First Of Many SCOUT Performer Interviews Just Posted

I’m starting to post video and mp3 clips of my interviews with the SCOUT performers over on the Wide Hive Blog.
The first is of Each the Beatboxer. He’s really incredible. I’ve got a clip of his performance around here somewhere…
Each will be performing with Cubik and Origami from 9-10 pm at this week’s SCOUT, and he might even jump in a bit with Variable Unit during the night’s main set.

Ed note: I’m really having a blast documenting hip hop subculture. I mean, I’m a part of it, I suppose, running a record label and all, but there’s a part of me, perhaps the media researcher part of me, that will always feel more like an observer, and an archivist of, this very unique time in our history.

Daily Show Clips From May 10 and 11, 2005

These clips are from the May 10 and 11, 2005 programs.
Well, I knew this would happen at some point, I can’t tell you much more about these clips than the filenames will tell you, because I haven’t really watched them very closely. I was just trying to pump them out so I could make them available for you.
Thanks for all the great PDF advice! PDF995 ended up working great.
You guys are the best. Here’s your thank you present:

Daily Show Clips From May 10, 2005

Mirror of May 10 clips
This has a very frank Wanda Sykes interview. Impressively frank. It won’t translate well if I quote it, so I’ll let it speak for itself…but right on Wanda for being honest about Hollywood!

Daily Show Clips From May 11, 2005

(Thanks for the mirrors Guan!)
Here’s another mirror of these. (Thanks Matt!)
More on the way guys.

Daily Show Clips From May 9, 2005

These clips are from the May 9, 2005 program.
Actually, the blogging clip might be from the 10th. (Sorry.)

Metadata that goes with these clips (you can tell which is which from the filenames):
CNN’s stupid blogging segments – where people actually just read from blogs verbatim, as if it’s news.
A movie about Texas’ freaked-out cheerleading censorship law.
Bush’s visit to Russia – Putin on 60 minutes. (daily1.mov)
Samantha Bee covers the online gambling craze.
How Arnie’s Screwing Over California Educators (and therefore California Education)
The Roadless Area conservation rule that Clinton signed into law before he left, and how the repubs are going about overturning it.

Mirrors For Daily Show Clips

Okay, so, like I said, I’m trying to be constructive about the fact that I’m going to be homebound for a few days, so I’m going to try to bang out this and last week’s Daily Show clips for starters.
Can those with available mirror space please email me at lisa@lisarein.com so we can proceed?
I’m really sorry for being so swamped these last few months and flaking out on my Daily Show responsibilities. I’m trying to re-org my schedule so I have at least a few hours a week to get those suckers up.
Thanks for being patient. (Only a few of you have been politely nudging…which I don’t mind at all 🙂
thanks!!
lisa
P.S. Will those of you that kindly donated mirror space in the past that I never linked to please re-connect with me so I can get that stuff up too? It amazes me how, what should be a quick thing to link to (once I’ve done the hard part – generating all the clips and uploading to the various servers) can get back burnered when things start picking up at the record label. I appreciate it so much that you would mirror clips for me, and I don’t mean to be careless with your time and energy. Many apoly-logies for that.
