charlesfrith says: I’m not entirely sure that you understand creativity based on the opening paragraph. It’s not a formula that can be squeezed for more value and if your social skills with the creative set are one of horror and embarassment then I’d suggest that people like yourself and Tessa Jowell should hire people are much more intuitively aligned with the creative...

ScottMacleodLiddle Hot off the press CBS have purchased Last.fm. The makers of CSI and David Letterman have shelled out 280 million dollars for the London based music social networking site. I’m a big fan of Last.fm right back from when they were audioscrobbler which was a software addition that listened to what music I played on my computer and then made recommendations. Its become a lot...

Taxonomy of Failure →
Ion Valaskakis - social commentator, aspiring aphorist and pop philosopher – offers us this interesting taxonomy of failure: “My Dad and I have discussed [failure] for many years. As he is in some ways the proto-Pop Philosopher (pun intended), it should come as no surprise that he actually devised a theory and taxonomy of errors (he also, apparently, has lots of time on his hands). His Grand...

Joy Division →
bluePantone292 The Ian Curtis biopic won Best European Film at Cannes. The post-punk aesthetic of Anton Corbijn’s stark black-and-white cinematography was winning over the critics on Friday night but I’m delighted that one of my early music heroes is beginning to earn the the full credit he deserves. I’m also a bit annoyed that I didn’t reserve lovewilltearusapart.com when...

Have You Heard? →
The role of storytelling in marketing is well known. In his book Sources of Power, Gary Klein has a whole chapter devoted to them in which he reminds us that stories are retold because they contain well-packaged wisdom. But, as Hollywood pitches prove, stories can be encapsulated in single sentences. Thus, while browsing Guy Kawaskai’s new venture truemors, I was struck by how shamefully...
