Very few albums manage to capture snapshots of a quality of life in the manner that Congo Norvell's sophomore record, "Abnormals Anonymous," does.

- Nine Inch Nails
- For years I wanted to make music that sounded like something between Love and Rockets and Ministry. In 1989, Trent Reznor beat me to it with this genre-defining album, and it smacked me upside the hea
- Amon Tobin
- The genius is in the beats. Amon Tobin creates fantastic, groovy beats behind beats. "Supermodified" rolls through your expectations of breakbeat music, and turns them up a bit. It's a mellow album, p

Mike Patton may well be one of the hardest working men in showbiz these days, and his latest with Fantômas underscores just about how far out he is willing to travel.

Dell’s DJ Ditty Disappears
Monday, August 21st, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
A search through Dell's Web site comes up dry if you are looking for the DJ Ditty digital music player. The MP3 player page on the company's site sells the Sandisk Sans m240, e-Series, and Creative Vision:M players. Dell even offers an MP3 player comparison chart to help you pick out the device that's right for you, but there's no mention of the Ditty.
The DJ Ditty was Dell's Flash-based MP3 player designed to compete with the iPod shuffle. The company continued to sell it after dropping it hard drive-based Dell DJ in February, and dropped the price from US$99 to $79, and then eventually to $39.
Apple's dominance in the MP3 player market has so far proven to be something other music players have not been able to overcome, even though we have not seen a new iPod model for several months. Now, with the quiet passing of the DJ Ditty, the list of failed iPod contenders is a little longer.
Thanks to TMO reader Chris Knape for the heads up.
