Poe rocked my world with "Angry Johnny" (I want to kill you/I want to blow you/Away) and "Trigger Happy Jack" (Trigger Happy Jack/ You're gonna blow/But I'm gonna get off/Before you go), as powe
- Weather Report
- This is Weather Reports quintessential line-up captured live. Jaco Pastorious and Peter Erskine join Wayne Shorter and, of course, Joe Zawinul to create this masterpiece.
- Goldfrapp
On their latest CD, Supernature, Goldfrapp has put together a successful mix of 1980-era New Romanticism, German cabaret, and T. Rex glam that leaves you riveted even through the album's lulls. It's a great amalgam that sounds current without sounding at all dated.
- Led Zeppelin
- This album bears every flavor of genius from the five records that came before. It is, I believe, the band's finest. With Physical Graffiti, Zep came raging back to their musical home territory -- har

Apple Moves Closer to NZ iTunes Store By Buying Domain Name
Sunday, August 7th, 2005 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Cook
New Zealand news site Stuff reports on Monday that "Apple has moved a step closer to launching its long-awaited iTunes online music store in New Zealand, taking over the itunes.co.nz domain name from a Dunedin businessman who first registered the Web address." That businessman, Dave Goosselink, was using the Web site to sell iPods via Amazon.com and is quoted in the article as saying he's "satisfied with the arrangement" to sell the domain.
Apple's move comes on the heels of the launch of CokeTunes, Coca-Cola's online music store for New Zealanders. That site features almost 600,000 songs while its only local competition, Digirama, offers 73,000 tunes for sale. CokeTunes has deals with Universal, Warner, EMI and local New Zealand labels. It sells songs and albums for $1.75 and $18, respectively, prompting Digirama to cut its prices to $1.69 and $17.99. Those numbers are in New Zealand currency; CokeTunes' prices are $1.21 and $12.46 at current exchange rates.
Apple declined to comment to Stuff, of course, leaving the launch date of New Zealand's iTunes Music Store a mystery. The company purchased itunes.com.au in April, but it has yet to open the Australian iTunes Music Store.
