- Man, there's nothing like good, old fashioned, rock and roll... add a bit of industry resentment to that with a double-shot of cynicism, and you get one of the best "new" rock bands going. This album

- With the new movie adaptation of H.G Wells' classic Sci Fi invasion tale, War of the Worlds, currently on theater screens everywhere, there's new interest in Jeff Wayne's rock opera version, and it is
- Massive Attack
"Black Milk" knocks me off my feet in this collection of moody and eclectic songs. Massive Attack uses samples and keyboards in a very unique way, but not all the songs pack the same punch.
- Poe
Dropping like a bomb on some of the blah musical offerings of her contemporaries, Haunted was one of the best albums of 2000, obliterating the competition.
Ostensibly a tie-in to her brot

For those of you who don't know, Chicago didn't always suck, and everyone in the band didn't always play a keyboard. When the band started off they were pioneers of rock and jazz fusion, and guita

Swisscom Announces iPhone 3G Rates with Data Caps
Monday, June 30th, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Swisscom will start selling Apple’s new iPhone 3G on July 11, and will offer the combination iPod and smartphone with both standard subscription and pre-paid options. Like Norway, Swiss iPhone users will face a 100MB data cap on the least expensive service plan, and top out at 1GB for the top of the line plan.
The 8GB model will sell for CHF99 (about US$97.51) with the CHF55 (about US$54.22) a month NATEL liberty grande service contract. The plan includes 1GB of data a month, and users will pay CHF0.50 (about US$0.49) per hour for calls.
The 8GB iPhone 3G will cost CHF249 (about US$245.50) with the NATEL liberty piccolo CHF25 (about US$24.65) a month plan, or CHF199 (about US$196.23) with the CHF35 (about US$34.51) a month NATEL liberty mezzo package. The data plans include 100MB a month and 250MB a month, respectively.
liberty picolo subscribers will pay CHF0.70 (about US$0.69) an hour for calls, and liberty mezzo users will pay CHF0.50 per hour. All of the plans include free Wi-Fi access at Swisscom WLAN hotspots.
While paying an additional per-hour fee for using your cell phone might seem outlandish to many U.S. iPhone users, apparently this is how Swisscom’s other cell packages work, too.
Apple’s iPhone 3G is set to launch in about 20 countries on July 11 and will include 3G wireless data support, a built-in GPS, and support for Microsoft Exchange.
