The 10 Commandments--sorry Suggestions-- for the Ethical Atheist. Works just fine for those that think the bible is complete truth too. Well mostly. Actually strike that.
Bill Gates has an Urge and he wants you to buy it too. Of course. Mircosoft takes on iTunes. Why can't we all just get along?
NO SMITH'S REUNION
Mammoth Press reports: When former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr's new band, The Healers were scheduled to perform at an event planned by former Smiths bassist Andy Rourke, the rumors of a Smiths reunion started to fly.
But according to Marr via his official website “THE SMITHS WILL NOT BE RE-FORMING AT THIS CONCERT.”
BUT... Marr did announce that The Healers’ second album is currently in the works, and a tentative spring 2006 release is set
MP3. Birdmonster "All the Holes in the Wall"
One more. Tapes n Tapes "Omaha"
KT Tunstall happy the past decade has lead to this. She is pretty big over the big pond but just starting to gain here. think more mainstream Ani DiFranco.
Sat radio devises with storage.
Barry Gibb buys Cash's house. I guess Rick Rubin will be calling him soon right after he works with Timberlake. Yes Justin wants a bit of the RR magic.
Music news. Saddam's Family. Hottest band in Iraq right now. Sorry hottest Heavy Metal Band in Iraq.
A camera that bounces. It takes the photo when it hits the ground.
This a great idea. Enjoy
Day in Rock reports: Welcome to a new feature to the Day in Rock. Every Friday we will highlight a new "crime again music".
You may ask what is a crime against music, simply put it is when a classic song is misused (primarily in TV ads to sell crap). This is a heinous crime on many levels. For one there is usually such a disconnect between the original meaning of the song and the crap product being sold that it defied logic. There are a dozen more reasons but we think you can figure them out on your own. In a perfect world we would punish those responsible by locking them in a dark room and subject them to a 24/7 rotation of songs by Kelly Osbourne, Yoko Ono and Courtney Love but since that would probably violate international torture laws, we have decided to call out the companies responsible for their crimes.
We start off with an oldie but a goodie that had previously been highlighted by one of our columnists. The disconnect in this one is pretty funny but also very sad and it has the honor of being a double crime against music. We are talking of course about Six Pence None the Richer's cover of The La's classic "There She Goes". The cover version in itself is humorous because here we have a "Christian" band covering a song supposedly about heroin use. To compound this and why it is the example we use to kick off this series is that this cover was used in advertisements for birth control pills. Yes a Christian band singing a song about heroin that was used to sell birth control pills. You can see how this qualifies as a crime against music and overall good taste! It's just plain wrong on so many levels. The only thing worse would be a tampon company using Pearl Jam's "Even Flow" in an ad. (We better not give them ideas, but we hope Eddie and company would never let their music be degraded at such a level.) We must stop these crimes against music! So join us each week as we call out another company for their crimes.
More later
Bro
Don't call it a comeback...the title is from the surprisingly good/great Oasis album from 2005. Yes from their latest "Don't Believe the Truth". If you had given up on them don't be afraid to try this cd. Not their best but better than their worst.
