“Marching Band of Manhattan,” Death Cab for Cutie
Most mornings, I wake up with a song filling my head.
In the last few years, more often than not, it’s this chorus.
Ben Gibbard is haunting me.
Some people just get it. Thanks, David Carr.
Also, it’s nice to see this key component of the old-world distribution model begin to change:
Historically, movies have to be shown in theaters for a week in New York or Los Angeles to get a review in the national media, but “Alexander the Last,” which was shot digitally and had yet to be seen inside the movie house, was written up by David Denby in The New Yorker last week and was reviewed in The New York Times by Manohla Dargis on Saturday.
Q: Who are you guys?
A: I’m Dennis. The guy across the table from me is Naveen. Many moons ago I worked on a project called dodgeball (and I consider foursquare a “sequel” to dodgeball). Naveen’s a friend of mine from NYC who’s been hacking in the mobile + social space for years (and helped start all the mobile stuff at Sony Music!). We started working together a few months ago when we heard Google was going to pull the plug on dodgeball. He’s also wearing a stoopid looking hat right now. We’re both exhausted and loopy from drinking all this Coke.
Foursquare is out of beta, sorta. Sign up and download the iPhone app! Congratulations, Dens & Naveen. Hope everyone at SXSW hearts it.

So is the reblog, like, an uber-like?
