Blogosphere Regurgitation
jamie on April 25th, 2007
I'm just not hot for anything new right now- but, I didn't want to leave this space blank, so I'm going to go through a few of the items that have come across my newsreader today- just think of it as and all-in-one guide to a mid-week newfeed catch-up (or just know that I'm feeling lazy)…
Feist is the woman of the hour, or month even. Her name pops up in posts almost every ten minutes, and Shameless Complacency has a great collection of Feist B-sides today.
I've been hearing Gym Class Heroes' Cupid's Chokehold on Radio1 lately, and turn off the radio every time it comes on. Sorry, I loved The Queen And I and New Friend Request, but Supertramp crosses that line. Stereogum found their cover of the Beach Boys last night, which I don't think is really that bad, but when do I ever see eye-to-eye with Stereogum?
IndieBlogHeaven let me know about some free, live Lily Allen tracks from MTV. There are also tracks from Amy Winehouse and Cold War Kids there. You have to sign up/log in to dowload the .wma tracks, but it's Lily for cryin' out loud.
Music For Kids Who Can't Read Good has a (small) tribute to recently deceased former Soviet President Boris Yeltsin (Stereogum adds in with coverage of SSLYBY's reaction to the news).
iTunes UK screwed up…massively. Shameless Complaceny reports that the music download giant put Bjork's new work Volta on their service two weeks before it's release date. Is it just me, or does this happen too often for it not to be some kind of conspiracy? Or maybe just marketing/publicity tactics? Whatever, I hate iTunes (and never use it).
And finally, even though it's not music-related, this awesome video was posted by Wooster Collective this morning. The device in play on the streets at night there looks like an amazing project- part video game, part art tool. I'm in love. Where do I get one?
