It's a place with an amazing heritage but it is yet another London venue under threat of closure. This film starts to uncover the rich past of the unique 100 Club.

Bing decodes JayZ

Jay-Z's got a new book coming out called Decoded. To launch it the pages have been hidden in significant locations around NYC. This blur between on and offline will build hype and interest around the book. It's also a great way to give fans a little taster of the contents of the book itself.

Skip digging
This from CR Blog
"So what's this all about? Well, turns out that long established Soho record shop, Harold Moores (specialist in classical and jazz releases), is closing for a re-fit. In order to prepare the shop for its revamp, staff are chucking out thousands and thousands of records (well over 20,000 by my reckoning) - which were dumped, rather unceremoniously, in a skip outside the premises...
But that's not to say the records are destined for landfill just yet. During my lunchbreak I stumbled across this scene of vinyl hungry people clambering over each other to grab a few vintage slabs of wax..."

Killing me

Check the music video for Robyn's new track 'Don't Fucking Tell Me What to Do'. It's the first of its kind, a 3D video using no cameras, written entirely in code, with much of the content fed by fans via a Twitter feed. The first portion of the video features a visualization of Robyn’s lyrics in 3D. The remainder of the video is created by users themselves who tweet what is killing them using the Twitter hash tag, #killingme. These tweets are themselves visualized and credited to the user. The video has the potential to become the infinite video as users can continue to add on to the endless stream of #killingme comments. It is also the ethereal video, as as it re-generates with each loading of the URL.
