New York Pressing For Cover Stories
Which is why they allowed this to go to print. I’m not sure exactly what the writer of this piece is trying to accomplish, but it looks like he’s trying to write a slam-piece on the nature of the New York Media social engine through the prism of Gawker’s relationship with Patrick Moberg, Julia Allison, and Jakob Ludwick. What it is, though, is a piss-poor attempt at connecting...

The Budwiser Select Conspiracy
Thisseptember: riddle me this, batgirl
L Tay2020: yesssss?
Thisseptember: budwiser select
Thisseptember: who are they
Thisseptember: and why do they keep appearing in the strangest places of the internet
L Tay2020: what do you mean?
Thisseptember: for example
Thisseptember: flavorpill
Thisseptember: or
Thisseptember: the wired store
L Tay2020: it's a crap sub-brand of bud
Thisseptember: yes
Thisseptember: but i think they want every computer-literate, quasi-tech-savvy person in the world to drink it
Thisseptember: and i think the motives for capturing this demographic is especially insidious, although i don't know why
Thisseptember: all i know is that budwiser select is the first item one can shop for in the Wired Store this year
L Tay2020: hahhaha yeah
Thisseptember: "Hey, Wired, listen. Here's a million dollars. Sell our beer next to the iPhone."
Thisseptember: Wired: "But, uh....we, um.....what?"
Thisseptember: Budwiser Select will be the most Digg'd item in two weeks. Then Gawker will ask if Julia Allison's life should be replaced by Budwiser Select. And then Budwiser Select will be the second-to-top item on Drudge Report, next to Hillary's purse choice of the day.
Thisseptember: I think we have cause for concern.

“tell me you’ve seen this. i’m not sure how i feel about it. this is like having a brilliant-yet-fucked-up cousin that sells grandma’s tv (torre: down the river), grandma’s couch (new york: down the river), and grandma (new york a-rod apologists: down the river) for a bag of smack (read: smack = performing terribly in the clutch, which, let’s face it, a-rod...

More Flavorpilling.
And still, in exile - exile! - from the New York team. This week: Busdriver and Travis. Next week: Aimee Mann and Ozomatli. It’s like 1999 going into 2000 all over again.

Strike (Day) 3: Assistants Getting Bagged And...
No hyperbole. Assistants as Industry Entertainment and Fuse Entertainment are getting canned. A list of casualties is being compiled, and a letter is going to go to Patrick Verrone, Nick Counter, and Nikki Finke (who has now - frighteningly - become the voice of reason in all of this) when they have enough for it to mean something. For anybody who doesn’t work in this racket...

If There's Anything I've Had Enough Of, It's Today
Yeah. ‘Been one of those. To the point where a client had a bottle of Makers Mark sent to our desk. No joke. Now we’re going to go drink it all. In other news, The Fiery Furnaces apparently made their first listenable song, and it’s solid. Download it: Navy Nurse (MP3) - The Fiery Furnances
