"Eula" by Brian Joseph Davis (2007)

"Several years ago, forward thinking Sony/BMG created a new form of music by creating CDs with computer viruses and hidden contracts. This is a cover, by a women's chorus, of Sony's best song, End User License Agreement."

Click to listen.

It's so eerily beautiful... like a 21st century corporate monastic hymn.

Listen to more of Davis's work on UbuWeb, and his website.

chic people do chic things



if you're like me, you often dream of a life surrounded by chicago's social elite, holding that effervescent glass of champagne (does anyone know a champagne that doesn't start with an A and end with a -ndre? because i don't.) and showing off your air-brushed legs in a cocktail gown designed to break hearts.

now, for $15, we too - the few, the midtermed-out, the underage - can be truly cultured for a night.


"See the Art Institute in a new light--After Dark. Immerse yourself in the luminous photographs of Jeff Wall. Surround yourself with music from Life during Wartime DJs and performances by the acclaimed theatrical ensemble Collaboraction. Grab a cocktail and enjoy complimentary appetizers. After Dark offers a whole new experience of the Art Institute.
