#56: List-a-Mania IV: Return of the Funker
A bunch of stuff to catch up on while you're practicing social distancing!
This week, Office Hours will be shifting to a daily e-mail on Monday - Fridays packed to the gills with cool/interesting/non-coronavirus stuff that you may have missed. Welcome back to List-a-Mania!!!
CULTURE THINGS:
If you’re a fan of celebrity gossip blind items, some great American re-uploaded a rare gem. In 2004, a massive blog post compiling rumors about pretty much every celebrity you can think of dropped and was promptly nuked from the internet for a long time. This is the first time I’ve seen it since…Myspace era? Anyhoo, this is a fun way to waste time and everything on here should be taken with several thousand grains of salt, but I can’t lie: It’s TERRIFYING how much of this eventually came out as true.
MUSIC THINGS:
MARKETING THINGS:
The Trapital interview with Steve Stoute is worth your time if you work in the music/brand space
