The energetic duet of Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione that make up the Dresden Dolls have created a wonderfully haunting sound in their self-titled album. They have been able to construct an imme
- 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.

EA Reveals Plans For SimCity on iPhone
Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 3:00 PM - by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Electronic Arts has revealed that SimCity will come to the iPhone in December with a US$10 price tag. While it will simply be called SimCity, it’s based on SimCity 3000, an EA representative told iPodObserver.com.
Players will be able to tap the screen to build, manage and destroy their city as well as pinch and pull to zoom in on and out of the 2D isometric landscape.
The gameplay will follow the tried-and-true formula established by designer Will Wright two decades ago: planning residential and commercial areas, managing everything from budgets to taxes, building roads, and wiping out all that hard work with such disasters as tornados, earthquakes, and giant monsters.
EA said that a few contemporary things will find their way into the game, including eco-friendly green buildings, mobile phone towers, and quantum computing centers.
EA also provided screenshots that are subject to change but give a good idea of what to expect. They’re marked "FPO" because they’re for preview purposes only.
