August is Trapped In The Closet month, 2007!
IFC.com is hosting chapters 13-22 of the saga, and will play the whole thing on tv in September. Above is chapter 12.5, officially titled “oh shit”. To see the rest of them (as of today they’re on chapter 20) GO TO THE TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET SECTION AT IFC.COM. Believe me, you won’t be sorry.
It’s not usually a win bringing up “new business magazines” in conversation, but Portfolio Magazine has proven pretty interesting with pieces like Murderers and Rapists and Tyco’s Mark Swartz. Let’s follow the former toy executive as he begins his 25 year excursion into federal prison:
Mark Swartz used to be a lucky man. He was rich and powerful. At his pinnacle, he was worth roughly $150 million. But he illegally pocketed $50 million and got caught. Swartz used to be the chief financial officer of Tyco International, and the day he went to prison, two years ago, he was big news.
“I was on the bus, chained up to the other inmates, when this guy behind me said, ‘Gimme your watch.’ ” … “I talked to some guys who’d spent some time inside. Their advice was ‘Don’t ever back down.’ So I knew there’s no way I’m giving this guy my watch. Then the guy says again, ‘Gimme the watch,’ and he looks like he’s getting mad. …the guy next to me keeps saying, ‘Just give him the watch!’ I think he was more scared than I was…so I changed the subject. I said, ‘Hey, any of you guys been in jail before?
’Cause this is my first time, and I’m not really sure of what I’m doing.’ Everyone started talking about [the] places they’d been to, and by the end of our ride—I don’t want to say we were friends, but the guy who wanted my watch…told me to look him up if we ended up in the same prison.”
Read the whole article, it’s like an episode of Financial Oz: Murderers and Rapists and Tyco’s Mark Swartz.
More Proof is some friends and I who love to play around making music and DJing. Check our collective activities at moreproof.com. We throw a party or two every month here in Toronto, and the latest was this past Saturday at the Drake Hotel. Here’s more proof that you should come out and play:
More Proof’s own artists GINGY and PILOTPRIEST made their debuts at this night. Pilotpriest is pictured here playing his own remix of gingy, Gingy is pictured here crowdsurfing:
Come out for another this Thursday:

Watch out for the next commemorative coin available only to collectors - a small airline jet that you can “fly into” your 5th anniversary 9/11 sculpture coin.
And here’s the reason I’m ragging on Brainiac:
To commemorate the beginning of Daft Punk’s North American tour, The Fader Magazine took some beautiful photos of them and wrote an amazing article. Surprise of the century - they duo spend six months of the year in Los Angeles. Now that’s what I wish Entourage was based on.
If you like this sort of thing, the Fader blog will have Pedro Winter, Daft Punk’s manager and head of Ed Banger Records writing in from every tour stop. The first issue is up now and includes lovely photos - like this one that even includes a gentleman with x-eyes, whom I believe to be an unmasked Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk. Stay tuned to Faderblog for more updates as the tour goes on.
