In an attempt to at least partially un-clutter my desktop, a collection of semi-random outrages, videos, and linkage.

Not sure I agree with everything here, but an interesting talk by Douglas Rushkoff at the Personal Democracy Forum.

Deerhoof leaks the sheet music for their upcoming record. Awesome.

In a sly nod to the ubiquity of pre-release music leaks, the group has issued the sheet music for its upcoming single “Fresh Born” under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license in advance of the October release of Offend Maggie, the band’s new album on Kill Rock Stars.

It’s a neat experiment in encouraging interactivity: Deerhoof’s recorded version of “Fresh Born” isn’t even available yet, but there are already several great recordings of the song - all made by other people - floating around online.
