McCain staffer slams Dungeons and Dragons players (18)
on Boing Boing (3907) permalinkJimmy sez, "Michael Goldfarb of the John McCain campaign oddly disses gamers in his post yesterday on the John McCain blog." It may be typical of the pro-Obama Dungeons & Dragons crowd to disparage a fellow countryman's memory of war from the comfort of mom's basement, but most Americans have the humility and gratitude to respect and learn from the memories of men who suffered on behalf of others.

Blockbuster CEO 'Confused by Fascination' With Netflix (26)
on Epicenter (65) permalinkBlockbuster is a fine company with a perfectly sound business model. Problem is, the whole brick-and-mortar thing smells a little 20th centuryish. While Netflix has cornered the mail DVD business, Blockbuster CEO Jim Keyes is baffled by his competitor's success. "I've been frankly confused by this fascination that everybody has with Netflix," Keyes told Rafat Ali, in an interview with PaidContent.org. It doesn't seem particularly confusing to us. Netflix a) is cost effective for consumers; ...Shared by (jeff)isageek (228) Adam (140) Ben Turner (66) Brettsky (36) Busybee (6) chrisbrogan.com (84) Damon (48) Dave (7) Eban_C (77) Eric (4) Eugene (92) Geoffrey Wiseman (23) hikikomori (132) Jeff (78) Justin (26) kebernet (99) Maarek Stele (130) Mark R (31) Matt Southworth (33) Mitch Wagner (55) morberg (13) pfostpfilms (24) phillip (37) Rob (346) Ross (44) stantont (36)

New Music: Squarepusher: "Delta -v" [Stream] (2)
on Pitchfork Media - Today (48) permalinkTom Jenkinson's output as Squarepusher has spanned from IDM and rapidfire "drill'n'bass" to loping breakbeats, electro jazz-funk, and hypnotic drones. The UK electronic musician's most recent album, 2006's Hello Everything, had, well, every one of those things. "Delta -v", the first track available from Squarepusher's upcoming Warp LP, Just a Souvenir, appears to take as its jumping-off point the rock-fuzzed jostling and organic-sounding breakbeats of Hello Everything-era single and Japan-only bonus track "Exciton".
