  • Modern Lovers

    • 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.

  • Quadrophenia

    • 10 out of 10
    • The Who
    • Quadrophenia is everything that Tommy wanted to be, a rock opera that told a story, but one where every song could still stand alone. It was also Pete Townshend's farewell tribute to the Mod

  • Album Of The Year

    • 10 out of 10
    • Brother Love
    • Killer grooves, catchy riffs, edgy vocals with oh-so-just-right layered harmonies, and a drive that will move even YOU out of your chair, Brother Love's initial release is what rock and roll should be
  • One Word Extinguisher

    • 8 out of 10
    • Prefuse 73
    • It's an album about a breakup, done with beats instead of mopey lyrics. But the beats are raw, and the emotions are there, even if there aren't many words on top of it. While possibly not Scott Herren

    • Mystics Anonymous
    • Mystics Anonymous is the brainchild project of Jeff Steblea, a fantastic songwriter and good friend of mine, as well. In fact, I even played the drums on all but one of the tracks on this album. Jef

NBC Moves From iTunes to Amazon

NBC executives decided last week not to renew the company’s contract with the iTunes Store, and Apple countered by dropping the network’s lineup before the current contract ran out. Now NBC is expanding its relationship with Amazon by offering its shows through the online retailer’s Unbox service, according to The New York Times.

Amazon agreed to NBC’s demand for more flexible pricing -- something Apple refused to do. While final pricing for NBC’s TV shows has not been set yet, Unbox will offer 30 percent discounts for customers that purchase a complete season. Depending on how NBC’s deal with Amazon works out, individual shows could cost more than the US$1.99 at the iTunes Store.

The popularity of Amazon’s Unbox trails far behind Apple’s iTunes Store, so NBC may be giving the service a much needed shot in the arm. Unbox’s reliability issues, however, coupled with a lack of iPod support, could still hamper the service’s popularity.
