Al’s Busy Year

[Logical Meme] There’s growing rumors that Al Gore will use his Oscar acceptance speech (I take it as a foregone conclusion that he will ”˜win’ the Best ”˜Documentary’ category) to announce his bid for the Presidency.

[Downhillbattle.org] Downhill Battle - Music Activism: The first thing Downhill Battle ever did was iTunes iSbogus (and it’s still the first non-apple result on google for “itunes”). Today, Slashdot has a story about how Weird Al makes less money from an iTunes sale than from a CD sale, even though an iTunes sale doesn’t involve any physical product, shipping, storage, physical store, and kid working at the counter.

[Pajamasmedia.com] Pajamas Media: FILM: AL'S (UNDESERVED) OSCAR: The second point is that Simon describes An Inconvenient Truth as "a film validating the conventional wisdom on global warming," but the comments posted here show that it clearly isn't the conventional wisdom among the general population. There's still a broad swath of Americans who have been mislead by oil industry propaganda into thinking either that there is some reasonable doubt about the anthropogenic climate change taking place or that any remedy would be too costly and painful to even consider.

[Bama.live.advance.net] al.com: Sidewalk @ Sundance: Several Special Jury Prizes were awarded, including a dual documentary win for Ian Inaba's study of African-American voter disenfranchisement "American Blackout" and Michael Cain and Matt Radecki's study of a newscaster's decline into drug addiction, "TV Junkie." The World Cinema Documentary Jury also presented two awards to Philip Groening's German/Swiss look at a monastery, "Into Great Silence" and Yonghi Yang's "Dear Pyongyang."
