- 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.
- Ray LaMontagne
At first, Ray LaMontagne might strike you as just another breathy-voiced knockoff of folk/rock guitarists like John Mayer and Jack Johnson. But he's actually got a better voice than either, he tell
- Poe
Dropping like a bomb on some of the blah musical offerings of her contemporaries, Haunted was one of the best albums of 2000, obliterating the competition.
Ostensibly a tie-in to her brot
- Amon Tobin
- The genius is in the beats. Amon Tobin creates fantastic, groovy beats behind beats. "Supermodified" rolls through your expectations of breakbeat music, and turns them up a bit. It's a mellow album, p

Part white rap, part alternative, part pop, and part rock, the Bumblebeez grabbed a hold of me with "Pony Ride," and didn't let go.

Apple vs. Apple Case Opens in the UK
Tuesday, March 28th, 2006 at 2:00 PM - by Brad Cook
Apple Corps' lawsuit against Apple Computer opened in England on Wednesday, with Apple Corps attorney Geoffrey Vos playing an iTunes ad and calling it "as flagrant a violation of this agreement as it is possible to imagine." IDG News writer Jeremy Kirk, who was on hand for the proceedings, said that Mr. Vos' argument centered around Apple Computer's use of an apple logo to advertise the iTunes Music Store.
Apple Corps wants an injunction ordered by the presiding judge, Justice Edward Mann, which would require Apple Computer to remove its logo from all iTunes promotions and presumably create a new one for all marketing and advertising. Mr. Kirk said that Apple Corps presented its case in court with widescreen monitors that showcased the iTunes ad, as well as other demonstrations of alleged trademark violations.
The reporter also noted that Mr. Mann has said that he has used iTunes but has not purchased any music through it. "Mann has been widely reported as owning an iPod, but he has continued to hear the case. The trial is expected to continue throughout the week," Mr. Kirk wrote.
As The Mac Observer explained when it covered news of the lawsuit going to court this week, Apple Computer has said that its agreement with Apple Corps only applies to selling music on cassette and CDs, not as digital downloads. Apple Corps has previously sued Apple Computer twice over trademark infringement, winning settlements both times, and filed the current lawsuit almost three years ago.
