Life…at 33-1/3 RPM
Somewhere in time I’m going to take a guess that most people reading this blog post have never bought a vinyl album. I’m not going to say it’s a shame because I can understand how the CD dominated after it became popular around 1984. However, this isn’t going to be a post about how one [...]
Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) goes independent
In the last few years, I’ve seen the record industry just not “get it”. Or, they want to use antiquated laws to make sure they can get every dime possible from archaic distribution means. They just don’t see the bigger picture. Growing up, sharing music meant taking the time to make a copy of an [...]
Hanna Montana tickets sell out in 18 minutes
So I thought it would be nice to take the girls to their first real concert. Hanna Montana tickets went on sale today at 10am, but I didn’t know there was a fan club you had to join to get the code (Ticketmaster didn’t tell you) so at 10:02 I’m on mileyworld signing my oldest [...]
Feed me, Seymore!
As I mentioned before, I got the 160 GB iPod. I thought “oh, no problem, I’ll just import all my CDs”. Let me tell you, importing CDs isn’t as easy as it sounds, nor is it exciting, even if you’re doing it in the background. The constant dance of opening/closing the drive door, swapping CDs, [...]

I had a goal these last few months which was to rip my entire CD collection (something like 1200 of them) and see how much space it took up. The challenge has been fighting people who put in terrible Gracenote track names. For example: 1) DO NOT put the name of the album in the [...]
Survivalism
After only two years, Ternt Reznor’s coming out with a new NIN album. I haven’t heard the new single yet, but instead I’m downloading it from the NIN page in GarageBand format. Serious kudos to Trent for showing us a behind-the-scenes look at how his albums are made. Click here for the GarageBand file
Neverland back up
Sorry about that – my credit card expired, and so did my radio show for a few hours .
iTunes Music Store offers Final Fantasy soundtracks
Videogames are a huge business. Halo 2 made over $100 million on its first day of release alone (well, $50 a pop is more than a $10 movie ticket, but who’s looking at that?). Final Fantasy has been one of the most successful game franchises ever. The iTunes Music Store started offering 15 Final Fantasy [...]
Ozzfest
I leave for Ozzfest in 4 hours. Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Slayer. How friggin’ cool is THAT?
Concert Schedule
So here it is, another summer, another list of concerts to go to. June 5 – David Bowie July 16 – Ozzfest (Ozzy, Judas Priest, Slayer) August 10 – The (Grateful) Dead August 14 – Rush It’s not bad. The Rush concert is going to be amazing since it’s their 30th anniversary tour. Damn, has [...]
