...Angeles to consider themselves cool, and uncorporate enough to make room for the strikingly unconventional. A homegrown record label can make a huge difference too, like Seattle's Sub Pop, which produced Nirvana's early recordings. Ultimately, it's the big national labels that cash in on local sounds. Primed by their success with Seattle, the record companies are now grazing hungrily in college towns, those intrinsically hip places where collective shoe preference may run the narrow gamut from Birkenstocks to Doc Martens but ears are all wide open. The academic triangle of Chapel Hill, Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina...
...killed. And some black kids feel the same way about white shows. Our attempt is to try to bring new styles of music together." The sound track to the movie Judgment Night features collaborations between rappers and rockers, including one by Seattle rapper Sir Mix-A-Lot and local band Mudhoney.

The two industries had already begun to mate: faced with the crumbling of their local telephone monopolies, the cash- rich Baby Bells had been making love, not war, with their cable-TV rivals. Just last week Atlanta-based Bell South agreed to pay $250 million for a 22.5% stake in Prime Management, a Las Vegas cable company. In May, U.S. West put up $2.5 billion...
...family, his business and his sailboat. That's it.'' Malone's brilliance and belligerence have become the stuff of legend. In 1991, for example, Malone was outbid by a rival in his attempt to acquire the Learning Channel. His response: TCI began dropping the Learning Channel from its local cable systems. The tactic killed his rival's deal, and TCI's 49%- owned Discovery Channel later purchased the Learning Channel at a steep discount. Malone is also known to cook up complex deals that can take cadres of lawyers and accountants a week to disentangle in order to sell...
