Mainstreamys
More from a discussion I’m having on Kent Nichols’ blog: Kent Nichols: The mood back then was we want the audiences and recognition that comes with mainstream Hollywood success, but not be mainstream. Which is fine, but that’s the same as wanting your cake and eating it too.

But that’s okay.
We knew it was going to happen and we wanted it to happen.” Thoughts on the First Streamys « Kent’s Official Blog
Agree with the 1st point, firmly disagree on the 2nd. I never wanted a part of your Hollywood. Most of the producers I...

For the past week so many coincidences have been happening to me. We live in one crazy ass synched up world. Thank God for that!
Parallel randomized synchronicities have been dominating my life for a good while now. Happy that someone else is feeling it too.

These lawyers are fighting a losing battle in an already lost war. I know it may not seem like it from all the takedown notices and press the RIAA gets, but on the ground of the Internet there is very little concern. They are just temporary inconveniences, like mosquito bites. Most people in the trenches see it as nothing more than posturing; a peacock tail-wag in...

Tumblr Tags
Tumblr,
Can you make tags show up in the dashboard? They go unnoticed most of the time because people consume our blog via dashboard. We use them to designate authors.
Thanks for doing a bunch of stuff right, like making the signup form function the same as the login form if you already have an account, among many many other things.
Sincerely,
Wreck & Salvage
