Came across this little gem the other day and just had to repost it. It’s the internet, as seen through the eyes of Dante’s The Divine Comedy….I give you: Dante’s Internet.

This is one videoclip that must have been pulled from the deep back corners of the archives: It’s Kentucky Fried Chickens celebrity spokesman, founder & social icon Colonel Harland Sanders as the weekly guest on the popular CBS game show What’s My Line? (circa 1964). People talk a lot these days about “You are now the brand” or about “Brands coming to life,” well here’s an example of one company that made their brand come to life in the everyday life of its’ founder…RIP my dear old southern friend.

This doesn’t have much to do with the site other than I think its both powerful & well, outright cool. It’s a recently BAFTA nominated short by 23 year old director Luke Snellin titled Mixtape. This piece reminds me of the charm, allure and sheer power that mixtapes can have in connecting people though the sharing of music tastes (and sometimes added voice-over commentary). It also has a killer soundtrack of some favorites from the 60s and 70s. Some of my favorite tapes + later cds that held permanent spots in rotation were mixtapes given to me by friends and/or loved ones. I guess now that’s been replaced by having playlists on last.fm & itunes, though to me it’ll never be the same. Anyhow, enjoy!
