Leona Lewis - Run (Snow Patrol Cover). Speaking of Leona, I had never heard her over-the-top, massively melodramatic version of Snow Patrol’s “Run.” Awesome. Why am I such a sucker for this shit today?

Interview with Clive Davis

I have a theory that the music recorded with auto-tuners is being produced exclusively for robots. Have you really listened to this stuff? It’s like easy-listening for C3P0.

I think for a record to be successful, or for an artist to be successful over a period of time, they have to deliver. Not just in the studio, but in a live setting.

But what if this music is triggering some emotional response in robots? What if it’s inspiring them to lash out against their creators?

These artists could have hit records—and maybe they’re doing it with the technology you’re describing, and it’s a hit record disguised by a lesser talent. But then they go on tour and they can’t deliver, and they might have a hit record but they’re not selling albums. To really survive as an artist, you’ve got to be able to do both.

Yes, I understand that. But how do we stop the inevitable robot uprising?

(Long pause.) I guess there should be vigilantes to prevent that from happening.

ninakix:

Maya Lin’s original competition submission for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Architectural drawings and a one page written summary. It was chosen from 1,421 entries submitted. (via 37signals)

Maya’s always been a minimalist, but what’s so striking about this is how minimal it really is - here, you only see the bare minimum of what you absolutely have to see to understand the concept, and nothing more. I find this laudable. As a side note, the choice of colors is fantastic.

Maya Lin was still an undergrad architecture student at Yale when she won this competition. She was 21! An amazing accomplishment to say the least.
