The music from the Odeon Trailer
Ident...
02/10/2004 02:46 AMThis will only mean anything to readers in the UK, and only
cinema-going readers at that. Just before the trailers are shown at Odeon cinemas there is often an
ident designed to get you into the filmgoing spirit. This advert
resembles an explosion of what appear to be out of focus sparks or
fireworks. It's pretty cool. I can now tell the world that the music
that accompanies it - music which always gets Cal and I wiggling along approvingly
- is by Pete Rodriguez and is called "I Like It (I Like it Like
That)". The song can be found on this
album and no doubt is circulating on various peer-to-peer
networks. I thank you.
Is Hello Kitty a Copycat?
Is Hello Kitty a Copycat?
09/12/2004 11:51 PM
Xeni Jardin:

A blogger who describes himself as an "extraordinary ordinary guy in
Japan" says this on the 30th anniversary of Hello Kitty:
"Kitty's design was just a crib from ... Musti, created by the Belgian
animator/director Ray Goossens (1924-1998) [Ed note: she's the
center figure in the BoingBoing graphic at left]. Musti was
started as an animation series on TV in 1968, and its picture books
were also published. I read some of that books and loved it in my
childhood. Although it is evident to everybody that Kitty was an
imitation of Musti, Sanrio, the publisher of Hello Kitty have not
touched on it. It is said that the total copyright fee for Hello Kitty
reaches around 15 billion yen (13.7 million USD) per year, and Sanrio
got 23.7 billion yen (21.6 million USD) gross sales in second quarter
of 2004. I wonder why they don't feel shady about hiding the fact."
I'm no Hello Kitty historian, and that's news to me. Is it true?
Link to
post. This guy has a cool blog.
His post
about Japanese "jinxes" was also interesting.
On a related note, don't miss the image of "Hello Kitty De Milo" in
this news story, which is, like, so obviously a total ripoff of some Greek art dude. Link (Thanks, Brian)
Update: OMG! This is turning into one big
plushy piracy clusterfuck! BoingBoing reader Eva says, "See my response
on Hello Kitty vs Musti here. Basically, I think Musti is in turn a
rip off of the Dutch rabbit Miffy, which was published more than a
decade before Musti." Link

Legend C, and the pocket-sized Quest, all in color, and all ready to
help you pretend like you know where the hell you are. All three are
fairly small, and are distinguished mostly by the fact that despite
being middle- to low-end in the Garmin product catalog, all three are
sporting 256-color transreflective displays. The Legend C should be
available this month for around $375, with the Vista and Quest
following throughout the summer.

Warner Music Tries (And Fails) To Make
Friends With Music Bloggers
08/16/2004 06:48 AMMP3 blogs have been getting a lot of attention lately. The blogs,
which usually focus on certain genres of music with the idea to
highlight or expose certain new or obscure acts to a wider audience
are growing in popularity. They often post an entire MP3 as well.
However, it appears that some of the attention directed at these blogs
made it to some executives at Warner Brothers Records. In a moment of
enlightenment (considering typical record company reaction), instead
of trying to shut these sites down, they decided to see what would
happen if they embraced them. Someone from Warner
contacted a number of
these blogs, including an MP3 from a band they wanted to promote.
This is somewhat surprising, as many of the sites certainly expected
to get sued before they received MP3s from a major label. Still, the
effort had its problems. The musician had already been featured
months ago on some of the sites, and didn't fit at all with the focus
of some of the other sites. Plus, the fear of looking like record
company lackeys didn't appeal to many of the sites. Even worse,
though, was that on the one site that did post the tracks, a number of
out-of-place comments began appearing talking about how "awesome" the
band was. A quick check of the IP addresses of the posters, though,
showed they came from... Warner Brothers. So, while it's really great
that they're actually trying to embrace these sorts of promotions,
they still need to learn a thing or two about dealing with bloggers.
Still, it's clearly a step forward from an industry that hasn't made
many steps in that direction recently.
