XM Radio
by Kelly on April 30th, 2008
We’re back to listening to XM radio at the office, we had tried pandora and the regular radio for awhile. They claim no commercials but I’ve definitely heard a commercial for wrecking balm (supposedly a tattoo removing lotion) at least 3 times today. But, I do love the 90s station on XM and I like how the songs don’t seem to repeat too often.
PluggedIn Launched Today
by Kelly on April 16th, 2008
PluggedIn launched today and already has 10,000 videos loaded. You have to download a player but the sound and recording are clear and look really nice. I don’t like the black background when you’re searching for anything on the website because you have to have your mouse over the word to be able to see it. The most popular videos so far are U2’s “Pride (In the Name of Love)” and Afroman’s “Because I Got High.” U2’s video is the only one that has hit 1000 plays so far today.
Leatherheads

George Clooney’s new movie, Leatherheads, didn’t make the grand debut that he was hoping. Opening weekend sales were $13.5 million a disappointment compared to the production cost of $60 million. Opening Weekend the film competed with Kevin Spacey’s Gambling Movie, 21. 21 beat the other debuting films for the second week at number one in the box office.
iBig Box

I can’t think of a time when it would be neccessary or cool to have a monsterous boom box. I thought the idea was the smaller your iPod the cooler you were. The new iBig Box is inflattable and comes with an electrc pump. The iPod weighs 12 pounds and will plug into your iPod or any other media playing device. The new iBig Box sells for $60 and is intact with speakers and fabric controls.
Bands Overlook Wikipedia
by Kelly on April 8th, 2008
In an interesting article written by Reuters discussed the missed opportunity of having a page on Wikipedia. The top three sites that viewers look at when searching for music are the artist’s page, their myspace page, and their Wikipedia entry. Artists seem to spend a great deal of time working on their website and their myspace page but often overlook the Wikipedia entry or a lot of bands don’t even make a Wikipedia entry. Yahoo reported that bands may want to reconsider their priorties when it found that users were more likely to visit a band’s Wikipedia page over their myspace page 2-1.
Where do you go to find out more about an artist?
