How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
- U2
U2's latest entry is a mostly underwhelming collection of songs that does very little to sound any different from its equally pedestrian predecessor, 2000's "All That You Can't Leave Behind." While

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.
- 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
- Prefuse 73

News Corp Exec Rattles Pricing Saber, but Said Fox TV Staying on iTunes
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by Bryan Chaffin
Peter Chernin, News Corps president and chief operating officer, said this week that his company would not be pulling its Fox TV programming from iTunes, even though his company was partnering with former iTunes content provider NBC on a rival service called Hulu. Mr. Chernin stressed, however, that it may be having a pricing beef with Apple, just like NBC, in the future.
"Right now we have a perfectly good relationship with Apple," Mr. Chernin told Reuters. "But let me say this, were the ones who should determine what the fair price for our product is, not Apple."
It was a dispute over pricing that led NBC to not renew its video content contract with Apple, which in turn led to Apple pulling NBCs existing content from iTunes. NBC wants to be able to charge more for hit shows, while Apple has long held a line in the sand for uniform pricing of US$1.99 per show, similar to the $.99 per single policy that has angered music labels.
