A few respected music journals have pooped on the debut by British outfit Does It Offend You, Yeah?, calling it derivative and formulaic. Well, you know what, yes, it is derivative of DFA and Daft Punk (and maybe even [gasp] late '90s techno) but I'll be damned if there aren't 2 million bands that are derivatives of derivates right now and I need more dance punk way fucking more than I need more art-rock or 1970s East Village re-runs. Listen in order to inoculate your iPod against I-take-my-shit-too-seriously disease.

Attention Artists! Stop the Orphan Act!

By weeklydig on Mon, May 5, 2008 12:23 pm

Two bills were submitted to congress at the end of April — one to the House and one to the Senate — called the Orphan Works Act of 2008. Congress is looking to have this act passed and signed into law by George Bush by June 8, 2008, less than two months after it was introduced.

In a nutshell, this act may put many of you creative people in a tight spot when it comes to copyrighting your images and jeopardize long term royalties.
