Telegraph: The Phil Spector Tapes
In December 2002 the legendary record producer Phil Spector welcomed Mick Brown of the Telegraph Magazine into his LA home, and gave his first major interview for 25 years. The interview was published on February 4, 2003; thirty-six hours later actress Lana Clarkson was shot dead in that same mansion. Spector was arrested for murder. Brown’s tapes give a rare chance to get inside the mind of one of music’s most extraordinary figures. (via)

Erik Davis on watermarked promotional CDs
efore my pal Erik Davis, who sometimes writes about music, left for Burning Man, he dropped off a pile of stuff to a thrift store. One of the items he purged was an advance promotional CD of Beirut’s The Flying Club Cup, due out next month. Apparently, some anonymous person then acquired the CD and made it available on a P2P file-sharing network. Thing is, the CD was digitally “watermarked,” meaning that the uploaded tunes were identifiable as having come from Davis’s review copy.

Naomi Klein’s Disaster Capitalism video: exploiting disasters for globalism
Naomi Klein (No Logo) and Alfonso Cuarón and Jonás Cuarón (Children of Men) have created a short film to accompany her latest book, “The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism,” whose thesis is that present-day global capitalism took hold when its advocates learned to exploit disasters. After a disaster (war, tsunami, terrorist attack), you can push your agenda for worsening labor conditions, looser regulation, and pocket-lining exercises (Enron, Halliburton) while the reeling, disaster-struck population of the world has its attention elsewhere.

Mit Kapitalismuskritik zum Gottesstaat
Pünktlich zum Jahrestag der Terroranschläge, der von Bush zum Patriot Day erklärt wurde, meldet sich Osama bin Laden wieder mit einem Video auf der globalen Medienbühne zurück, verspricht “Die Lösung” und demonstriert vor allem, dass er noch am Leben ist. Ohne Drohungen auszusprechen, scheint er schon damit zeigen zu wollen, was auch der wesentliche Inhalt seiner monotonen, 26 minütigen Rede an die Amerikaner ist, nämlich dass die Supermacht es mit ihren Mitteln nicht schafft, ihn zu finden, die Mudschaheddin zu besiegen und den Irak zu befrieden.

Second hand songs sounds like a great idea – too often it is hard to track back the original, particularly if a subsequent artist is more famous for having sung a particular song.
