Artist Hacks 5 Life Support Machines So They All Keep Each Other Alive
The Immortal, by Israeli-born designer Revital Cohen, is a collection of life-support machines rigged to keep each other, not a person, alive. Tubes and electric cords connect to create a closed loop through a heart-lung machine, a dialysis machine, an infant incubator, a mechanical ventilator, and an intraoperative cell salvage apparatus (a sort of washing machine for your blood). Salt water pumps through the system like blood, and even maintains a “healthy” composition, thanks to continuous infusions of oxygen and minerals. An EEG monitors The Immortal’s artificial heartbeat.

Anna Jarvis, Founder of Mother’s Day, Wing Specials
By Mike | May 11, 2012
“The founder of Mother’s Day got President Woodrow Wilson to sign Mother’s Day into law in 1914.
Towards the end of her life, Anna Jarvis came to detest her creation, due to the over commercialization of it by the public. She tried to fight this commercialization in the last years of her life.”

How to Get Your Music on Pandora: Enter the Meatspace
By Mike | May 11, 2012
It’s nice to get tweets and emails like, “Hey Mike, I was on Pandora, and you came up! That’s cool!” True, it’s cool that people get to listen. For Pandora, that’s a “satisfied customer.” For me, that’s also a “satisfied customer.” Hell, for the CUSTOMER, that’s a “satisfied customer.” I love nothing more than when everybody wins.
But honestly, I wasn’t 100% sure how songs (including mine) get on Pandora, so I poked around. (BTW, if this is boring industry stuff, I found a picture of a righteous pony. Here ya go. Sweet, right?)
1) Anyway, in order to be on Pandora, you need to be selling PHYSICAL copies via AMAZON. (http://help.pandora.com/customer/portal/articles/24802-information-for-artists-submitting-to-pandora) Why? No clue. My guess? Something to do with metadata, or paperwork, or authentication or something Pandora is farming out. Whatever. I have plenty to say about that, but I’ve deleted it.
OK, so I kept going. How do you sell physical copies of a CD on Amazon, in order to get on Pandora?
2) To sell physical copies via Amazon (by my research, anyway): $29.95 per year plus a 55% standard commission

2.5) You can, if you like, press CDs specifically to sell on Amazon so that you can get music on Pandora. http://www.amazon.com/gp/seller-account/mm-product-page.html?topic=200354370
I’ve decided just to give the facts, without editorializing. Hope I’ve saved some of you some time.
Best,
M
