[Video title] : THIS IS WATER [URL] : http://bit.ly/ZFNLGk [Video description from Youtube] : In 2005, author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. However, the resulting speech didn’t become widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death. It is, without a doubt, some of the best life advice we’ve ever come across, and perhaps the most simple and elegant explanation of the real value of education. We made this video, built around an abridged version of the original audio recording, with the hopes that the core message of the speech could reach a wider audience who might not have otherwise been interested. However, we encourage everyone to seek out the full speech (because, in this case, the book is definitely better than the movie). -The Glossary Listen to the full speech here: http://bit.ly/OpdnXR We sourced all the music tracks from a handful of great composers found online. Here are the artists: Ryan Leach (ryanleach.com) Hugh Mitchell (audiojungle.net/user/hughmitchell) Vadim Shkor (audiojungle.net/user/wadim251185) Skanoir (audiojungle.net/user/Skanoir) The Digital Pianist (audiojungle.net/user/TheDigitalPianist) Be sure to check out their work!

Then they remember this is news. Lots of it. And that news includes: Spotify buying Tunigo, what that means for third-party apps and if Spotify is “doing an Apple” by snapping up the companies that do certain things better than they do; why Snoop Dogg’s new app looks set to coin it in by selling virtual stickers of blunts to “lunatics”; why SABAM is trying to get ISPs to give it money because services like YouTube and iTunes make customers get faster broadband; YouTube looking to charge for premium channels and why music might not be an ideal fit her; and finally why Tony Blackburn’s autobiography, Poptastic, is the greatest literary work of the modern age.
