Detroit Essentials

It's DetROIT not DetRIOT

Zack at Detroit Wonk noted that iTunes now has a Detroit playlist containing songs by artists from Detroit.  But iTunes had one glarring error.  From Zack's words:

UPDATE 11:43PM I did not notice this until Ray pointed it out to me, but the Detroit iTunes Essentials graphic has misspelled "Detroit" as "Detriot," emphasis on "riot." I urge you all to email iTunes here, and ask them for an explanation - or, lacking that, merely ask "What the hell?" Of all the categories for request, perhaps "Augment a Genre" fits best - though if "Point out a gross oversight" were a category, that would be most fitting.

Misspelling?  Or something else??  I did send feedback to iTunes.  Regardless of what happened, it needs to be fixed.  Check out Detroit Wonk for the entire article and many great comments.

Da Day

At some of the major Super Bowl events downtown you may notice a few people picketing and handing out flyers for Da Day,that is The Day After The Big Game.  It's a grassroots campaign aimed to proclaim the day after the Super Bowl a national holiday.  While this turns out to be a White Castle campaign to eat more slyders, it a pretty interesting concept.  I know I'd love to have the Monday after the Super Bowl off.  Check out the online petition for Da Day.
