WORD?!?!


  • Napster offers a $5 subscription fee. Trying to compete with other sites, like emusic.com, that charge you a monthly fee and let you keep the music you download even after your subscription expires, Napster is offering you five songs per month with essentially no DRM with the $5 subscription fee. If you would like to read more about it, go to pollstar.com or napster.com.
  • According to several sources, Radiohead are currently recording a new album with producer Nigel Godrich. Don’t know about you, but I’m excited. I’ll post to the blog as I hear more about it.
  • Congratulations to all the USC students that graduated this weekend!
