In one of the more bizarre USB products we've ever seen, The Beatles' Apple Corps corporation, in conjunction with record label EMI, are releasing the entire Beatles catalogue...in a USB flash drive shaped like a Granny Smith apple . The data contained on the drive will include 14 albums, 13 mini-documentaries, liner notes, album art, and rare photographs. They're only making 30,000 of these things,...
I heart i09.com with all my nerdy soul. Sci-fi with snark. My nirvana. soft sigh Today, it lifted my soul, found my laughter and eased my mind. In short, it presented Adam Lambert (he of the Carmen Miranda fashion sense and eyeliner addiction) wailing away for his one true love and waving his arms around, all while [...]

Arturo Brachetti's show Change at the Garrick Theatre is at heart despite hitech effects and arch philosophising a delightfully oldfashioned quickchange act. Rating:
This week's Flash Fiction Friday entry, starter sentence in blue: "The strange man dressed as Carmen Miranda walked into the bar and demanded to know who had taken his pet iguana." In any other bar in the United States, this might have been noteworthy, perhaps even extraordinary.

One of my favorite recent memes on Google Reader (especially Bruitus at Immanent Discursivity) is the flood of interesting videos of various people performing the Brazilian choro classic "Tico-Tico no Fubá" by Zequinha de Abreu. To get an idea of what I am talking about, here is the world's most famous Brazilian parrot, Joe (Zé) Carioca, teaching Donald Duck about samba through...
Brazillionaires: Anne Hathaway and Neil Patrick Harris will lend their screechy and droll voices, respectively, to Rio , a 3D animation flick set to be released in 2011. The film is about a bored macaw who flees the coop in Minnesota and takes off to the Olympic city of Rio de Janiero. Can't wait to see NPH's killer Carmen Miranda.

S o thoughts on the exploitation of ethnicity and the excess of Carmen Miranda's cornucopia hats have all been spewed (see previous post if this entirely unintelligible...) and I've snatched a few moments for post-essay blogging (and excuse the brevity, got a presentation on the influence of Brecht on the horizon...).
