...Death Cab for Cutie was just another tenderhearted indie-rock band signed to a minor record label, playing empty clubs for $50 a night. But after two years of soul-crushing obscurity, something strange happened: people started going to the band's shows. The crowds were small but enthusiastic, and concertgoers told the same story: they'd found the group's songs on the Internet. Then in 2003 the producers of The O.C. called - the band didn't even have a website, and a major television show had heard them online. Two years, one record-label switch and thousands...
...love what's next," says Ricky Gervais' fussy museum manager, explaining why many of the beloved old-fashioned exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History are being shipped off to storage at the Smithsonian Institute, to be replaced by holograms.

It is simple common sense - the quality...
...been following your events. I've been talking extensively with your staff. One of the things I wanted to get at actually goes back to something you said on Tuesday night at the poetry jam. You said it's one thing for people to be speaking in their own spaces. It means something different ... I'm paraphrasing ... but it means something different for them to be speaking in this space. I wonder if you could elaborate on it. What is the meaning of being able to bring these new different voices? I kind of think back to my childhood...
