Type O Negative and Valentine’s Day go together. They’re the definitive romantic metal band, and now a live clip of “Love You to Death” has been released for our V-Day enjoyment.
The footage is taken from Type O’s performance at Wacken Open Air in 2007. Originally included on the seminal 1996 album October Rust, “Love You to Death” is arguably the band’s signature song, fusing gothic camp, doom metal, and genuine heartfelt emotion. Not surprisingly, it became an obligatory inclusion on the band’s setlists.
One of the most impressive aspects of Type O was their ability to perfectly render their studio output in the live setting. The late Peter Steele’s command of voice and instrument is profound, as seen in the Wacken clip, and the rest of the band members relish in their respective parts — especially keyboardist Josh Silver.

During the recent filming of a PSA to protect political consultants who draw voting district maps, actor Ed Helms figures out that he’s on the wrong side of the gerrymandering issue — and hilarity ensues.
Helms’ The Office co-star Rainn Wilson makes a cameo appearance.
In Save the Gerrymanderers, a new short film from leading right-left anti-corruption organization RepresentUs, Helms highlights the serious threat of gerrymandering to voters nationwide.
Gerrymandering is when voting district lines are drawn in a way that unfairly advantages one political party over another – and it allows politicians to pick their own voters, instead of the other way around. The Gerrymandering Threat Index released by RepresentUs shows dozens of states at risk of extreme gerrymandering this year.

Six of the world’s biggest Spanish-speaking celebrities star in a new ad to bring attention to laws that require voters in 16 states – including the important swing state of Pennsylvania -to insert their mail-in ballot into two separate envelopes in order to be counted.
If the ballot is not inserted properly it is considered “naked,” and in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, it is thrown away. This “naked ballot rule” risks the rejection of hundreds of thousands of mail-in votes, which could significantly impact US election results.
In the spot, celebrities Penelope Cruz, Ricky Martin, Salma Hayek, Zoe Saldana, Edgar Ramírez, and Alejandro Sanz instruct voters on how to properly vote-by-mail, urging them to do so Asap, ahead of November’s critical presidential election.

The ad was created by RepresentUs, the non-partisan anti-corruption and pro-democracy group — but is being released unbranded for the broadest possible public distribution.

Last night the the Federal Communications Commission and the Justice Department approved the proposed merger with NBC Universal, ending the long review process which started over a year ago. The FCC voted 4 to 1 in favor of the deal, but has attached several conditions and stipulations to mitigate risks “to the development of innovative online video distribution services.” The Justice Department announced its approval shortly afterward. FCC Chair Julius Genachowski said in his statement that the conditions "include carefully considered steps to ensure that competition drives innovation in the emerging online video marketplace. One notable condition is that Comcast must give up NBCU's position on Hulu's board of directors, though it will retain its economic stake. Free Press President and CEO Josh Silver made the following statement about the approval's implications for net neutrality. Today’s decision by the FCC represents a failure of the agency to live up to its own public interest mandate,...

New York - The FCC has restarted the clock on its review of the planned acquisition of a controlling stake in NBC Universal by cable giant Comcast Corp., for now leaving it on track to make a decision before year's end.
The government agency had recently stopped the review clock until the submission of additional materials by the companies.
Critics of the deal have also been trying to gain more time to argue their case by requesting certain deadline extensions, but for now observers say decisions by the FCC and the Department of Justice look to come around the end of the year. A Comcast spokeswoman Tuesday also reaffirmed that expectation.
Merger partners typically want to close a deal sooner rather than later to avoid investor and other insecurity.
After pausing its process on June 11 to collect additional information from Comcast and NBC Uni, the FCC said Tuesday it restarted...

"It is with great sadness that we inform you that Type O Negative frontman, bassist and our bandmate, Peter Steele passed away last night of what appears to be heart failure," keyboardist Josh Silver, guitarist Kenny Hickey and drummer Johnny Kelly, the grief-stricken rockers, said in a statement on their Web site.

I can't pretend I really knew Type O Negative frontman Peter Steele, who died Wednesday, reportedly of heart failure, although I'd met and interviewed him several times.
I knew his music, from the early days of his lurid mid-'80s thrash band Carnivore to the sophisticated melange of Black Sabbath, Sisters of Mercy, Pink Floyd and the Beatles that he and his bandmates conjured with Type O Negative. I knew that he was an amazing performer, haunting and charismatic, commanding yet never pompous.
I knew that every time I interviewed him we'd end up talking about how dismal the music industry — and life itself — can be, how our greatest weaknesses can obliterate our most powerful strengths. And I knew that whenever we talked, whether it was casual conversation at an industry...
