- Rush
- We all know it, right? Well, ya just gotta have it. 2112 finally showed Rush out on their own, doing their own thing, and doing it well, IMHO.
- 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.
- Belle & Sebastian
The Life Pursuit is a sort of Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. You get Belle & Sebastian's peanut butter (its wistful, often irresistible pop) dipped in a 'Have A Nice Day!' and glam 70s chocol
- Phish
- This quasi-concept album (the only of its kind) from these Vermonters finally showcased their ability to convey a message with a studio album, whereas previously they only succeeded in doing so live.
- Fantomas
Mike Patton may well be one of the hardest working men in showbiz these days, and his latest with Fantômas underscores just about how far out he is willing to travel.

Bloomberg LP - Financial Information on Your iPhone
Thursday, July 17th, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by Bryan Chaffin
Apple has long provided a stock market tracker on the iPhone, but Bloomberg has released a free app called Bloomberg LP that offers far more than the default app. The version I installed is version 1.1, an 0.8MB download from the App Store.
There are four basic screens in Bloomberg LP: About, World Markets, My Stocks, and Stock Finder. World Markets offers a snapshot of all the worldis major and minor stock markets, including STOXX, FTSE, BOVESPA, and SMI, not to mention the usual NASDAQ, DOW, S&P and NIKKEI.
The My Stocks screen offers a rundown of whatever personal stocks you have entered, like Appleis default stock ticker, but it adds an additional page of information, as shown in the screenshot below. You get the dayis high and low, volume, a 52-week summary with high and low, as well as the P/E ratio. Even better, there are news stories involving each company that will open up to the full Bloomberg story without moving to Safari.
This is a great too for stock junkies.
