HI

I haven't been around a lot this week, so this is like one big update.

-I know that I rip on Jet, but who doesn't nowadays. That's what you get when you try to pawn off classic rock cover songs as your own, TAKE THAT! First Pitchfork, now real reporters.

-Google buys YouTube for $1.5 Billion

YouTube really lets people get their creativity out there. Online Video and digital music sites like MySpace[MUSIC], Napster-types, P2P, and blogs really help to spread the word about good music. Creativity is running wild and now it has the channels to hit the consumer. Its weird but the Internet is to present day rap and rock like the 'Underground' was the movement in the 60's, 70's, and 80's. Right? or not.

-Beck's new album was barred from the UK Charts because of the DVD and stickers included.
He actually made crazy lo-fi videos for all of the songs on the new album.

Beck-Nausea (Puppets Version)

-1000 BPM
-This Girl, 1000 BPM, No Complaints, Movie Theme (clips)

The Raconteurs-Broken Boy Soldiers



The Raconteurs-Hands (recorded at a school for Deaf Girls)


-STEREOGUM has a great little article on the state of terrestrial radio
-Tenacious D gets ready to hit the road
-Iggy and The Stooges record first album since 1973
-Pete Townshend and Eddie Vedder gonna Jam it Out
-Modest Mouse tour and album details
-Ten White Stripes songs have been arranged by an orchestra and will be released as "Aluminium"


I don't know if you've heard this one yet, but I think its off the upcoming Incubus album.
