HI

-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.
