Ruse of Fools make the best video of the last 10 years (not my words)

Up-and-coming band Ruse of Fools just released a video for their single “The Flood,” and whoa, some guy on their YouTube channel said it was the best video he’s seen in the past 10 years. When I saw that, I chuckled and said — and excuse my language — “that is highly unlikely.”

iTunes Mixery

Got another one for ya. For those who don’t know, this is iTunes Mixery part seis. Here’s how it goes: I play iTunes on shuffle -> tell you which song comes up -> provide the mp3 and a tidbit -> continue until five songs and embarrassment are complete. See my previous “mixeries” at […]

iTunes Mixery

It’s that time again! If you’ve been reading along, you know the rules. If not, here’s a little refresher: I press shuffle play on iTunes, and then tell you which 5 songs show up and provide a little tidbit and the mp3 (most of the time). Judging is allowed. Here’s hoping […]

iTunes Mixery

So I’m gonna play a little game with you (I got the idea from a friend over at Silly Pipe Dreams, who now writes for the FX comedy “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”). This is what happens: I press play on iTunes, and then tell you which 5 songs show up and […]

Newsflash: “Amazon MP3 launches in the UK”

That’s right iTunes and all you other MP3 sellers. Amazon MP3 expanded from the US to the UK. The big boys are now crowding the scene in that Britpop world. Which begs the question: are indie record labels in trouble?
