“But the age of online video is still far off: the average American watches just two minutes per day, according to Bernstein Research, compared to six hours of live TV.”
Are these numbers right? They seem sort of crazy.

(via heyitsnoah)That actually sounds about right to me… which number seems off to you, Noah— is it the 2 mins. of online or the 6 hrs of TV? (or “both,” I guess, is a valid answer too).

Predict Pitchfork's Top 10
I think this is in fact true, because I can also, generally speaking, predict what numerical score an album will be given within about 0.8 or so.
Actually, for Ryan to be this close just means he reads way too much Pitchfork. There’s a lot of great music out there that never makes it on to Pitchfork’s radar.

Predict Pitchfork's Top 10
It was pointed out to me almost as soon as I put up my list that (a.) I omitted the Lips at my own peril and (b.) my “token” metal inclusion was a waaaaay looonngshot. Still, I’m satisfied, even if I didn’t get the placements all that right.
And now, a look at how catbird’s predictions fared:
- 1
- 8
- 5
- 2
- 3
- 6
- 10
- 31
- 7
- 9
You missed the Lips (4), Ryan. And re Sunn O))), I guess people were pretty comfortable with being “All Just Indie” this year! (Sigh, 2009.) But otherwise, nice job.

“The sensei (the master teacher) was not charging the group for the training. The students, feeling that this was unfair, approached the master one day and suggested that they pay him for his time and effort. Setting down his bamboo shinai, the master calmly replied that if he charged them, they would not be able to afford him.”
