– iTunes Match: What you need to know | Macworld (via sudama)
That’s interesting… and awesome. I guess in the case of a band like AC/DC, who’ve publicly stated they don’t want individual tracks sold from albums, they want fans to hear the whole thing (which in the case of...

First off, if you haven’t heard of Turntable.fm, what rock have you been hiding under? It’s the new killer music site started by Stickybits founders Seth Goldstein and Billy Chasen. Basically you join a room, where up to five DJs are spinning their tracks for an audience, sometimes…

Sure, this piece has plenty of scans of the lawsuit and walks you through all the details, but completely misses the fact that this guy wasn’t even in the movie. (“Coffee mugs aren’t cool.

Monday thoughts
It’s cold and somewhat grey outside (actually the sun is out now.) My armpit itches for no good reason. I’m hungry, but too busy to get lunch.
Something big in Volume III
Raising the stakes. In CotH Tim dealt with suicide, in 1989 he tried to save April’s friend but failed. What happens in Vol. III (possibly to be titled the Keeper of the Balance.) A friend becomes ill? Goes crazy? All of these things seem cheezy. Tim himself might go crazy, or lose control. Maybe he tries to do something artistic with Shek, like create The Fallen Ones, but Shek slips further...
Ranking the Bond films
From most to least favorite. As you can see, I’m not one of those Daniel Craig/Sean Connery snobs, I think Roger Moore was awesome as James Bond. (Nostalgia may play a part, since when I first discovered James Bond coincided with the period of the best Moore films of the series.)

I’d love to hear a Jimmy Page/JPJ/Jason Bonham collaboration/tour but they shouldn’t call it Led Zeppelin if Robert Plant’s not involved. Maybe it could be The Firm II?

Apparently the Mac rumors sites lied to me… or maybe I misinterpreted their rumors in a highly self-serving way
