- Alanis Morissette
- Ten years after the original release, comes the traditional celebratory acoustic re-recording. The album has held up remarkably well. While it is not as meaningful to me as it was when I was sixteen,
- Spoon
Gimme Fiction by Spoon is a terrific album by an Austin band that I was lucky enough to catch on an Austin radio station during a Christmas visit.
- Modern Lovers
This timeless masterpiece is little known, but it has inspired almost as many bands as The Modern Lovers' own inspiration -- and only slightly better known -- The Velvet Underground & Nico.
- World Party
Live at the Magic Bag, Ferndale, MI
- Supersuckers
- Man, there's nothing like good, old fashioned, rock and roll... add a bit of industry resentment to that with a double-shot of cynicism, and you get one of the best "new" rock bands going. This album

BitTorrent Launches Movie Download Service
Sunday, February 25th, 2007 at 2:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
BitTorrent is entering the movie and TV show download market with the launch of its BitTorrent Entertainment Network on Monday. The service is starting with titles from 20th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Warner Bros., and Lionsgate.
TV show downloads will be priced to match Apple's iTunes Store at US$1.99 each. Movies, however, will be offered on a rental-only basis at $3.99 for 24 hours. Older movies will be priced at $2.99 for 24 hours.
BitTorrent also plans to let users upload their own videos in a fashion similar to YouTube.
BitTorrent Entertainment Network programming will be encoded with Microsoft's Windows Media DRM copy protection, which means that the content will be playable only on Windows-based PCs.
The move to offer paid movie download rentals underscores BitTorrent's efforts to remove the stigma that its services are used only for trading pirated movies and music. The service is launching with over 5,000 movies and TV shows.
