The Grey Video — Another Major Step for Remix Culture
The Grey Video is absolutely brilliant and marks another major step in the evolution of Remix Culture.
The video takes DJ Danger Mouse’s mash-up of Jay-Z’s Black Album and The Beatles’ White Album (hence “The Grey Album”) and footage from The Beatles’ Hard Day’s Night, plus some great special effects to make something entirely new.

New York Times: Google Studies Creation of Book Database:
“Google.com has begun talks with book publishers to compile a searchable database of the contents of thousands of volumes, a publishing executive briefed on the project said yesterday.”
Well that didn’t take long. Amazon just announce their service last week and Google is hot on the trail. My guess is Google will have a tougher time with publishers than Amazon.com because they don’t have as clear a connection to hard-copy book sales. Amazon can of course argue that the “search in the book” feature increases sales. How does Google make the argument?
BTW, if you haven’t read Wired’s article on Amazon yet, you should. Great reading.

There are many wonderful and industrious people on the Internet. Some of them are Beastie Boys fans.
