Artist Hacks 5 Life Support Machines So They All Keep Each Other Alive The Immortal, by Israeli-born designer Revital Cohen, is a collection of life-support machines rigged to keep each other, not a person, alive. Tubes and electric cords connect to create a closed loop through a heart-lung machine, a dialysis machine, an infant incubator, a mechanical ventilator, and an intraoperative cell salvage apparatus (a sort of washing machine for your blood). Salt water pumps through the system like blood, and even maintains a “healthy” composition, thanks to continuous infusions of oxygen and minerals. An EEG monitors The Immortal’s artificial heartbeat.

“The founder of Mother’s Day got President Woodrow Wilson to sign Mother’s Day into law in 1914. Towards the end of her life, Anna Jarvis came to detest her creation, due to the over commercialization of it by the public. She tried to fight this commercialization in the last years of her life.” IN OTHER NEWS: All day on Sunday, May 13th moms who dine in at Hooters will receive an order of 10 boneless chicken wings tossed in their favorite sauce for free!

It’s nice to get tweets and emails like, “Hey Mike, I was on Pandora, and you came up! That’s cool!” True, it’s cool that people get to listen. For Pandora, that’s a “satisfied customer.” For me, that’s also a “satisfied customer.” Hell, for the CUSTOMER, that’s a “satisfied customer.” I love nothing more than when everybody wins. But honestly, I wasn’t 100% sure how songs (including mine) get on Pandora, so I poked around. (BTW, if this is boring industry stuff, I found a picture of a righteous pony. Here ya go. Sweet, right?) 1) Anyway, in order to be on Pandora, you need to be selling PHYSICAL copies via AMAZON. (http://help.pandora.com/customer/portal/articles/24802-information-for-artists-submitting-to-pandora) Why? No clue. My guess? Something to do with metadata, or paperwork, or authentication or something Pandora is farming out. Whatever. I have plenty to say about that, but I’ve deleted it. OK, so I kept going. How do you sell physical copies of a CD on Amazon, in order to get on Pandora? 2) To sell physical copies via Amazon (by my research, anyway): $29.95 per year plus a 55% standard commission http://advantage.amazon.com/gp/vendor/public/join-advantage-music 2.5) You can, if you like, press CDs specifically to sell on Amazon so that you can get music on Pandora. http://www.amazon.com/gp/seller-account/mm-product-page.html?topic=200354370 I’ve decided just to give the facts, without editorializing. Hope I’ve saved some of you some time. Best, M Signed copies of “Wander Away” are available at the official Mike Errico store.
