Saints' Super Bowl win nips 'MASH' finale for most-watched show ever | Company Town | L... - 1 views

    Move over Hawkeye Pierce, looks like Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints just took your ratings crown along with the Super Bowl title. A record 106.5 million people watched the Saints write a storybook ending to their dream season by beating the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 in Super Bowl XLIV on CBS, according to Nielsen. That's not only the biggest audience to date for the Super Bowl, but the biggest audience for a televised event ever -- barely knocking off the finale of \nCBS' "MASH," which averaged almost 106 million viewers when it ran in 1983.

Flavorwire » Daily Dose Pick: Copyright Criminals - 0 views

  •  
    New Documentary about sampling, music, and copyright. Copyright Criminals looks at the creative and monetary debates over musical sampling, mashing up music videos, studio visits, history, and talking heads including George Clinton and De La Soul. The documentary on beat mining rounds up more issues than a town hall meeting, poring over everything from the best props for a sampled artist, to the basic merits and methods of the omnivorous art. The tone leans toward pro, with persuasive soundbites that liken sampling to archeology (the listener digs through the aural layers) and the democratic fact that "all these legendary musicians are in my band." As Picasso once said: good artists borrow, great artists steal.
