Magnatune: Open, unencumbered MP3s let you try before you buy. Buy and you get the MP3 and a high quality wav file. Even better, buy and 50 percent goes straight to the artist. I hope you’re paying attention RIAA member labels because these guys will get my money while you guys won’t. I just wish…

To The United States Congress: We are the customers and former customers of the member labels of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). We love music and will gladly pay a fair price for it, but we are outraged by the RIAA’s tactics in suing ordinary Americans for filesharing. We condemn the RIAA’s choice…

So, I’m working out. You know, because what else are you going to do on Friday night (I’m so lame). I have the computer pumping out some groovy workout tunes. At least, I thought I did until Iron Maiden’s “Number of the Beast” came on. I guess I just had my iTunes library on total…

Would you take a look at that? It seems the Bare Naked Ladies are keeping a blog. I’m not sure why I think that’s so cool, but it is. Isn’t it? More bands should do stuff like this. It seems like a good way to keep the “feel” of a personal relationship with the fans.…

That video I mentioned a couple of posts down made its way onto the Sonic 360 site. Go Check it Out (Mirando De Lado).

WAY! TOO! FUNNY!

Kinky’s video for “Mirando De Lado” is outstanding! I’d link you to it, but a brief search didn’t turn it up. Now here’s what I don’t get. They must have spent some cash producing the video — as long as they’re going to do that, shouldn’t their label host it on their web site? I…

Or, maybe it’s just that I want to go to Disney World. Either way, thanks MeFi for pointing me to this Charming French Music Video.
