Hulu hulks up, gets "Daily Show" and "Colbert Report"
Missed this yesterday, but TechCrunch didn't:
Though it may seem to betray a lack of objectivity, Michael Arrington's blanket recanting of all the bad things he's ever said about Hulu, just because they now carry full episodes of the "Daily Show" and the "Colbert Report," is actually understandable. And not because Arrington likes the Stale-y Show.
For as long as anyone can remember (or three years, whichever is longer), the "Daily Show" has been the TV program that people like to watch on the Internet. It's even a major reason for YouTube's climb to cultural prominence.
Though Comedy Central has been streaming the show on its website for some time, the fact that Viacom would license its show to Fox and NBC Universal-owned Hulu is not just a major slap in the face to YouTube, but a giant boon to Hulu. Advertisers may still be finicky about online video, but the conventional wisdom is they don't mind paying for ads in full-length premium content.
Hulu's still just a Lilliputian compared with YouTube, but as it grows its library of full-length TV, it may be be staking out the one corner of the online video market that has real profit potential.

The Prosecution Rests in R. Kelly Trial — But Where Is Jim DeRogatis?
Yesterday, after an exciting day of testimony about threesomes on R. Kelly's in-home basketball court (how he managed to avoid writing a song about this, the world may never know), the prosecution rested its case in Kelly's child-pornography trial. So, today begins the defense's push to prove his innocence. Well, that was the plan, anyway.
Chicago Sun-Times music critic Jim DeRogatis — who passed Kelly's alleged sex tape to police after receiving it from an anonymous source in 2002 — is a no-show in court today, despite an order from the judge to arrive at 10 a.m. State lawyers, as well as ones for the Sun-Times, had fought hard to keep DeRogatis off the stand, invoking reporter's privilege and arguing that forcing him to testify would violate his First Amendment rights. But the defense claims DeRogatis's testimony could debunk that of a state witness (Stephanie "Sparkle" Edwards, who says she watched a copy of the tape with DeRogatis after he'd supposedly turned it over to police) or prove that DeRogatis's "extreme bias" against Kelly "impelled the reporter to violate the law" by keeping an extra copy for himself.
Who's right? We have no idea! But last week DeRogatis reviewed Usher's new album, Here I Stand, under the headline "Usher replaces R. Kelly as king of R&B," proving he's at least a little biased because, man, that album is terrible!

311 was formed in 1990 in Omaha, Nebraska by five-spot self-described "friends for biography" (singer/guitarist Nick Hexum, singer S.A. Martinez, guitarist Tim Mahoney, drummer Chad Sexton and the bassist known entirely as P-Nut), whose common link was a heat for both music and life that finally brought them together to reach euphony with a positive message behind it. After gigging locally (and by all reports cursorily conquering the local music scene thither), the quintet touched to Los Angeles, where they sign-language with Capricorn Records in 1991.
Since that time, 311 stimulate released several albums, including 1992's Music, 1993's Grassroots, and 1995's 311 (aka the "Bluish" album), the latter reaching number 12 on the album chart, merchandising trine million copies world-wide, and dissipated the tracks "All Mixed Up" and "Down."
In 1996, following a nonstop year of touring, the band released Hypertrophied to Show Detail, a plate video of live performances taken from amphitheatre shows in Kansas City and Denver, as well under-the-table looks at life on the road. That the video has been certified atomic number 78 in gross revenue is strong testament to the unique kinship the circle has with its fans. In 1997, Electronic transistor, a forked album of new songs on ane CD, was released, and the grouping mounted its most ambitious tour of duty yet, a ecumenical extend of concerts intended to dilate the band's already large and patriotic fan qaeda. "When we first started the band, we were always sure something good was loss to encounter," says drummer Chad Sexton, "and we've never departed backwards in whatever way since." Live followed in 1998, and a class later, 311 returned with Soundsystem. The stripe jumped to Volcano for From Chaos, which appeared in summer 2001, and followed that with Evolver two age later. By straight off 311 had been together over ten-spot years, and they far-famed with a Greatest Hits comp. Released in July 2004, it included all of their hit singles, a few new tracks, and the band's gracefully-reggaeing cover of the Cure's "Erotic love Song," originally from the soundtrack to Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore's 50 First Dates. 311 came back with unexampled material in August 2005 with the Don't Tread on Me LP.

T.I. Inks Deal With MTV For Reality Series
Hip Hop superstar T.I. recently inked a deal with MTV for an eight episode docu-series that will follow the hip hop star as he performs more than 1,000 hours of community service stemming from his recent legal woes.
According to Variety, the untitled Ish Entertainment series, has scored an eight episode order from the network with shooting slated to begin this summer leading up to his return to jail in early 2009.
T.I. -- real name Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. -- has had several brushes with the law, culminating in a high profile arrest in October of 2007 just hours before he was to be honored at the BET Hip-Hop Awards. The rapper, who had already been convicted for selling crack cocaine in the late 1990s, was charged with possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers and possession of firearms by a convicted felon.
The Grammy winner, nicknamed "the King of the South" for his Atlanta-influenced rhymes, was facing more than four years in jail when he managed to secure the plea deal. The idea for the show was hatched around the same time.
"We began the conversations in the middle of deliberations over what would happen to him," said Ish's Michael Hirschorn, who's exec producing with partner Stella Stolper. "The original idea for the show had him staging a series of interventions in each episode with people in danger. But when we visited him under house arrest, it felt much bigger and more powerful than we anticipated."
The show features T.I. as he speaks to groups about his troubles.
"Hopefully the mistakes I've made will be a lesson to today's youth and they won't go down that same path," T.I. said. The show will also document the release of the rapper's new album this summer, "Paper Trail," much of which was inspired by his troubles over the past year, and the birth of his child.
The untitled series is slated to air in early 2009.

One of the most logical industrial bands of the 1980s, fifty-fifty though they regularly pursued a more than electronic variance of the intelligent that swept into trend during the '90s, Front 242 were the prime minister exponent of European electronic eubstance music. Initially, the chemical group was hardly a duo when formed in October 1981 in Brussels; programmers Patrick Codenys and Dirk Bergen recorded "Principles" and released the undivided on New Dance Records. A year by and by, coder Daniel Bressanutti (aka Daniel B. Prothese) and leading vocalizer Jean-Luc de Meyer linked as well; dubbed Front 242 because of the name's universal proposition signification and united connotations, the quartette debuted in 1982 with the single "U-Men" and album Geographics, recorded for Red Rhino Europe Records (RRE).
Non unalike to Depeche Mode and other synthesizer bands at the time, Front 242 began playing live subsequently that year, adding percussionist Geoff Bellingham but later replacement him with an ex-roadie, Richard 23 (born Richard Jonckheere). (Dirk Bergen as well left the functional isthmus, just stayed on to direct management.) The group's sound began to grow more aggressive with 1984's No Comment EP, placid resonant of synth pop only with harder-hitting rhythms and added jeopardize from de Meyer's vocals. By 1987, Front 242 had gained an American compress through Chicago's Wax Trax!, the home of a divers group of by and large European aggressive synthesist acts of the Apostles later lumped together as exponents of industrial john Rock. Wax Trax! reissued a lot of the group's recordings (including the rarities collection Back Catalogue) and released a new album, Official Version. The get-go Front 242 LP to blend as a consistent recording, the album contained several cold wave clubhouse hits ("Masterhit," "Quite an Unusual") and, for the time, excellent production values. Released in 1988, third LP Front by Front was undoubtedly the group's best yet, with more accent on birdcall construction than loose mechanistic grooves. Besides the alternative baseball club hits "Headhunter" and "Never Stop," the record was Front 242's about consistent.
By the end of the tenner, Front 242 had become the get-go Wax Trax! artist to make the jump to a mainstream label; Epic Records picked up the band's compress, reissuing each yesteryear album with new artwork and incentive tracks. The individual "Cataclysm (For You)" became another alternative club hit, and picked up rotary motion on MTV as well. Though the following album, Despotism (For You), couldn't touch Front by Front in footing of quality, it made big strides for the grouping in the minds of audiences -- by the time of its liberation in 1991, Front 242 was, with Ministry and Skinny Puppy, one of the about long-familiar industrial acts in music.
With nary a batting order modification in the past ten-spot years, however, Richard 23 last left the group in 1993 after an American enlistment with the Lollapalooza festival (the trio replaced him with lyricists Jean-Marc Pauly and his buddy Pierre). That same year Front 242 released two LPs, 06:21:03:11 Up Evil and 05:22:09:12 Off, the get-go closer to pop music than anything the grouping had recorded ahead, and the second gear more abrasive than previous recordings. In the inflame of industrial music's improbable mainstream success -- which pushed unrestrained angst and angry guitars in the venous blood vessel of Nine Inch Nails -- the Front 242 LPs were not well received. Vocalist De Meyer left the group in 1995 to whistle with versatile projects, including Cobalt 60 and Bio-Tek. Front 242 released a hot LP (Hot Code) and a remix album (Mut@ge.Mix@ge) but for the most share remained quiet while flocks of industrial bands invaded the mainstream charts during the mid to belated '90s. In 1997 the group again toured and issued the live album Reboot a class later. Pulse, a studio album of new material, was released in CD and DVD formats in 2003.
