MTV: NO LONGER "MUSIC" TELEVISION

Music videos on many networks have been in decline since the mid-90's, and now MTV is owning up to its present show schedule, dropping the tag-line "Music Television" under the logo.

When was the last time you saw a video on the network? Even the morning wake-up videos around  6 a.m. have become scarce.

Though videos are what made MTV famous back in 1981, their current list of shows, like "Jersey Shore," "16 and Pregnant," and "The Real World,"only feature music in the backgroud. Music televison has become reality television.

BONNAROO ANNOUNCES LINEUP

Annual multi-day music festival Bonnaroo takes place midsummer in Manchester, Tennessee. They always announce their line-up, but this year they had the artists announce separately to their fans instead of publishing a mass list, like usual.

As of this morning, there were a number of large and small acts that announced they will be playing. Among them are Weezer, Jay-Z, OK Go, and the Flaming lips doing a special set of the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" album by Pink Floyd.

Tickets went on sale today, beginning at noon, and the cheaper priced group goes fast. I went to this festival a few years ago and it was fun, and interesting, to say the least.

For full line-up updates and ticket purchase, visit Bonnaroo's site HERE.

To give you an idea, here is a screenshot of the homepage.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FACEBOOK

Facebook, the web's most popular social networking site, turns 6 today. CEO Mark Zuckerberg clebrates with the approximately 350 million uses, double from last years 150 million.

It is crazy to think that many people are on facebook, but if you really stop and think, who do you know that doesn't have an account? I only know one person, even including all my grandparents and younger cousins. One person that I can't "facebook" stalk, "creep" on, or whatever you call it.

Facebooking has become a verb, and a part of daily life.
