- 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.
- 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

Most musical episodes of TV shows frankly stink. They are usually little more than ill-conceived vehicles intended to let the stars show off what musical talent they have. Once More, With Feeling,

- 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

Columnist Calls NBC the Loser in iTunes Spat
Sunday, September 9th, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by Bryan Chaffin
NBC is coming out on the losing end of its public spat with Apple over iTunes pricing, according to Vince Horiuchi, a columnist writing for the Salt Lake City Tribune. Mr. Horiuchi wrote that NBC’s timing was terrible in light of Apple’s new video-oriented iPod product line-up, and that the network is losing out on the kind of attention that shows like The Office receive from iTunes, attention many have credited with the show’s survival.
"NBC," he wrote, "which is in fourth place in the ratings, needs iTunes to drum up interest in its series. [...] The service gives extra visibility to shows like Friday Night Lights or 30 Rock, which need the exposure if they are to survive another season."
The root of the problem, according to Mr. Horiuchi, is that NBC doesn’t understand the sea change that iTunes is bringing to the world of Television programming, and instead sees service as merely another revenue stream. It’s that lack of understanding that makes the network a bigger loser than Apple by pulling its programming out of iTunes.
