Facebook iTunes Page
I'm a huge fan of iTunes and recently found out they have a Facebook page. Now I can combine my love of music and online social networking. Did I mention they are giving away a bunch of free music??? Check it out.
Deadmau5
A draining week of work, lack of REM sleep, the thought of Webster Hall (a crap venue) and the droves of bridge and tunnel D-bags nearly destroyed the childlike excitement I had to see Deadmau5 spin live. Determined to end the week on a high note I bolted home, worked out and took a power nap before meeting up with the gang to enjoy an amazing night of bang'n beats.
Sounds of the Universe
The only thing better than Christmas is the day a new Depeche Mode album is released. During lunch I ran (literally) to the Virgin Megastore to pick up my copy. DM is back and they sound amazing, the best album they've put out in years.
The Art of Mixed Tapes
Growing up as a kid I would watch my brother make some of the most amazing mix tapes. Being more of a movie buff I would just sit back and enjoy the final product. Some fifteen or so years later I find myself longing for those days. Determined to recapture some of my youth I sat down to create a mix for my friends. Here is the track listing, tell me what you think.

It’s Blitz
Upon my first listen the only song that caught my attention was Zero. After hearing Kelly and Al rave about the album I decided to pick up a copy and have come to my senses. The album is awesome.
Elliott Carlson Botero
Spent the evening in Williamsburg Brooklyn (the new home of flanel and out of control facial hair) listening to my friend play with his band at Spike Hill. Have a listen.
iTunes Plus
For some odd reason I woke up itching to upgrade my music library to iTunes Plus and I'm not sure why. Yes it has better quality and no DRM but is that enough?
Röyksopp – Junior
It dropped today and you better believe I picked it up. I am tempted to give my first impressions but Röyksopp has a tendency to grow on you so doing so would be a disservice.
