- The Redwalls
- Wow! Perhaps my 5-star rating is simply because the Redwalls are not only new and fresh (none of them older than 22!), or perhaps its because -- despite their ages -- they are able to totally capture

Pressure Chief, Cake's latest album, didn't immediately grab me. In fact, it took perhaps half a dozen listens before I started truly enjoying it. Any
- 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.

Joost Gets $45M Cash Infusion

Joost has received about US$45M from five backers, including financiers from Silicon valley, China and Europe, according to Reuters on Thursday. Joost has also provided a sign-up page.
"Index Ventures, Europes top Internet venture capital firm and an early backer of Skype, is leading the round with Sequoia Capital, the worlds top venture capital firm, which has financed start-ups from Apple to Yahoo to Google to YouTube.
"Joost, a year-old company that is the hottest thing in Internet video after YouTube, is seeking to do for long-form television programming what YouTube has done for short, user-created video sketches," Reuters reported
The key to Joosts success so far has been a robust security and business model that works with content providers instead of against them. So far Joost has signed deals with Viacom, CBS, Time Warner and some independent producers. It has also inked deals with 31 name-brand advertisers while still in the testing phase.
Currently Joost has about 150 channels. A special sign up page has been created by the Joost team. Interpersonal invitations are no longer required.
