• How Far Can A Beatle Fall? McCartney To Appear On Home Shopping Network
• JamJunky: Project Management For Song Writing
  I’m not too sure about this.

You can stream the entire album by Satellite Party, Perry Farrell’s new musical project, over on their MySpace page. I’ve been listening to it this morning, and while it’s not the worst thing out there, I don’t see myself illegally downloading buying it anytime soon.

I understand the creative urge to keep producing new product, but like Harrison Ford’s film career, I feel like each project Perry does tarnishes his earlier work which was nothing short of amazing.

The new album is out tomorrow.

• MP3: The Black Angels – I Wanna Be Your Dog (Live)

Great line-up! Bjork, The White Stripes, Arctic Monkeys, Dylan, Wilco, Decemberists, Amy Winehouse, and more more more.

One of these years I am going to go to this festival.

CD Baby may have one of the worst logos on the web, but I can’t think of a place to buy CDs with more personality. During the checkout process of ordering the latest aether album, they asked if I had any special requests. They said I could ask for “anything.” So I asked that they draw smiley faces on the shipping envelope. I thought the request would throw their shipping department into an uproar.

But then the package arrived and there they were: five smiling pen strokes.

Somebody actually listened to me. Try getting that kind of personalization out of your favorite retailer’s supply chain process.

1. B For My Name
2. 14th St. Break
3. Suco De Tangerina
4. The Gala Event

The Beastie Boys have released track info from their forthcoming disc The Mix Up. They also claim it’s going to be all instrumental. That would be kind of a bummer, but with The Beasties you never know when they’re kidding and when they’re not.

Over on AOL, you can stream new releases from Arctic Monkeys, Patti Smith, Patrick Wolf, Dntel and more.

Speaking of Arctic Monkeys, it’s not elaborate but I really like their new album artwork:
