MTV is not made for me… (except Wonder Showzen)

Microsoft is not for me….. (except XBOX)

Subscribing for music downloads is not meant for me…..

But maybe the idea of an MTV/Microsoft branded subscription music service is for you? Read about it here.

Over on Google Trends you can compare two website searches and see what gets searched more.

For fun, I typed in CMJ and SXSW to see what people show more interest in when searching. The spikes are around the month of the respective festivals – March for SXSW, September for CMJ.

Granted, SXSW has a slight advantage because of the film and tech portions, but hey, it’s fun to look at nonetheless.

What a terrible tragedy… Should the tour manager be sent to jail? Discuss in the comments.

The former Great White tour manager whose pyrotechnics caused a Rhode Island nightclub fire that killed 100 people was sentenced Wednesday (May 10) to four years in prison.

Daniel Biechele, 29, could have received up to 10 years behind bars under a deal he struck with prosecutors in February, when he pleaded guilty to 100 counts of involuntary manslaughter. (full story)

I guess Warren didn’t like it……

“I AM” by Scout Niblett was sent me by a friend. I had my doubts, after her denatured cover of “Uptown Top Ranking.” After I AM, I’m afraid I have to consign her to the same mental space I keep Joanna Newsom — somewhere between “misguided” and “on list for re-education camp attendance when I take over world”. Because I am essentially benign, and calling for people to have musicians’ hands broken is something I like to think I left behind in my twenties. The adult thing to do is to avoid anything the poor woman has touched and say no more about it. Everyone’s tastes are different, and I’m sure there are many people not in hospitals who enjoy Ms Niblett’s work very much.
