- Congo Norvell
Very few albums manage to capture snapshots of a quality of life in the manner that Congo Norvell's sophomore record, "Abnormals Anonymous," does.
Comparisons to the Velvet Underground are
- Led Zeppelin
- This album bears every flavor of genius from the five records that came before. It is, I believe, the band's finest. With Physical Graffiti, Zep came raging back to their musical home territory -- har
- 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.

Sony PSP Gets Video Podcast Support
Wednesday, July 26th, 2006 at 4:00 PM - by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Sonys PSP (PlayStation Portable) on Thursday received support for video podcasts, thanks to firmware version 2.80. The device already had support for RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and audio podcasts, according to IDG.
The article noted that the new firmware also adds compatibility with the .3gp audio format used by some cell phones, as well as more versatility when accessing content stored on Memory Sticks. Reporter Martyn Williams said that Sony is expected to add support for VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) and the ability to boot games from Memory Sticks by the end of the year.
While the PSP and the iPod are very different devices occupying different niches, the PSPs ability to play back podcasts could bite into iPods market share a bit (although, of course, no one buys an iPod just for podcasts). Meanwhile, Apple has been rumored to be interested in creating and selling iPod games, although they would likely not be in the same league as the PSPs offerings, since that device was designed with gaming in mind.
