We say 'Goodbye' to an all time great and we say 'Thank You' for all he's done.
Trailer to the classic, Cool Hand Luke below. Our favorite of his movies and a must-see.
Blogging for Dummies: Etiquette 101
Imagine going online one day and discovering someone is biting your style. Maybe it’s your header (or elements of) that has been snatched. Or a certain post format from your blog being copied. How do you react; are you angry? Flattered? Creeped out? Most likely a combination of all three.
The world wide web is exactly that–wide. Million upon millions of people, many of whom share similar interests are involved in the internet community. There is bound to be some overlap and in fact, we expect it & at times welcome it, because after all, who doesn’t love meeting new people that are into the same kinds of things? But there comes a time when a certain line is crossed and it’s just flat out wrong to claim other people’s ideas as your own.
In the blogger-sphere in particular, it’s common to find writers who blog about the same topics (especially trendy ones). My sexy Aussie pal Em wrote a great article on issues surrounding this. However, I think the #1 thing that people forget to mention when such a similarty evolves is crediting the original source. I, for instance, began posting a weekly installment of Things I Love Thursday, inspired by the lovelyGala Darling yet I also was gracious enough to give her the credit as seen here in my very first TILT post. It wasn’t hard. It took two seconds. You should try it next time.
My apologies if I’m coming off a bit ranty here. It’s just that I get really fired up about this sort of thing. It’s recently been brought to my attention that there is someone out there with some very, very, very striking similarities to my blog & content. I know that I work really hard and put a lot of effort into my words and ideas and so when something like this comes to light it’s quite disheartening and frankly, pathetic if you ask me. One of my favorite parts of the web is all the organic material I come across on it. I’d like to keep that going. So please, be kind to one another. Use the golden rule. Give credit when it is due. Inject some love into the blogger-sphere<3

Back To School
Ahh... fall is here. Pumpkin ale, college football, Iron & Wine albums, and for some, school.

Yeezy Does It
To those who were masochistic enough to suffer through this year's VMA's, we feel your pain. This is the last year we'll ever subject ourselves to the mind-numbingly awful experience of MTV trying to stay relevant. Ultimately, we had to shut it off before we threw up on ourselves in agony. Unfortunately, that meant we missed the only good thing that happened during the entire show, Kanye's new song "Love Lockdown.' Oh well, that's what the internet is for right. Check it out below.
In other Yeezy news, rumor has it that West's new album, titled 808's and Heartbreaks, is set to be released December 16th. Merry Christmas to all!
While were on the topic of big releases in the world of hip hop, look for a release from Jay-Z before the year is out and keep your fingers crossed for Dr. Dre's long awaited, highly anticipated Detox to be out by year-end as well.
MTVRave On
The Raveonettes (featured on the Airbag Radio birthday mix) have bestowed a free remix EP upon the world. Get your hands on it at Vice Records. P.S. This is just the first of four. Keep your eyes peeled for more.
Justice Delivered
After having spent the past week listening to attorneys drone on and on about the glories of our justice system, the new mix from Justice is a real treat for the ears. It's a four part journey into sound titled "Planisphere." Check it out on the band's LameSpace.
Still Feeling Faint?
On Friday, November 7th, The Faint will hit up Sac State's Union Ballroom. Aww... It'll be just like the old days when we used to catch the likes of Hieroglyphics and Flogging Molly at the venue. Tickets are on sale at their website. Also be sure to check out the band's newest album, Fasciination, out now.
