    South Park News
    Latest Entertainment NewsMore South Park on the Way Tue Aug 28, 9:08 AM Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny and the rest of the gang are going virtual in a really big way. South Park masterminds Trey Parker and Matt Stone have inked a lucrative new production pact with Comedy Central's parent company, Viacom, which not only renews the long-running animated series for another three years but also gives it a sizable presence in the digital realm. According to the New York Times, the pair will be paid approximately $75 million over the next four years to produce three more seasons. Containing 14 episodes each, they will carry South Park through 2011, its 15th season. As part of what's being billed as a "momentous joint venture," the creative partners will also split all ad revenue 50-50 with Viacom to "spread South Park-related material across the Net, mobile platforms and video games." Viacom's YouTube Smackdown Godzilla vs. "South Park" Guys "Passion of the Jew" Part 2? Not Quite E! Online "Three more years of South Park gives us the opportunity to offend that many more people," said Stone. "And since Trey and I are in charge of the digital side of South Park for the first time, now we can offend people on their cell phones, game consoles and computers, too. It's all very exciting for us." Parker and Stone plan to redesign their digital hub, SouthParkStudios.com, early next year to centralize South Park's digital media in one place. That way, fans of the foul-mouthed fourth graders can legally watch as many clips of the 'toon as their hearts desire. "If I'm overseas and have to get an episode right away," noted Stone, "you literally have to go to an illegal download site." The Website will also serve as a laboratory for the duo to dream up various new animated characters and projects. "This extension and the formation of the joint venture are the beginnings of a new era for South Park and Comedy Central and a natural evolution of our long-term and prosperous relationship with Trey and Matt," said Viacom chief Doug Herzog. The idea of a digital animation studio pleases Parker and Stone, as their last contract was signed before clip-aggregating sites like Google's YouTube burst onto the scene, forcing Viacom to sue in order to prevent its copyrighted material from being distributed without a license. The new site will not only seek to address that problem but will also help make the South Park guys a leader in the creation of digital content. And by sharing ad revenue with Parker and Stone, the media conglom rewards them for helping put Comedy Central on the map while giving them a stake in the 'toon powerhouse for which they'll be forever known and an incentive to build the brand further. "The idea that we're getting a little piece of it back—and in five years we'll probably be going to court and fighting about it—but in ownership terms, that's kind of an amazing thing," Parker told the Times by phone from Istanbul. "People always ask us, 'You own it, right? No? Why'd you sign that deal?' And I have to say, 'Because I was sleeping on my friend's couch.' " Additionally, since Parker and Stone only spend about 20 weeks a year working on South Park episodes, the agreement also allows them plenty of time to develop three new series for Comedy Central as well. South Park has been the cable channel's highest-rated program since it premiered in 1997. © 2007 E! Entertainment Television, Inc.

    re:that means you hear the
    Yes CC Joe, I hear the Dead while the little screen shows cartoons. There's no mix of the sound, it's pure GD goodness. BTW, which show(s) does Jerry go "beep beep"? I'd sure like to get a tape of that. ;^) ;^) And to reply to blackpeter, I find that most TV programs benefit from turning down the volume, while playing the Boys (LOUD) on the stereo. Here's a little tip: for a change of pace you may want to try some JGB !!

    Here's what I think is a great way to watch the tube with a couple of friends: I put on a GD DVD, (I'm partial to 12-31-78) but they're all good really. And if yer TV has the PIP (Picture in Picture) capability you put cartoons in the small picture. It just doesn't get any better than this for me and my fellow GD buds. WARNING: Don't try this if you don't like to laugh.

    blackpeter Posted: July 7, 2007 - 2:45am kojak vs. 5-o sure, kojak kojak vs. 5-o sure, kojak may've been tougher, but in terms of back up steve had danno and chin, kojak just had that curly haired detective.... this is so fucking funny, I was actually thinking the EXACT same thing when I first wrote about Kojac v. McGarret. Telly Savallas' real life brother played the fat curly haired Detective, and he was a pussy. Danno would take him out with one bitch slap. Chin was a cool cat, but Kojak did have Crocker, who was tough, as well as Rizzo, and Saperstein, and Capt. O'neil. all in all, I think the boys at the 9 Precinct would take the Hawaii 5-0 guys. it is an East Village thing.

DJ Food - O Is For Orange '"O Is For Orange" is the sound of weathered tape saturation, detuned analogue synthesisers, vinyl crackle and machine hum. It’s also the look of unfocused, flickering lenses, mirror image filters and blurry grain embedded into film. Unofficial fan films sit alongside experimental animation, public information shorts and even the odd official video. Material that Boards of Canada took inspiration from blends with their own work as well as many that they inspired.'

Tomeka Reid Artists Respond: Tomeka Reid Performs "Airs for Eliza" Chicago-based cellist and composer Tomeka Reid performs an intimate recital (July 7, 2016) in response to Fo Wilson’s installation, Eliza’s Peculiar Cabinet of Curiosities. In this performance, Reid expertly combines composed vignettes and spontaneous improvisations for a highly personal reaction to Wilson's work. Reid is seated on the porch of Eliza’s Peculiar Cabinet of Curiosities, a full-scale structure on the grounds of the Lynden Sculpture Garden (on view June 6 through October 30, 2016, and seasonally thereafter). The cabinet is both wunderkammer and slave cabin; it imagines what a 19th-century woman of African descent might have collected, catalogued and stowed in her living quarters. Informed by historical research, Eliza expresses a hopeful African American past, present, and future through a collection of found and original objects. Eliza's Peculiar Cabinet of Curiosities is a collaboration with the Chipstone Foundation. Reid's recital is part of a series of programs sponsored by Chipstone and the Lynden Sculpture Garden, in which four artists/collectives were commissioned to respond to the installation. For more information on visiting Eliza's Peculiar Cabinet of Curiosities, see the Lynden Sculpture Garden website here: http://www.lyndensculpturegarden.org/exhibitions/fo-wilson-elizas-pecul…

Larry Roland Vision Festival 20 | Larry Roland // Poet VISION FESTIVAL 20: His spoken word pays homage to the strength and beauty of his ancestors from whom he has gained knowledge, wisdom, pride, and understanding. Through the use of the African philosophy “Sankofa”, his poetry has made the connection between the past, and present, in order to hypothesize the direction of the future. His spoken word is the “Voice” for the man on the street who does not have a voice. Cameras David Appel Don Mount Michael Lucio Sternbach Adam Worth Edit by MLS Sound by Stephen Schmidt

Lisa Mezzacappa ORGANELLE ORGANELLE is a “set" of compositions, inspired by diverse scientific processes – some enormous and unfathomable, others impossibly microscopic – that form a whole through the insights and explorations of master improvisers. The modular work draws its musical ideas from the different ways that the human body, the natural world, and the cosmos mark and “experience” the passing of time. The notes, rhythms, musical relationships, melodies, and structures in each movement of ORGANELLE are connected to theories of cell biology, astrophysics, paleontology, zoology, or neuroscience, exploring these otherwise-imperceptible phenomena through sound. The first iteration of ORGANELLE premiered in Europe in spring of 2016, with musicians in Köln, DE; Naples and Rome, IT; and back at home that fall, in Berkeley, CA at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. In each presentation, the music is revised, re-imagined, and expanded to embrace a new set of musical personalities and a different performance context. New movements will be added, and old ones discarded or re-worked, to suit different configurations of musicians as the work continues to develop in the coming years. ORGANELLE also reflects my fascination with the challenges of notating musical ideas for improvisers to play (with), which for me has an interesting parallel with the ways science tries to visually represent complex, multi-dimensional systems and processes with flow charts and graphs and diagrams. The practical concern of wanting this score to be playable by any kind of improviser - a laptop electronic musician, an experimental koto player, a guitarist with nontraditional tunings - meant I often needed to find ways of visually representing musical ideas and relationships that were not confined to the traditional music staff. Many of these new graphic notations ended up having poetic connections to the scientific diagrams I was discovering in researching the content for the piece.
