Some recently surfaced in-the-wild style images, and by that we of course mean slightly blurry images have surfaced online showing off a few new models of the Zune. Of course that recently confirmed 120GB Zune is included, but that comes…
Another Friday, another chance for free n' clear music for your Zune. High five! Ready for some free n' clear music for your zune?
- It's true, I love The Ting Tings. You should too; head over to Inside the Circle for a free track (rock/dance).
- Pick up a Cinematic Orchestra MP3, over at 'Tracks (eclectic)
- There's a new Lou Reed track, posted at Stereogum (rock).
- This post is chock-full of awesome free music – head over to MOKB for more: a free track from Of Montreal. (rock)
- You know who I also love? The Streets. Arjan points to a sweet MP3 of the new track "The Escapist" (garage)
- And last but certainly not not-awesome: you might know that to me a cover is (also) like a cake filled with pies. Well check this First Aid Kit cover of Fleetfoxes, over at GorillavsBear.
Ok, enjoy the free music and have a great weekend everybody!
Great news for fans of everybody's favorite ornery doctor: House is now available in Zune Marketplace. We have seasons one through four for sale now, with the new season going live this September.
Welcome, dear blog reader to the fifth edition of: So HOT Right Now: what the Zuneinsider Editors are Listening to (right now). Check it:
- Justin: "I stumbled on Common Reaction by Uh Huh Her the other day. Kinda like Metric and Ladytron mixed with The Cardigans. Here's to dance-oriented synth mixed with alt-rock! Give it a try.
- Matt: “The Game's new album “LAX” http://soLAX is one of the hottest albums I have heard this year. Star studded collaborations, expensive beats, what! Check out my faves “LAX Files”, “State of Emergency”, and “My Life”. This album is a must listen.
- Cesar: I'm rocking two very different things this week: Deep Cuts (Bonus Tracks) by The Knife. Put on your dancing shoes and give the album a listen. Then there's Portrait Of A Legend (Remastered) by Sam Cooke. A must-have for fans of Soul/R n B
- Rob: "I am following Media, Entertainment and Technology expert Ken Rutkowski and Andy Abramson on KenRadio -World tech Roundup, the longest running daily online audio show."
- Jessica: "I’m still listening to Max Graham in preparation for his show in Seattle tonight, and I just found a poppy, fun mix CD called Ultra Trance Vol. 8. Finally, I picked up a bunch of singles by Alex Morph – most of his work was familiar to me since so many big-name DJs have relied on it, but it was cool to find different mixes and versions than I’d heard before."
Ok, enjoy the recommendations and have a great week everybody! And stay tuned for New Music Friday, coming later today.
Also, one note about the podcast: we're a bit swamped with our day jobs, so the podcast is a little delayed. It's gonna be a video podcast, and should be coming out soon!
I was not a fan of Opera Software’s antitrust sabre-rattling a few months back over Microsoft’s lack of standards compliancy with its browser. But Opera’s latest complaints about Internet Explorer (IE) 8 make Opera look even more like a company that’s gone off the deep end.
