The next generation. This morning we’re really excited to announce a major evolution of Spotify. Today we begin rolling out Spotify version 0.4.3 which includes the largest feature upgrade since our launch in late 2008. To kick it off we’ve added a number of social features, centered on a fully editable Spotify music profile, with the ability to publish playlists, top artists and top tracks for public view.

Griffith’s controversial 1915 silent film The Birth of a Nation, on tour for a timely reminder of how stunning cinematic achievement can be sabotaged by standing on the wrong side of history.
Griffith’s landmark film, released 94 years ago this month and still taught in universities as cinema’s first blockbuster, was based on Thomas Dixon’s The Clansman and compressed the Civil War into a visually groundbreaking thesis on … white supremacy. The crappy historical prism, however, did little to overshadow the filmmaker’s formal skill.
The movie is still lauded for its path-breaking use of action, depth, sequencing and more. "Griffith’s films were mainly used as propaganda. Photo: DJSpooky.com See also: "Spectre Folk" "Spectre Folk"
