Punk – ‘didn’t have to sing or play anything’? Ever picked up an instrument and tried to play ‘Anarchy in the UK’ or ‘Watching the Detectives’ just like that? Even Sid V must have learnt something. It may not have been intricate or complicated but there is a tune, chords, strum pattern, notes…punk was attitude and style, but musically no more less complex that a 12 bar blues. And Byrne is genius…Tubular Bells was outstanding for its time too.
Maybe the spellcheck feature is as overused as autotune nowadays but punk did not have that – would not have used it if they could. Just as poorly written blogs won’t be rated or read by many, but quality blogs with interesting content, punk on, my friends and give the finger to Penguin!

[...] Тези от вас, които се интересуват от маркетинг и следят блоговете на подобна тематика, вероятно са попадали на някои от неговите статии и ревюта. Него го четат Seth, Ben and Jackie, Steve, Doc, Todd и Tom. И много други, знайни и незнайни. Предполагам че и Guy го чете, въпреки че не си е признавал. Yes, that Guy:). Сега, по теорията на вероятностите, се предполага, че и някои от тези добри хора ще забележи нашата работа. Уау! На това аз му викам Punk Marketing (thank you Piers). [...]

I guess that makes Jason Calacanis the new David Byrne, then.

Yes, i have to agree with that.
-But I think this trend spreads much wider than only in the weblogs. weblogs are nice and neat publishing features and they surely are about to revolutionize the way people perceive and produce information and content.

There is a really nice article about that

from the book Exposure

This area sounds similar to a book I just started called Ambient Findability (from O’Reilly). It’s about how people find information and also trust the source (so far).

More like the Malcolm McLaren. I think Byrne actually has talent. Calacanis, like McLaren, is a hustler and a self-aggrandizing con artist.

Hi, was just listening to a video I put on the net and thought others should see it 2. Some words from the song:

As far as I’m concerned we kill dead 4 we keep the machines that kill fed
