

1) Just on the whole, Tokyo was way better.
2) Work has been... difficult on a psychological level, less so on a cognitive one.
3) The list of things that are compelling about my neighborhood/apartment is far shorter than the list of things that suck.
4) LA needs more parks. And fairer wage distribution.
5) I've lost almost all the good habits I had gotten into while in Tokyo, and I've replaced them with bad ones.

So, where's the silver lining? Though I hate sounding like a hallmark card... Tomorrow is another day, and every day is a new chance to turn things around.

The Kryptonite Rumble!

  • Nov. 22nd, 2009 at 10:12 PM

If I’ve proven anything over the past few years at the ISB, it’s that I’m not willing to concede much, but I do occasionaly realize that my opinions are not the objectve standards by which everything is judged that I might like them to be.

That said, if you can see a cover where Silver Age Superman is squaring off to fight a gang of “The Toughest Kids in the World,” complete with Fonzie-style biker grear and grapefruit-sized chunks of Kryptonite and not think that it looks totally awesome

 

 

…then there’s a pretty good chance that we can never be friends.

Hitting stands in December of 1967, right at the height of Silver Age madness, Action Comics #357 is without question one of the craziest comics I have ever read, and considering that I’ve got a couple thousand pages worth of Bob Haney within ten feet of me right now, that’s saying something. It’s one of those rare issues that every time you think you’ve hit the height of crazy, you turn the page and it just gets crazier.

To start with, we have the main story, a Leo Dofrman/Wayne Boring classic that opens with what is clearly one of the greatest splash pages ever produced:

 

 

For those of you who can’t make it all out, here’s what’s awesome about this page:

1. Abraham Lincoln.

2. Nitro Knuckles

3. “The TNTeen Terror.”

4. This is all on one page.

The story is actually a continuation from the previous issue, where a man called The Annihilator was giving Superman some trouble thanks to his own “Nitro Knuckles,” an explosive punch that he got by drinking Kryptonian chemicals, because that’s how science was done back then. Superman is able to handle things, of course, but not before The Annihilator adopts a young thug-in-training called Pocketbook Pete.

Yes, Pocketbook Pete. The reason given for this name is that he’s a purse-snatcher of some renown, but still. In any case, Pete doses himself with the Kryptonian chemicals, and thus The Annihilator, Jr. is born!

 

 

In addition to co-opting the Americanized name of Luchador superstar El Hijo del Annihilatoro, The Annihilator Jr. quickly sets about taking over by threatening to blow up the entire world, which, while not exactly a sound plan of action, is pretty much what international politics were based around in 1967 anyway:

 

 

With The Annihilator Jr.’s powers strong enough to affect even Superman, President Johnson goes into hiding and pretty much abdicates the White House, spending his time hassling the Man of Steel into setting things right. The Annihilator, Senior, meanwhile, discovers that the Kryptonian chemicals have had the somewhat unforseen side-effect of damaging his heart, but when he tries to dose Junior with an antidote, the younger suspects treachery and throws the old man out.

Still, even an enterprising youngster with an H-Bomb punch can’t run the country by himself, so Pete decides it’s time to form a new cabinet with the members of his old delinquent motorcycle gang:

 

 

Creep, of course, is installed as Defense Secretary, and to be honest, this was where I was expecting The Annihilator, Jr.’s plan to fall apart. As it turns out, however, national defense is handled in pretty much exactly the same way as working the counter at McDonald’s:

 

 

As a quick sidenote: ICBMs? Okay. Bio-Warfare Missiles, Nerve-Gas, and Undersea Hydrogen Bombs?! Who was running this place in ‘67, Ernst Stavro Blofeld?

In any case, as always happens with teenagers, boredom quickly wins out over any sense of self-preservation and The Annihilator, Jr. and his gang just cold start dropping atomic bombs all over the place. And that’s when the craziness starts, as we learn that in the event of nuclear armageddon, Superman’s job…

 

 

…is to rip up the Statue of Liberty and Mt. Rushmore and put them into orbit to keep them safe.

I love Silver Age Superman so much I can barely stand it.

While Superman’s slapping the Jefferson Memorial is safely in geosynchronous orbit, The Annihilator the Lesser’s bomber ends up crashing, and when Superman shows up to investigate, he finds himself in the ambush described on the cover, Creep and Specs having looted the government’s surprisingly huge (even for the Silver Age) supply of Kryptonite.

The reason? The Annihilator 2: Annihilate Harder’s powers have worn off and he wants Superman to go mix him up a new batch. The problem here is that the chemicals were Kryptonian, but Superman claims he can find them on other planets and gives his word to return them in exchange for not being murdered on Bikini Atoll by a bunch of high school dropouts.

In other words, Superman goes out like a punk.

But this is not the end of the craziness, as what comes next ramps things right up: Superman returns with the chemicals and The Annihilator Reloaded chugs ‘em right down, as he will drink virtually anything anyone gives to him. And that’s why he promptly turns into a toddler.

 

 

But how could this be?! Superman promised to bring The Annihilator, Jr. the chemicals that turned him into the Human H-Bomb! Could it be that–>choke<--Superman lied?!

No. Of course not.

 

 

It was actually The Annihilator, Sr. who gave The Annihliator, Jr. the chemicals! And while Superman did bring them back from space, and they are the exact same chemicals, the fact that they’re not from Krypton means that drinking them will turn you into a baby.

Because that’s how science worked back then.

Bing trying to get exclusive on Fox…Smart

  • Nov. 23rd, 2009 at 3:06 AM

Ok,  I am getting bored talking about fox and google.  But as things pop up, like news in the media saying that MicroSoft is trying to entice Fox to “de-list” from Google, I cant pass up posting on it. Particularly when it makes so much sense

Here is why Bing paying Fox to De-list from Google can be a significant first step and can work:

First, Bing doesn’t  need to get the most popular sites to join fox in de-listing. They need the most popular searches in the categories they want to impact.

Bing just has to corner the market on specific categories. If they are  able to corner some little corners, say sites about auto news, by paying bloggers and news sites in this category to go exclusive with Bing, they can trumpet it loud and far that if you want information about a new car, you have to go to Bing because “they dont take Google”. (did Visa’s They Dont Take Amex ad campaign work ?”)

Or they can target to pay sites about mesothelioma and other diseases that ambulance chasers covet and pay huge dollars per click through, or other high paying PPC searches. The advertisers for these categories go where they can get the most clicks. It wont change marketshare, but it could change how the battle between Googe and Bing is fought. If they can win enough categories, all of the sudden they have some bragging rights that set a platform for people to question googles positioning.

Then consider MicroSofts first move on twitter and their investment in Facebook as an indicator they  could be looking to stake out a position in the value of realtime information.

Which makes  the public positions of AP and Reuters and other top news sites all the more interesting. One thing they all have in common ? They dont like the way google has treated them and they all need  money.  To think they wont jump aboard and grab a cash offer from MicroSoft that precludes Google is crazy. For the right amount of money you can get them to shut out Google and restrict downstream access of their content to Google faster than they can say “Google Who?” Thats how bad they need the money AND dislike Google (this isnt just about news, Google Scholar is going after  Reuter’s Westlaw as an example). Just as critical, I dont think it takes a relatively large amount to get them onboard.  Given the volume of news these two companies create, impacting the positioning of Google is not as far fetched as some may like to think.

Many, like Henry Blodgett on Silicon Insider correctly make the point that news from de-listed sites will eventually find its way on to other sites and into the Google Index. But  after how long ?

If Reuters and AP de-list, it will be a lot longer than you think. If you havent noticed the number of reporters generating original reporting is falling like a rock.  Much of the news you think is original content is reposted from Reuters and AP.  If Google doesnt have access to their output, they will have to wait for someone to actually re-write the story, probably after reading it on an AP or Reuters customer site (its called  plagiarism to some, fair use to others) and post it. Without question there will be  a lag time. Which may be all that MicroSing needs.  You can get ALL the news you need on Bing NOW, or you can wait, and wait, and wait for it on Google.

Getting news first has been a position of value that has worked for a long, long  time. No reason to think it might not work again here.

And finally, Google already has a problem in that they do a horrible job of blocking spam in their date sorted results. Removing valid results is going to make their date sorted results look even worse.

De-List a few key sites. Win a few categories. Offer the news first. Make the people you pay to de-list also make Bing their default on site search engine.  You just never know. Stranger things have happened. Like we say in sports. Thats why we play the games

So bing just might have a shot

On iMacs, Chrome OS and Life in General…

  • Nov. 22nd, 2009 at 10:58 PM

Man - it's been forever since I updated my blog! I've wanted to write more frequently, but here's the situation: I write on average between 8 and 10 blog posts a day between my full-time job at Mashable and my side-gig with AMC Theatres (check out the Script to Screen blog here), that's a lot of words per week. By the end of the day, I'm usually just genuinely too tired to write more. Plus, I want to be able to enjoy my evenings with Grant and whatnot.

Given that I'm actually able to call writing my career -- which is amazing -- I'm pretty OK with the fact that my personal blog gets neglected. But that's why updates are few and far between -- because I'm getting to write about technology and movies every day as part of my job.

OK, so since I last posted, a few things have happened in the world of technology, let's go down the list:

  • Apple announced its new product line, including what I have been waiting for: a Quad-Core iMac, and at 27" wiht an LED IPS screen no less!
  • I ordered said 27" iMac i7, waited 18 days of delivery, was in love and beside myself with excitement -- until I tried to hook it up to a second monitor and found out the miniDisplayPort was broken. So my beloved beauty must go back to Apple and they are sending me a replacement. I won't get the replacement until around the 4th of December because the demand is high (and as I said, they didn't even ship the machines until a good three and a half weeks after they were announced, for the i5/i7s anyway). Apple is letting me keep the defective one until then, but I won't be able to be fully comfortable with my new toy for almost two more weeks.
  • Google finally unveiled it's much hyped Chrome OS and the whole technology world has gotten itself into a tizzy over what it is and what it isn't and what it could be and all kinds of other shit.

So before I talk about Chrome, let me talk about the iMac.

PlayStation Around the Web: What We Read

  • Nov. 22nd, 2009 at 8:01 PM

This week’s a short work/school week for most of you, including us at PlayStation. So, as it has gone down the past two Thanksgiving weeks, the PlayStation Store will update on Tuesday this week. So look for a (rather substantial) Store update on the afternoon of the 24th (PST). On Thursday, as we did last year, we’ll be posting the Black Friday Bulletin Board post, where you can share the best PlayStation deals and doorbusters to kick off the Holiday Shopping Season. I can tell you this much – there are some real steals to be had for those of you hoping to knock out the shopping list early this year.

Finally I wanted to give some early “Thanks” to our readers that voted in the Mashable Open Web Awards call for entries – we made it into the final list of nominees for Best Corporate Blog. Now, if you wouldn’t mind casting a final vote for us, we’ll have that much more to be thankful for this week.

According to Sender Inners Lan and Heather T., these are Bubble Eye Goldfish, taken and COEX Aquarium in Seoul, South Korea. “We haven’t named it yet, but I think we’ll leave it you at CuteOverload. You can think up of way cuter names than we ever could. It’s of the same fish, and the 2nd photo is after it ran into something sharp and got deflated. It’s not hurt. It just re-inflates itself after a while.”

stupid CSS tricks

  • Nov. 21st, 2009 at 10:31 PM

Dear Lazyweb,

When you go to the DNA Lounge Webcasts page and click on the "Video Webcast" link, it pops up a chromeless window with the Justin.TV Flash embed in it.

I'd like to make it so that when you resize that window, the embed resizes with it.

This is what I tried. It works great in Safari, but in Firefox, the embed is always 100% wide and 1 pixel tall; and in Opera, it's always 100% wide but about 200 pixels tall.

Ideas?
