new music

The red-hot centerfold in this week's print edition of the Scene—no, it's not Kellie Pickler—is the Best of Nashville 2008 Reader's Poll ballot.

This was in an email Qtrax sent to users yesterday:

  ...We are looking for a person that is crazy about music, with a lot of energy, ideas and experience - Is that you?...

“What am I stepping in?”

Definitely one of my least favorite phrases to utter while walking around the house.

(PS Yep - new music blog here.)

I was at the store late last night and needing a cold drink, and there was no orange soda in the refrigerated soda case, so I was looking around and noticed something I had never seen or heard of - the new Mountain Dew Revolution, with wild berry flavor and ginseng.  It’s blue, which is usually a tipoff that it’s either really bad or really good.

‘Cause I’d have to be in a photo like one of these. One of my hobbies is finding new bands and new music. I see *lots* of similarly bad bands photos.

There's a good deal of news today about the British plan announced today that will see labels work with ISPs to curb piracy. The Independent reported that British ministers are backing proposals to tax ISP subscribers for music sharing.

Boys and girls, you may have noticed that this here blog has a new look. It's also true that the main Scene website has been resurfaced, so check it out, and give the new music section a go while you're at it.

I’ve been a bit absorbed lately with finding, downloading, and listening to new music. For every album I (legally) download, there are ten that are on the wish list.
