I’m not sure how I came across this trailer, but it looks like a very interesting movie. I think I’ll buy/download it tonight and plan to write a review later this week. Check it out:
More info about the film can be found on the Before the Music Dies site.

My buddy Jim turned me on to a band from Finland called Cause for Effect. This music blows me away. They are a duo, (bass and drums) very technical, and super heavy for not having a guitar player. They describe their sound as “Fusion Grindcore” which should give you a pretty good idea of what they sound like. But don’t just take my word for it–head over to their site and check out some of their videos.

The New York Post is reporting that some artist managers are grumbling about not seeing any of the money the RIAA has received from settling with Napster, YouTube, Kazaa, etc. over the past couple of years. A snip from the article:
A contingent of prominent artist managers claims that little to none of that money has trickled down to their clients. They are now considering legal action.
“Artist managers and lawyers have been wondering for months when their artists will see money from the copyright settlements and how it will be accounted for,” said lawyer John Branca, who has represented Korn, Don Henley, and The Rolling Stones, among others.
“Some of them are even talking about filing lawsuits if they don’t get paid soon.”
Record label sources said corporate bosses are still deciding on how best to split the money. In determining the payout, they said not every artist is owed money and it must be calculated with regard to the level of copyright infringement for each artist.
What’s more, these sources said that after the labels recouped their legal expenses, there wasn’t much left to pass along to the artists.
Who didn’t see this coming?

Jake Shimabukuro plays my favorite song by my favorite Beatle on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. I’m gonna have to get one of those. (A ukulele that is… not a Hawaiian guy)

So I finally found a theme I can live work with. The theme is based on Adam Walker Cleaveland’s excellent “widgetized” Cleaker 2.1 theme.
I still have a lot of work to do, but it’s getting there.
