Beatles Box includes iPod classic
Costs only $800 but at least the shipping is free. (Bloomingdales) But what exactly do they mean by “includes two masters”?

Relative Geeks
Funny story. At record show in Boston last week. It’s being held by a particular promoter in conjunction with his regular comic book show. A regular NYC customer comes up to me and says “Did you you ever think that the record show guys would NOT be the geekiest people in the house…?” Nice one! I swear, one of the guys had a Dalek tattoo! (Which must be akin to having a yellow peel-off banana tattoo or something)

You’ve Got PoOP!!!!
February 2008 Dear Comrades-In-POOP: Let there be POOP. And there was. And it was good. At age 21, POOP enters adulthood. After two decades of blather and bile, POOP seems to have taken on a life of its own. We’ve developed quite the tight community of music lovers who each year, with a little cajoling, faithfully bundle their favorites into cute little lists. It’s all very sweet. I feel like a proud papa (to quote one list). This year a record 36 fans, fanatics and people with some serious record collecting issues have bundled. If you’ve been here before, feel…

How’s this for a Christmas single…
Malcolm Middleton used to be in Arab Strap. He’s released solo record and one of the songs on it, We’re All Going To Die, is about to be released as a “Christmas Single” in the UK. The “Christmas Single” is a long-lived and somewhat odd little artifact of the UK charts. Basically, it comes from the fact that the UK market is so small that if a (not always huge) number of people all buy a single on the same day, and for a couple of days afterwards, the song stands a very good chance of getting into the official…
I must be halluncinating
I just saw an American Express commercial on TV. The soundtrack was “Gimme some Money” by spinal Tap.
Convenience Wins, Hubris Loses and Content vs. Context, a Presentation for Some Music Industry Friends
….. But in the middle I gave a brief, twenty minute presentation to some friends in the music industry about why it’s time we pay closer attention to consumer needs when it comes to digital music. I thought I’d share my presentation in case others were interested. Hello. My name is Ian Rogers. I’ve been building digital media applications since 1992, dropped out of a Computer Science PhD program to tour with Beastie Boys in 1995, and have been purchased by both AOL and Yahoo! in the ten years since then, with a stint running the new media department for…
