Cartoon Brew: 'Bedrock City'
('Bedrock City, the kitschy little theme park in Custer, South Dakota, was created in 1966 by a coalition of local concrete makers. Now, artist/photographer Todd Oldham has discovered the park’s inner coolness.')

Shots Ring Out: 'What's The Point?'

Open Rights Group: 'John Buckman: Magnatune'
(This is kinda working, but if this is the best 'success' in this area, it's a bit depressing actually. Look at casual games as a much better example of digital distribution, I would argue. [Via BoingBoing.])

Pitchfork: '"Aqua Teen" Co-Creator Talks Neko, Homme, T-Pain'
('T-Pain was an even easier catch, being a pretty hardcore "Aqua Teen" fan already. "Apparently he's got, like, bling-- is that word still in vogue, bling?-- he's got these two Mooninite medallions made out of diamonds and rubies and stuff. [It] was like, 'That costs more than an episode.'')
