Holiday Time!
Well, tis the season and this’ll be the last more or less regular post till 2008! Crazy, who said it could be 2008? Not me…
The forecast calls for scattered posting next week, but you know… none of you will be on the internets anyway so it’ll all be just because I’m OCD. In the meantime [...]

Free Music! iTunes v. Everyone
DRM free music as well as free of cost… It seems to me that Apple is forcing everyone’s hand to try new and interesting tactics like dropping DRM and not because of no open letter but because of the iTunes Music Stores’ utter dominance of the market. Companies have tried and tried and tried to [...]
Breakfast Links: Kidnapping, Ricky Schroeder & TV Themes
First post-snow Monday Art.
Awesome! We (America) just told those lobsterbacks that we can go and kidnap British citizens if we damn well pleased. Those wig wearers thought that we were only talking about kidnapping those involved in terrorism but we got the last word in when we told them that our law applies to anyone [...]

Flyentology
This is the first single off El-P’s latest I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead - Def Jux, ‘natch. In an unparalleled feat of awesomeness the song is Flyentology. This here video was made by the Adult Swim guys! The song’s great - clearly El-P style but is it just me or are there shades of the [...]
Young U2!
Wow, thanks to Crossing Wall Street (of all places!) for posting this video of U2’s first television appearance! Look how young they are! Eddy says they’re all 16-18 here. Aww so cute! The best part is about a 1:10 in when the camera focuses on li’l Larry - who notices and then is all happy [...]
Robot dance off!
Well, now that I have more than 1 robot dancing video in my brain, it’s a dance off! I admit this battle royale is more Beat It than Transformers, but we’re a peace loving lot here.
First up we have the good ol’ Spoon video for Don’t You Evah featuring the little yellow bundle of japanese [...]
Poor Record Labels
For whatever reason, the world does not stop while I’m on vacation. I’m still scratching my head on this, I may register a complaint. But anyhoo - several major recording artists have decided to move off fully or slightly from the labels. At a time where the industry is furiously trying to keep itself relevant [...]

Mini Review: Mix Tape by Thurston Moore
Ok, here’s how this post was born. A bit ago I posted on some Joy Division shoes. Matthew R Walker posted an interesting comment that led me to his blog. Searched around for the post he referenced and then spent a little more time checking out his postings (lotta interesting stuff there) and came across [...]
Breakfast Links: Lego-Porn, Randomness v. Terrorists & Radiohead
It’s a little bit o’ monday art fo’ ya.
Lego-porn. And I’m not talking about lego-porn the way the internets like to talk about cool pictures of things, no, I’m talking about pr0n. This site is about showing pictures of those li’l lego guys (and gals) doing bad things. True to its roots it’s replete with [...]

Review: Amazon’s MP3 store
UDPATE: Just read this on DF but Amazon has obliged Radiohead and is only selling their albums, not individual songs. Nice! Go Amazon!
Huh, so Amazon just launched their MP3 store. I’ve been curious about how it’d be, Unbox - as awful and exclusionary as it is made me wonder how Amazon’s execution would be for [...]
