A TV captioning service for the Fox News Dallas-Fort Worth affiliate misidentified "New Girl" Zooey Deschanel star as the Boston bombing suspect during Friday's manhunt for 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The closed caption, a textual transcription provided for television viewers with disabilities, scrolled across the screen, "...marathon bombing, he is 19-year-old Zooey Deschanel," during a breaking news segment on KDFW Fox 4 . Deschanel's response? Whoa! Epic closed captioning FAIL! “@ joelmchale : Oh my RT @ peterogburn : twitter.com/peterogburn/st… ” — zooey deschanel (@ZooeyDeschanel) April 20, 2013 [...]

I'm not going to get into a debate about the merits/legacy of Margaret Thatcher - this blog isn't the place for it. What did amuse me this afternoon was the image CNN news in America decided to go with when reporting on her death this afternoon. And no this isn't a joke - they really used this image:
This is the second of a three-part series on The Avett Brothers. For part one, click here . For better or worse, romantic run-ins tend to stay with us. Be they would-a-been near misses; dried-up debacles; or outright drag-outs, these experiences stick with us, shaping our concept of love and relationships. A slew of such run-ins are chronicled in the Avett Brothers’ “Pretty Girl” series. Altogether there are eleven released “Pretty Girl” songs in the series, if “Letter to a Pretty Girl” is included, as it is here. Each [...]
![[MP3 Playlist] The Chill Dojo #11](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4612965_lg.jpg)
This week marks a significant moment in the history of the world, a point in time which has the potential to change the future of humanity as we know it. There was much hype, speculation and anticipation, but the results have finally come in and we can all rejoice. Yes that's right, it's time for the 11th installment of The Chill Dojo with another 15 tracks of listening bliss. We start things off with a song that can only be described as chill music in its purest form. 17 year-old producer Le Nonsense [...]
Following all the Jimmy Savile revelations over the past couple of weeks, the BBC (or Auntie as we affectionately call her) has come under fire. But let's put this current crisis into perspective.... Jimmy Savile was revered by many people, not just those at the BBC - and BBC staff who had suspicions over Savile 's behaviour were not alone. What did this nations tabloids and broadsheets do as rumours circulated every few years about Savile 's penchant for 'young [...]
Following up on how content is published on the web, Slate's Farhad Manjoo hates the pagination of online articles: Pagination is one of the worst design and usability sins on the Web, the kind of obvious no-no that should have gone out with blinky text, dancing cat animations, and autoplaying music. It shows constant, quiet contempt for people who should be any news site’s highest priority—folks who want to read articles all the way to the end. Paginated articles is easily one of the biggest mistakes online publishers can make. Worse, [...]
In the music industry, finding gigs to play is crucial in getting your music heard. Agents help you find gigs and opportunities. The process of finding a good agent may be a little harder so try to avoid making these mistakes. For more, check out Marcel Williams ’ post on Music Think Tank . “Are they powerful and well connected, with one or more major clients and happen to be extremely enthusiastic about you and your music?” [...]
From the January 13, 2012, print edition of Canada's Brampton Guardian . Of course a Canadian newspaper would peg Winnie the Pooh and the snow monster from Rudolph as a violent crime duo. Hopefully that copy editing desk doesn't let the poor sap who made this mistake forget it anytime soon. [via andrewsullivan ]
MiSTAKES is Isak Åslund's solo project, where he earlier this year released the first album "I'm Fine", and last month an EP he offers as a free download. About the project and the name Isak relates: The project started to take shape sometimes during Fall. I was tired of everything, angry and felt rather low, simply put. Such a period which makes you take a step back and start to review all the side-steps you have taken. Mistake was the word that shone most brightly in front of my eyes. So I named the project after [...]
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's copyeditors should probably give the front page to this weekend’s "Living" section another pass. Then again, who doesn't loving dropping a turd burger off at the pool? [via nextround ]
The video for "My Valentine" out of the ex beatle's new album - which is directed by McCartney himself - stars two actors that pretty much everyone loves: Johnny Depp and Natalie Portman. It is a very impressive black and white sign-language video. But since Johnny and Natalie are not sign-language experts, some signs [...]
What the hell, @pastachannel?
Your Biggest Mistake - Ellie Goulding (Cover) This is a cover of the Ellie Goulding song "Your Biggest Mistake". The piano arrangement is completely original. It was never written out as sheet music nor will it ever be written out as sheet music. Enjoy.

For one true bastions of culture in the United States, Boston sure does not produce a whole lot of good indie rock. Sure, the experimental and hardcore scene in Beantown is as good as it gets, but few major indie bands seem to come out of MA. Photocomfort, the side project of the female Magic Man vocalist, is an example of a new generation of Boston musicians. "My Mistake" opens with a collage of xylophone and piano that is evocative of Debussy's "Clare de Lune's" ethereality. But then, suddenly the track picks up and settles into a tempo and sonic [...]
It's somewhat surprising to find that just six years ago, Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah
Just six years ago, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah was the poster child for DIY indie rock bands (in other words, the band releases their album without the support of a major or independent label). The band's 2005 self-titled debut received so much hoopla and hoorah, but it didn't quite meet expectations. It's been a steady decline in critical and fan interest ever since. Two albums later, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah latest effort called Hysterical was released last month. I had no expectations for this album to be honest, but after [...]
Michael Jones was in charge of MySpace during its last days as part of the Murdoch empire - you'll recall, he was the man who tried to turn it from being a hollaback horrorshow into a music destination. He's now admitted that he was flogging a hippo carcass : A year ago, we executed one of the most significant relaunches of a historical Internet brand. We repositioned Myspace as a social entertainment destination and introduced an entirely new technology platform, new products and refreshed content. However, the new Myspace didn't gain as much traction [...]
She's endowed with a surname that sounds like an irregular supporter's order at a greasy chip stall in the vicinity of a football stadium and her back catalogue racked up with day job The Fiery Furnaces is particularly juicy. My Mistakes (out November 7th), lifted from Eleanor Friedberger's forthcoming LP of the following Monday, Last Summer , is a typically quirky, playfully jaunty affair that recalls Blueberry Boat at its most endearingly abstract, and its closing moments are permeated by a whimsical sax solo. Never a bad thing, and in this case it fits in seamlessly with [...]
