The band, minus John Cale, will discuss their music and legacy with Rolling Stone's David Fricke. They're also promoting a book The Velvet Underground: New York Art with unseen articles, photos, original handwritten material and submission from biggest fan and former Czech President Vaclav Havel.
I saw this last week but the Guardian online's Blike Blog (which was also a nice discovery) has featured a video on it.

the other half of the floor my office is on is being renovated. Today the furniture guys came in to build the new open plan office spaces. It has all been precut and designed to fit, bascially one bit flat pack job and I know how hard it is to put together one Ikea bookcase image all this!

This article is for political operators but could be the same for media. I guess it comes down to the access to tools. A few years ago it was tricky to edit video and do things like add subtitles but with cheaper simpler editing platforms available for home users (not to mention editing apps available on iPhones etc) and a host like YouTube is it no wonder some people lose their heads (as in get excited and lose their jobs)
