J. Crew Mens Shop opens next to Top Shop.  A lot of retail coming to our little stretch of B’way.  Not sure if this is good or not, but I have to admit I liked a couple of things in J. Crew.

A fellow minimalist. 2thewalls: “Fashion designer Thierry Mugler explained the minimalism of his Paris apartment this way: ‘There must be room for the human body to move.’ ‘I don’t want real possesion. What I need and what I wanted in this apartment was its space - and to keep it as empty as possible.’ By playing with contrasts and not with objects and by placing everything very low - such as the symbolic frescoes by paointer Keso Dekker situated at eye level - he has managed tokeep a maximum of space free to be filled with light. ‘That is my second reason for living here,’ he said, ‘the incredible luminosity of these three rooms.’ His study is striped down to the bare essentials, a threshold table and a high-tech stool facing a wall full of pinned mementos, invitations, bill, and photographs. A key to this private world is his bedroom. There, nothing interrupts the flow of light, nothing attracts the attention of eyes in need of interior inspiration. As a matter of fact, the room’s only furniture is a king-size mattress on a very low plywood stretcher. ‘This is all one needs in a bedroom,’ the designer said.” THIERRY MUGLER’S APARTMENT AS PHOTOGRAPHED FOR “LIVING WELL: THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK OF HOME DESIGN AND DECORATION”, ED.

Is on-demand streaming done?

Arrington is spot on, although this isn’t new news.  Not sure why this point wasn’t more widely reported back when these deals were happening.

The startup he mentions is no doubt playlist.com, which is the largest music service out there now apart from iTunes and Myspace.

On-demand streaming won’t work (legally) until the “star system” of the majors is done, because “free” on-demand streaming + ubiquitous broadband = near-perfect substitute for selling music (CDs or downloads).  And paid on-demand streaming (Rhapsody being the leader) has, after 8 years now, only garnered 775k subscribers - hardly a mainstream application.

In the near-term the only real potential for streaming is internet radio, which costs about 1/2 the price of on-demand streaming ($0.0018 per stream in 2009 vs $0.0040 per stream in best possible scenario).  These “cheaper” rates still make internet radio a tough model, but I’m cautiously optimistic that a reduced internet radio royalty rate may still be a possibility.
