MTV launches online community!
MTV LAUNCHES FIRST ONLINE COMMUNITY TO MAKE
YOUNG PEOPLE FAMOUS FOR DOING GOOD
Bono, Pete Wentz, Shakira, John Legend, Reggie Bush, Rosario Dawson,
Nick Lachey, Chris Rock, ,Miss USA Rachel Smith and Nick Cannon
Join with Youth on Think.MTV.com to Effect Positive Change
Site Helps Members Get informed, Get Heard and Get the Goods – Including Exposure on MTV, Access to Socially Conscious Celebs, VIP Events, Grants and More
New York, NY – September 20, 2007 – MTV, along with founding partners the Case Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Goldhirsh Foundation and MCJ Amelior Foundation, today launched a new online community where young people, their friends and some of the biggest names in pop culture can come together to bring about positive change. Think.MTV.com is a dynamic, multimedia-driven site where any young person can learn more about important issues like the environment, sexual health and immigration, share their opinions – via uploaded online videos, podcasts and blogs – and connect with others to make a difference.
The Think Community is one of the only to reward members for positive actions taken online or off, serving up chances to hang out with socially conscious celebs, access to exclusive MTV events, exposure on MTV and other national media outlets, as well as grants, scholarships and more. Bono, Pete Wentz, Shakira, Reggie Bush, Rosario Dawson, Nick Cannon, Miss USA Rachel Smith, John Legend, Nick Lachey, Chris Rock and Steve Nash are just a few of the stars already involved with the Think Community, and many more will be joining in the weeks ahead.
Think.MTV.com is a place where any young person can:
· Get Educated – The Think community is loaded with multimedia content uploaded from members, ThinkMTV and MTV News. A diverse mix of video and audio, news reports, picture galleries, socially conscious video games and more helps the uninformed quickly come up-to-speed on complex issues and the hyper-literate stay up-to-date on breaking news.
· Get Connected – Think.MTV.com is a national meeting point where all young people can leverage their collective talents and have a greater impact on issues they care about. Members can align in “Think Tanks” by interests, skills, geography and more to effect change globally and locally.
· Get Heard – The Think site is a platform for all young people to make their voices heard, serving as a powerful megaphone for a generation that is constantly self-publishing. Unlike any other online community, content posted on the site will have the chance to bubble up to MTV’s other online and mobile platforms, even MTV, which reaches more than 90 million subscribers in the US. Beginning later this fall, every video, photo or conversation a user contributes will also earn Action Badges, which can be redeemed for prizes, national exposure and more.
o Action Badges – Actions taken online or in the real world translate to Action Badges, a new feature launching within the next two months, which will enhance a user’s profile, unlock new community features and result in honors and prizes (see below).
· Get Active – Think.MTV.com offers young people simple ways to take action on key social issues, including registering to vote, petitioning congress, volunteering or starting a divestment movement. Further, the Think Community enables “do-it-yourself” activism, serving as a framework any participant can use to start or join an Action Project.
o Action Projects – Developed by celebrities, leading social activists or young people, Action Projects will launch later this fall and take aim at everything from fixing broken street lamps to ending world hunger – and make it easy for anyone to join in and help.
· Get Rewarded – In a first for social activism, Think.MTV.com taps into the power of MTV, its reach and partnerships to offer valuable rewards to members who use the site to do good. One of the first examples is the Young Creators Award, a partnership with the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, which will give grants totaling $500,000 to young people (under 25) with innovative ideas on how digital journalism can strengthen community ties. Other future examples may include tickets to the VMAs for helping offset a community’s carbon footprint, exposure on MTV News for developing a pro-social video game, or scholarships for stimulating youth voter registration efforts. The possibilities are endless.
The Think Community is part of MTV Networks' recently announced Flux Network, which allows members to take their profiles and friends with them to any site in the network. Think.MTV.com is live now and MTV invites all young people to sign up, build a profile and begin contributing. The site will be the engine that drives all current and future MTV pro-social efforts, including the Emmy-winning “Choose or Lose” campaign on the presidential election, award-winning “Break the Addiction” campaign to help reduce over consumption, “It’s Your (Sex) Life” campaign to promote safe sex and fight the spread of HIV / AIDS, the network’s education initiative to help more high school students graduate prepared for college, career and life, as well as MTV Tr3s’ “Voces” campaign, launched specifically to help empower young Latinos to get the most out of their education.
The Think Community was built with the help of financial support and expertise from founding partners the Case Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Goldhirsh Foundation and MCJ Amelior Foundation. The founding partners will serve as key advisors and help bring “Best in Class” non-profit organizations – such as Malaria No More, Strong American Schools, the President’s Volunteer Service Award, Declare Yourself, City Year and PlayPumps – into the Think Community, engaging members through on and offline action projects and educational content. Other organizations contributing to and supporting Think.MTV.com include the United Nations, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Games for Change. Through partnerships between ThinkMTV and MTV's affiliate distribution partners nationwide, the network and its partners hope to inspire youth activism across the country, one local community at a time.
A major impetus behind the Think Community was ThinkMTV’s seminal youth activism study, “Just Cause,” which revealed that young people care deeply about activism: 80 percent say that taking action to help their community and others is important and the right thing to do; yet only 19% percent describe themselves as “very involved.” Respondents were very concerned about the challenges that face their generation – from personal issues like sexual health, discrimination, and education, to global concerns such as the environment, terrorism, poverty, and immigration – but many weren’t sure where to turn or how to get involved. Think.MTV.com will help mobilize these young people with new tools of engagement (mobile phones, online forums, broadband video, digital cameras, etc.), thereby narrowing the “activation gap” and making it much easier to become informed and take action.

All Time Low Frontman Responds To Fan's Suspension Over Band Photo
(Alex Gaskarth )
"Personally, I'm a little upset that anyone would find that picture to be 'offensive.' We tried our very hardest to look as sexy as possible and I think that maybe the administrative figures responsible for suspending the student were just jealous of our dashing, young physiques. I don't see any harm in carrying that particular picture around in a school environment. In fact, I've been speculating that studies may prove that the picture actually stimulates brain activity, and promotes greater levels of success in the classroom. But that's just one theory..."

Kanye out sells 50 Cent
"Graduation widely outsold 50 Cent’s Curtis in first week sales, according to Nielsen SoundScan: 957,000 copies to 691,000 copies." (from AP and TheStranger)
What does this mean for you? What does this mean for the music industry?
It means life goes on. We are now $10 to $20 poorer and Kanye West & 50 Cent are atleast twice as rich as they were before this whole competition started.

Múm Tours In Support of New Album
It has been more than three years since the release of múm's last album Summer Make Good, and a lot of water has passed under the bridge. And now, finally, múm return with their long-awaited new album, strangely titled Go Go Smear The Poison Ivy and a string of fall tour dates supporting the release - including two Wordless Music Series performances in New York City. This latest effort is a colorful, twitching, playful work of art, full of life-affirming energy.
In the three years since the last full-length offering, múm has not slept more than thought to be normal. After Summer Make Good, they toured extensively in Europe, the US and Asia and in 2005 they were invited to Amsterdam by the Holland Festival to collaborate with the National Dutch Chamber Orchestra to create a performance piece based around various compositions of the late avant-garde composer Iannis Xenakis for one of the centre piece shows at the festival. Shortly after that the lines were starting to form around the new album.
With the departure of Kristín Valty´sdóttir at the beginning of the creative process, the core of múm is again down to the original duo of founding members Gunnar Örn Tynes and Örvar óreyjarson Smárason, but the band itself is now larger than ever, counting in all seven people. The album was recorded at a variety of locations, including the music school in the small fishing town of Ísafjörur in the west fjords of Iceland, where the band made use of the school's various instruments. The songs on this multifarious album were conceived over a long period in many a different fashion, with one song even dating back to the period of Yesterday Was Dramatic, Today Is OK.
"Mum quietly, irresistibly, inhabit a no-band's land between the ancient and imminent, the organic and electronic, the head and feet." - Rolling Stone
