I usually begin the Friday post with DBT news, but today I want to put the Dexateens front and center.
Very cool. Get yer pics in!
Dear Celebrities of Tomorrow,
It's the Dexateens again, needing something.
We're doing a video for a song called "Caption," which asks the musical question
"If there was a caption on the picture of your life
would it tell the story that you tell yourself inside?"
That's the gist of it right there, with some elaboration about hopes, fears, present, past. Deep songwriterly things, understand?
So the video idea is to feature pictures of people with--wait for it--CAPTIONS. This is where you come in.
We'd like to feature our friends' pictures along with whatever text you'd choose as the caption (On the picture. Of your life.).
*****BEFORE THIS GOES ANY FARTHER: IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, PLEASE DON'T SEND PICTURES BACK TO THIS ADDRESS. IT WILL KILL OUR EMAIL. READ ON FOR DETAILS. THANKS!**********
It can be serious, zany, sad, a caption for today, or a summary of your life to this point--whatever you want barring a few exceptions outlined below in 4.
If you're interested here's what to do:
1. Send a picture of yourself to
mycaption@gmail.com
Preliminary questions and tech support requests can be sent to that address as well.
The picture will need to be between 72 and 120 dpi and at least 720 x 480. For the layman: high enough resolution for the web and not tiny.
2. Include your caption text in the body of the email. Keep em under 150 characters. It's like haiku or twitter!
3. If we want to use your picture (which we probably will) we'll need to get Official Permission from you to do so. We can send a separate email covering that once we've picked the photos, or you can paste the following into the body of the email:
"I certify that you have the right to use and distribute this photo in the Dexateens' 'Caption' video."
4. So we can use the picture, keep it clean: no logos; no dodgy behavior; no nakedness. For example, a picture of you doing bong rips while having Mickey Mouse and the Nike logo tattooed on your butt cheeks will be summarily dismissed.
All right. Awesome. Let's make a Rock Video!
DBT!

Inductee Oldham ready to make more music | TimesDaily.com | Florence, AL:
"At Saturday's induction banquet, Oldham and his wife shared a table with his friend, singer/songwriter Bobby Womack, Rolling Stone's rhythm guitarist Ron Wood, and record mogul Russell Simmons, founder of the pioneering hip-hop label Def Jam.
'I'd never met any of The Rolling Stones before except Chuck Levell, the keyboard player from Alabama,' Oldham said. 'I got to chat with Bobby Womack in the green room and with Little Anthony and the Imperials.'
Oldham was introduced by Paul Shaffer, keyboard player and band leader for the CBS Orchestra on 'The Late Show with David Letterman.' Shaffer talked about Oldham while an audio and video montage of the artist's achievements played in the background."
...........
"Now that he's back home, Oldham is ready to get back to what he does best - making music. He is working on a solo album, his first in 40 years."

Kanye says 'South Park' put him in check:
"NEW YORK – 'South Park' may have accomplished the impossible — getting Kanye West to check his ego. The Comedy Central show skewered the famously self-important rapper on its show Wednesday night, painting him as a narcissistic figure so out of touch with reality he couldn't even take a (very politically incorrect) joke."
And perhaps to show that he's really serious about making that change, he provided a link to one of the most biting moments from the "South Park" show, and thanked the writers as well.
