Chris Anderson of WIRED Celebrates the release of The Long Tail.

Chris Anderson’s 2004 article The Long Tail, was a hard pill for the entertainment industry to swallow, but as WIRED magazine’s editor-in-chief , Chris Anderson knows a thing or two about the industry.

Flavorpill and Chris Anderson of WIRED celebrated the release of The Long Tail by bringing The Brazilian Girls and LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy to Tribeca Cinemas. We attended the event, where we sampled Budweiser’s new bottled Space Beer, otherwise known as Budweiser Select, danced, and congratulated Chris on speaking up for change.
