In all fairness, as member of BMG Music Service for the past several years, I wasn't helping them pay the bills. Like many others, I got my initial set of CDs, made at least one more purchase and then pretty much stopped.

Kids, sometimes you stumble upon things while roaming the Internet(s). It might a couple years old, but I just now discovered a real jem. Case in point, Nina Gordon's cover of NWA's "Straight Out Of Compton". Nina Gordon who, you ask. Nina was one the original co-founder's of the band Veruca Salt. She left the band in the late 90's and only within recent years started putting out solo albums. She been vocally showing everyone her softer side as well as doing some awesome covers. And if you wondering, yes she can still rock it.

I posted two music videos below. From Nina Gordon's 2000 debut solo album Tonight and the Rest of My Life - "Tonight and the Rest of My Life" and from Veruca Salt's 1994 debut album American Thighs - "Seether".

This white boy was sent here to save us. This is a cover to "Hypnotize" by The Notorious B.I.G.

Rivers Cuomo has a new solo album out now called Alone II: The Home Recordings Of Rivers Cuomo. I love Rivers' song writing and of course the band he's lead singer for, Weezer. Here's a video from said album, the song is "My Brain Is Working Overtime". I noticed when he pops out of the box, that's the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, TX. The concert was in October. I was there on the floor. Unfortunately from this video it appears to have been filmed just before the first band hit the stage. I missed out on the shenanigans. But I do have photos from the concert which I still need to get around to uploading, at some point. For now, enjoy the video and buy his album.

In June of 2008, Icelandic indie band Sigur Rós released their fifth studio album Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust. Following in the foot steps of Nine Inch Nails, Sigur Rós released their album in a variety of packages included digital, physical CD and a special deluxe edition.

After a patiently long wait I finally (yesterday) received the Deluxe Edition of Sigur Rós' album Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust.  This 200 page book with CD & DVD is a document of the creation of Sigur Rós’ fifth album in film, photography and music. Here are some photos.

In March of 2008, Trent Reznor fired off a big "FUCK YOU" to former management, the record companies and the RIAA. After almost two decades of making money for other people while being controlled by other people, Trent Reznor finally took full control of his career both creatively and professionally. As a direct result Nine Inch Nails' released their sixth studio album Ghosts I-IV. It was offered in a variety of different packages.

Alright, I'm several months late on showing photos of my copy of the Deluxe Edition Package of Nine Inch Nails' Ghosts I-IV album. I remember the Ultra-Deluxe Limited Edition Package sold out in the blink of an eye. Believe you me, given the chance I would've bought it. Damn and it. Well... here are photos of what I got.

Calling back to a song from my youth, "Right Here Right Now" by Jesus Jones. My iPhone wallpaper is the artwork of the always awesome Shepard Fairey.
