Mr. Big - Shine (Acoustic) Of course I’m a fan of the original edition of the band, but you have to admit Richie Kotzen pens some fantastic tunes. Shine off their 2001 album Actual Size in particular compares favourably to anything else they have in their canon, and this acoustic version is even better than the studio album track. |
Sony Ericsson Jalou
Designed by D&G, allegedly. Is it just me or is it one fugly phone?
Update: oops, it just comes in regular and D&G editions.
Thunderbird 3.0
Looks great, performs better. Best feature: super-powered search. Next best feature: global inbox.
Lightning doesn’t yet work on it though, so I can’t move my main work machine to it. At least Enigmail’s OK. Can’t wait…
Update: broke down and installed TBird 3.0 with the Lightning nightlies. Working OK so far.
Happy Birthday Jimi!
RahXephon — Winning Sound Of Her
Cosmic Drum and Bass, as I like to call it.
Ayreon — Temple of the Cat
The acoustic version with Astrid van der Veen could possibly be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard.
Devin Townsend — Addicted Teaser
The second album in his four album Devin Townsend Project cycle.
It is said to be “commercial, yet heavyâ€. I’m not sure about that, but I do know the teaser sounds phenomenal.
Guilt Machine — Green And Cream
Off Guilt Machine’s brilliant debut album On This Perfect Day. Likely to be one of the best albums of 2009. The album artwork and lyrics for this song is kindly published on the web.
Guilt Machine is the new side project by Ayreon mastermind Arjen A. Lucassen.
The Eagle Has Landed
40 years on, and the moon landings still fascinate and inspire, still remain unsurpassed by any subsequent human exploration, still ring with the resonance of legend.
Happy 40th, Apollo 11.
