DRM-free in 2003… Oh wait, it’s already 2007
With the announcement of iTunes Plus, Apple takes us one step closer to a DRM-free world. According to the site:
For just 30¢ more per song, choose iTunes Plus songs that feature higher quality, 256 kbps AAC encoding — twice the standard bit rate — and no DRM (digital rights management). That means you can play […]
Warm & Scratchy
I love free music, call me crazy. I’ll fucking kill you if you ever call me crazy again. I’m just eccentric.
Anyway, the good folks over at Adult Swim sate my desire for free music with this delicious Warm & Scratchy mix:
TV On The Radio – Me-I
The Raveonettes – Dead Sound
Les Savy Fav – […]
AllofMP3.com - We Hardly Knew You

Martsch is a synonym for Swamp
Your favorite hobo impersonator and mine is bringing his band to the Vic in Chicago on July 17 for what i’m sure will be another totally-worth-attending but super-annoying-at-points performance. I’ve seen these guys more times than any other band i can think of, and they usually end up adding a second Chicago show once the […]
I don’t want to sound gay or anything, but…
These new Feist videos are great.
Actually, I don’t mind sounding gay at all. The dance routines in these new videos are amazing, especially when they get all Busby Berkeley on us. My not-at-all-educated eye is amazed by the camera work in My Moon My Man, which somehow manages to smoothly keep what must […]
