Another pillar of my musical foundations, The Stooges' first album is one those records whose influence far outweighed its popularity. Like The Velvet Underground & Nico, hordes of people wh

- We all know it, right? Well, ya just gotta have it. 2112 finally showed Rush out on their own, doing their own thing, and doing it well, IMHO.

Black Sabbath, The White Stripes, The Stooges. There aren't many bands worth their salt that want to be compared to other bands, but when I listen to Wolfmother's self-titled American debut, I can

Hands-On With a Zune
Tuesday, October 10th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Cook
One user who has had a chance to use Microsoft's upcoming Zune MP3 player "found the device to be a viable attempt at the iPod, with some glaring pitfalls," according to an AppleInsider report.
Among the feedback: the interface is "a bit clunky;" the lack of a scroll wheel was "frustrating," because the users' "fingers intuitively wanted to scroll;" battery life "is far less robust than the iPod's;" and the case was thicker than the iPod and made out of "sort of hard rubber (not quite plastic material)."
In addition,AppleInsider noted, "it appears that Microsoft is attempting to swipe a page from Apple's marketing prowess -- on the rear of each Zune, in small inscription on the bottom next to the serial number, is a message: 'Hello from Seattle.'"
Zune is set to go on sale Nov. 14 with a US$249.99 price tag. With 30GB of storage, it's the same price as the 30GB iPod. Music sold at the Zune Marketplace will also have comparable pricing as the iTunes Store.
