Making Music a Viable Profession
Founder of Pandora, Tim Westergren, on his excitement about music & entrepreneurship.
Pandora’s secret sauce is people. Music lovers. Professional players who pass job application tests requiring them to pick, for example, one of four jazz tunes and "describe the harmonic language," answer whether it’s "tonal or modal," and "outline the progression."....Read more

Extreme Swan Lake
Even if your aren't one for sitting through a ballet, you have to appreciate how insane this choreography is. Natalie Portman has nothing on this girl

This is a amazing animated video about Japan and Japanese culture. It was created by a student as a final thesis and intended for Japanese people. It's a shocking look at the culture in a way we don't look at Japanese culture nor look at our own.
MyModernMet.com is a site dedicated to sharing unique looks at culture through art and how they influence each other. It's an open community to post blog posts on a huge range of topics.
Last is my favorite, and one of the few sites I visit everyday.
They sell one product every 24 hours and only one, more than that they write a creative blog about the product with a great (at times corny) mix of humor.

Circus!
I love the circus. It can be anything, inspiring, skillful, sexy, or even downright silly. Here are a couple of my favorite acts:
Hand to Hand by Sébastien Soldevila and Mimi Bonnavaud
Ivan Zubkevych - Straps
And if all the goodness above just wasn't enough, the 32nd Annual Cirque de Demain competition just finished in Paris last week. Thanks to Arte TV France, it's streaming online.
My reccomendations:
1:03:00 Nikolai Scherbak and Sergey Popov - Hand to hand - Classy music, astonishing technique, beautiful lines.
1:53:20 William Wei-Liang Lin - Diabolo - Effortless speed, technique, and charisma.
2:39:20 Wes Peden - The hippest juggler on the planet.

Ideas, Storytelling, and some SCOPE
This is a short video about ideas. Pretty simple, but it's interesting and well-made.
And here's a link to an interesting series from Ira Glass (NPR: This American Life). It's in 4 parts, but the first one is featured here. There are links to the other parts in the articles.

Finally, I wouldn't be doing my job as a SCOPE member if I didn't let you know about at least one of the concerts that we're bringing this semester. The New Pornographers, April 27th $19 Student Tickets.
