New Records!
Converge “Axe to Fall” Tour Press - Clear Vinyl/1000 I had to miss these guys when they came through Nashville a couple of months ago, so the fact that I was able to get the tour press of this record kind of makes up for it. Lucky for me, they had some records left over from the tour, and to make things even better, I didn’t have to pay ridiculous eBay prices for it. Huge...

I found a little kitten in the parking lot of my building, but it hisses and runs away from me when I go near it. I gave it some food, I hope it doesn’t die or get run over.

Tense Apple-AT&T iPhone partnership nearly ended... →
The companies apparently squabbled over small things as well, as the two corporate cultures did not mesh well. At one point, an AT&T representative reportedly told one of Jobs’ deputies that the company co-founder should wear a suit to meet with the AT&T Board of Directors. That AT&T employee was allegedly told, “We’re Apple. We don’t wear suits. We don’t...

Apple Knew of iPhone Antenna Glitch →
The mounting iPhone 4 controversy has hit a receptive ear in Washington, as Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) Thursday wrote to Mr. Jobs urging Apple to come up with a “permanent fix” to the problem at no cost to customers. This is comical. Surely there are more pressing matters in this country, no?

Apple promoting iPhone 4 in four new FaceTime ads →
The new spots demonstrate Apple’s marketing savvy, as each spot tugs a customers’ heartstrings, rather than simply bragging about hardware specs by comparing smartphones to some kind of an alien invasion (as Verizon’s odd Droid ads), or presenting a creepy woman muttering about esoteric features (as Palm did with its bizarre Pre commercials).

Polar Bear Club "Summer of George" EP
I love Polar Bear Club. When I lived in Pittsburgh, my band at the time played a basement show with these guys and it was great. That was actually my first time seeing them live (and hearing them!), but I’ve been a fan ever since. So, about the records. It took me almost a year to fully complete this collection, which isn’t bad considering I don’t really have any complete...

Great since day one →
Marco.org I buy things that are great today. They’re usually things that have been great since day one. And, more often than not, they’re Apple products. Great post. Well said.
