Radiohead - Pay what you want

Radiohead, one of my favorite bands, is releasing a new album on the 10th. But how much does it cost? As much as you want. That's right. With music sales rapidly declining over the last several years, Radiohead is telling it's fans to pay what you want. How valuable is it to you? $20? $10? $0? You're call. They are hoping that they're huge fan base will be willing to throw down for a new album. They'll probably be right. And yet, you know there's going to be thousands and thousands of people who opt to pay nothing. What will I pay? Don't know. $10 I suppose. We'll just see.

Here's the article.

Led Zepplin - together again?!?!

According to NME, they're getting back together for a possible one-time gig in London.
Oh MAN that would be awesome to see that show!!

Check it out.

Whole Lotta Love

Led Zepplin is finally coming to iTunes.
Woohoo!!
Of course, I've already got most their albums anyway, but still - my friend Ben Irao will be quite pleased.

Also, if you haven't checked out Wolfmother yet, you really should. I just converted Megan to their personal brand of rock and roll goodness. Who's next?

Kurt Cobain

Check out this site. It has a write-up of many circumstances surrounding Kurt Cobain's death. VERY interesting stuff.

Gettin' the Led Out!

Who's a Zepplin fan? Man I love their music! I haven't listened to them in a long time, but in the last few days, I've been playing their music a lot. And Loudly too. Definitely above the normal decibel rate. Rocking out as I continue forward, behind schedule, on many of my projects - multiple websites, tradeshow deliverables, identity, and so on.

Anyway! Zepplin rules!!

Fett's Vette

I found this fun music video today for a song by MC Chris called "Fett's Vette." The video is all footage from the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies. MC Chris is actually a guy who does one of the voices in Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Go here to watch the video.

Sinking Fast

As we all are aware, Jessica Simpson's PR hasn't been too hot since she dumped Nick. Her new album is not doing well; actually, it's supposed to suck.

But today, I saw something that surprised me. Jessica Simpson is the XBOX LIVE Artist of the Month. What!? Are you kidding!? Talk about being desperate for some PR. First of all, what XBOX player would ever buy a Jessica Simpson album? It's like oil and water - they don't mix. Granted, Jessica is VERY attractive, so that must be the angle they're using to attract the XBOX LIVE users. But still, an artist like Jessica Simpson going after Xbox users must be a sign of desperation.

The public liked Jessica because she was a beautiful and quirky wife. She threw that away. Anyway. Check out the site.

Give Me Fuel, Give Me Fire, Give Me that which I Desire

Exciting news for Metalheads today. Metallica is now on iTunes.

Back in the day, I was a HUGE Metallica fan. Had all their albums. Kill 'Em All, Ride the Lightning, Garage Days, Master of Puppets, ..And Justice for All, Metallica <black album>, Load, Reload, and Garage Inc. Had all the songs mesmerized and everything. Saw them in concert too. They were cool. I think <Black> was the pinnacle of their success. I must've listened to that album endlessly for months on end. It's a great album. And yet, their follow-up albums, Load and ReLoad, didn't really do much for me.

I'll have to go back now and listen to some of these old tracks. Take me back to the old days.

Thom Yorke

Yesterday Thom Yorke, the frontman of the very awesome band Radiohead, released his first solo album called The Eraser. It is super great sounding. If you are slightly depressed, very depressed, or hoping to become depressed, this album is for you! Contemplate the beautiful melancholy! or something.

Stuck in my brain

You know how you'll get a song stuck in your head, and though you try to fake it out by singing other songs, no matter what you do, you can't get it out of your head. This is what I've been suffering from for the last 3 days. It's a duet of sorts, so one person will be in black text, the other in blue.

Who broke my window?

Telling the truth isn't going to be easy.

GLASS, Everwhere you look! Who broke my window?

Why is my stomach so nervous and queezy?

Ah Ha! Some kid's ball! Who could the little culprit be? Who threw this ball, did someone see?

He's so mad, I'm really scared.

Agh kids these days, they don't care!

Mister Rutherford, Mister Rutherford...

What a horrible mess!

...I broke your window with my ball,

You!?

...and I've come to confess.

So you were behind this?! Yes! 

Aren't you afraid? Yes!

You'll have to pay for this mess you made!, but I'm proud of you child, for you have displayed Honor! The stuff from which heroes are made!

I told the truth!

He told the truuuuuth!

So, who remembers THAT one?
