Explosions In The Sky: Terminal 5 [4/08/2008]
2007-12-12 16:52:00
Explosions in the Sky are coming Terminal 5 in NYC on April 8, 2008 ! I was very excited to learn this and have already got my tickets thru their website. Think they worked out to be about 25$ a piece with all charges and shipping. This band is amazing and I still haven't gotten sick of any of their tracks. I caught them out in the insane heat at Coachella and it was still awesome. I am really looking forward to seeing a full show buy these guys......TICKETShttp://theblueclover.com

[Ron Paul + Dennis Kucinich] Dream Ticket???
2007-12-07 17:11:00
I usually refrain from politricks but I have been very pissed of lately at the bias of the news media. It really makes me sick. I am not sure if any of this presidential election stuff really matters. Part of me thinks its all a distraction and that the outcome has all ready been decided or will be rigged. The hopeful part of me would like to think that we still have a choice and that this country isn't run by corporations, media outlets and the super rich.The two candidates that seem to me to be the most honest and realistic are Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul . I hate all this party bull shit, to me it is just a way to divide us. Competetion obviously brings out more negatives then positives and it keeps us distracted from how fucked our country really is. I think our best chance to go in a different and logical direction is with Ron Paul and Kucinich. I don't really care which one is president. It is more about their ideas and courage to fight for the people.Unfortunately in this i...

Damn I thought this was all over. I guess somethings don't change. Scott who I think is probably one of the best live performers out there has been up to no good again. Somehow this guy just can't get away with anything. I still wonder what the Stone Temple Pilots would have become if it wasn't for his drug problems.....Anyway the full article is below.

New Macbook Pro's?
2007-12-03 16:36:00
Checking out the best site for mac news I came across a rumor that there might be a significant upgrade to the macbook pro early next year. Here are the details from macrumors.comTaiwanese site Coolaler previewed an early version of Intel's upcoming Penryn X9000 CPU. A translation of some of the findings was provided by Fudzilla.The CPU previewed was an engineering build of the unreleased mobile Penryn X9000 CPU clocked at 2.8GHz. Along with the 45-nm die shrink, the upcoming mobile CPUs increase the L2 cache, and boost processor speeds. The 3dmark06 benchmark for the production sample 2.8GHz processor gives a CPU score of 2569, which compares to scores of 2106-2339 for the current top-of-the-line 2.6GHz CPU available as a build-to-order option in MacBook Pros.Future and current Intel mobile processors are compiled in this table:Future Mobile Penryn Processors Model Speed Bus L2 X9000 2.8GHz 800MHz 6MB T9500 2.6GHz 800MHz 6MB T9300 2.5GHz 800MHz 6MB T8300 2.4GHz 800MHz 3MB T8100 2...

D.I.M. Is You
2007-11-21 15:22:00
Pretty good track here from an artist you should be hearing more about.It really sounds like the song starts the same way it ends.I  feel like it could just loop right around and keep goi ng.Got the track from Discobelle here is what they had to say....."D.I.M. is about to release his new single next week on Boyz Noize Records and have previously released tracks on Tiga’s Turbo label. He’s been making some noise with both his own productions (especially “Airbus Babyâ€�) and his remixes of Chromeo, Midnight Juggernauts, Teenage Bad Girl etc. This new single “Is Youâ€� will also feature a remix from our friend Brodinski (which you can listen to over on french site Fairtilizer) but for now we give you the original version. “Is Youâ€� is one big electro banger (although a bit on the slow side) that incorporates a really nasty and heavy bass, handclaps, sweet repetetive vocals and tops it off with a massive break."D.I.M. - Is You (zShare)

Just ran into this track on Discobelle. Nothing ground breaking but its a quality track. If you like Daft Punk, Justice, SebastiAn you will most likely like this track. Here is what discobelle had to say.....'Danger out of Lyon is the latest example, recently signed to the Ekleroshock label where he just released his debut EP “09.14.2007″. He’s been cranking out some serious tunes lately and we’ve got a hold of this excellent track “14h54″ (courtesy of Mathieu over at Ekleroshock) that’s bound to have people on the dancefloor yearning for more. Somebody wrote that if Daft Punk and Justice had sex, their lovechild would be Danger…although we’re also seeing/hearing some similarities to the mighty Kavinsky.
