Ogilvy engages in tone deaf social media marketing for the AmEx Zync card
Yesterday I got an email from a social media marketer at Ogilvy about a new card that American Express is introducing and how they’d like to strike up an “exclusive relationship” with me. I wasn’t sure exactly what that meant by that, but I’d done some work for AmEx in the past — I spoke…

So kind of a big day for me: RCRD LBL rolled out a redesign of the front page that better highlights all of the awesome music we’re putting out there AND Ryan Block just announced that he’s leaving Engadget to work on a totally new project with me. This is about as good as I…

Moby on RCRD LBL
So a few years ago I used to live in the apartment building above Teany, this cafe that Moby owned on Rivington Street here in New York. I didn’t actually know Moby really at all — the only time we ever talked was during a game of Scrabble where we completely schooled me — and…
