- 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.
- 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.

Nielsen//NetRatings Admits Podcasting Inaccuracies
Wednesday, July 12th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Cook
Nielsen//NetRatings on Wednesday claimed that over nine million audio and five million video podcasts had been downloaded during the previous 30 days, but the firm's analyst, Michael Lanz, on Thursday admitted that music downloads could have been included in that number.
"Depending on how narrowly people interpreted the question about 'podcasting,' there are some music downloads there, too," Mr. Lanz told MarketWatch's Frank Barnako. He noted that music files were included as an option when the survey was presented. "Few people would argue that music downloads are more popular than podcasts," Mr. Barnako wrote.
The research firm also admitted to the columnist that its news release headlined "Podcasting Gains an Important Foothold Among U.S. Adult Online Population" wasn't quite accurate either. Nielsen//NetRatings confused the act of creating a podcast with the act of downloading one, a Nielsen spokeswoman told Mr. Barnako, which is why it titled a chart showing podcast downloads over the past 30 days: "Market Size Estimation of Audio and Video Podcasters."
