Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be. – William Hazlitt

Widely considered one of the best live concert recordings, Nirvana – Live at Reading is now available on CD, DVD, and MP3s. Highly recommended. Lala has it for $8.50.
I’ve been jamming on this all afternoon. One trip through the album and I bought it. God, they were good.

As with previous years, the SXSW music has been released to the ‘net. And, like last year, it was up to the fans to seed a torrent of the 5 gigs of music (because it’s too hard for the organizers to promote their own event, apparently).
Well, the seeds are up and available for your downloading pleasure. Get them here.

Dear Amazon,
Fix this:
$0.99 x 10 < $9.99. I know it’s less than a dime, but come on. How hard is it to write a check for this?

Guy Adams from The Independent tracks down Eminem (aka Marshall Mathers). A classic rise and fall story, but one that needs one more chapter. Come back, Slim, if not for yourself, then for Detroit. Lord knows that city needs a voice again.

I fell out of Metallica’s sway a while ago, giving up around Garage, Inc. But, as I09 said in their post today, “I am officially in love with Metallica again.” Well, at least for today.
This video is fantastic. Listening to the song without the video, it’s still a pretty decent song, but the video brings it to a entirely different, and better, level. It’s an alternate history, zombie, Cold War, sci-fi tour de force.
As with most Metallica, crank it up.

Dear Amazon.com’s MP3 Download Store,
Look, I really, really like you. I do; you’re great, sweetheart. No DRM. Quick downloads. You’re the cat’s meow.
But, can we talk about your title naming convention? I know that getting Led Zeppelin IV for $2 is a total steal (aside: it seriously is right now). But why, why baby, do you put that insipid adendum “(Album Version)” on so many damn tracks. I mean, thank god IV is only 8 tracks long, because I have to remove that crap. And I love buying MP3s from you. Which means I have to do that a lot.
Every purchase requires me to fix your damn title naming convention. I’m afraid if you order the lobster, I’ll have to remind you not to eat the shells, honey.
Ok, that was cruel. I think I’m In Like with you. But, if you could see through to stop tagging “(Album Version)” onto so many tracks, Sugar, this could be love.
Thanks. How about knocking me a kiss, eh?
