With the latest releases of the iPhone come the birth of Webclips. They are the images that show up on the home screen of the iPhone representing applications and links to websites. They can be created as 158×158 pixel png files — the iPhone will take care of the rounded edges and the glossy 2.0 feel! Store them in the root folder of your site and they will be automatically recognized.
Here is some new transit advertising (mostly dealing with the Star Wars and Spike TV). Also used in the campaign, and springing up underground in other locations, are color projectors for moving and interactive advertising.
Star Wars / Spike TV Bus Shelter Ads at 1 Penn Plaza, NYC (Penn Station)
More Star Wars / Spike advertising – this time motion – in the Herald Square Station.
CBS Outdoor Advertising in between the Shuttle and Grand Central Station.
There are interactive motion detectors in the projector box that manipulate the graphics on screen in response to pedestrian traffic.
Taken from the book Rock Lives by Timothy White:
“What it all comes down to for me is: Will the technologies of communication and culture–and especially popular music, which is a vast and beloved enterprise–help us to understand one another better, or will they deceive us and keep us apart? While there’s still time, we all have to answer for ourselves.”
– Roger Waters, 1988
I had the unique privilege of attending the Stefan Sagmeister show at the Deitch Gallery in SOHO. The exhibit featured his most classic and inspirational work.
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings had an unprecedented SOLD OUT show at the Beacon Theater this past Friday. All 2800 in attendance were on their feet to witness this historical Dap Dippin’ New York event. And to open the show, none other than the Budos Band.
Special thanks to Nydia at Daptone Records.
From underground Manhattan comes Stumblebum Brass Band. Originally spotted on the V line uptown stop, Lower East Side.
You will dance, and it will be dirty dirty dirty…
These shots from the special Valentines Day show at The Living Theater. Check the video for a spot-on rendition of Brittney Spears’ Gimmie More PLUS drum break.
John Legend is taking his music underground, to the subway. Target has incorporated listening devices into its ads for its exclusive CD release. These were spotted at the 28th stop on the uptown 1 train.
Thanks to SB for the shots.
Great Show indeed by the Budos Band last night. Including two members of the Dap-Kings, they appear from Staten Island care of Daptone Records tempting deep thoughts of Afro-Beat. Find them, see them, hear them, but don’t tell a soul.
