X-Plane
From Adam Bernard:
"A couple months ago X-Plane sent me a video for his song “Witout Spinach Popeye Get Black Eyes.” I dug both the concept of the song and X-Plane’s flow. A few weeks later he sent me another video and I noticed an interesting common thread - they were both shot in what looked to be an unfinished house. He had a couple more videos that were also done in the same location and as the clips started piling up, so did my interest in X-Plane’s work."
"This week I caught up with X-Plane to find out more about his music, his secret video shooting location, and why if you need a MetroCard he’s the emcee you want to see (could a collab with Miz Metro be in his future?)."

I'm gradually revving up at Cultural Research and now focusing the blog on library innovation, since that relates most closely to my professional interests.
However, since I believe that one cannot understand library innovation in a void, I'll continue to include relevant material that helps sketch out the larger context in which libraries, particularly academic libraries, currently operate.
