Vinyl May Be Final Nail in CD's Coffin
As counterintuitive as it may seem in this age of iPods and digital downloads, vinyl -- the favorite physical format of indie music collectors and audiophiles -- is poised to re-enter the mainstream, or at least become a major tributary.
Talk to almost anyone in the music business' vital indie and DJ scenes and you'll encounter a uniformly optimistic picture of the vinyl market.
"I'm hearing from labels and distributors that vinyl is way up," said Ian Connelly, client relations manager of independent distributor alliance IODA, in an e-mail interview. "And not just the boutique, limited-edition colored vinyl that Jesu/Isis-style fans are hot for right now."

Top 10 live music venues in Madrid
The Spanish capital has grown up and become one of Europe's leading live music destinations, says Anthony Ham.
In the 1980s, with Spain shaking off the shackles of almost four decades of dictatorship, Madrid embraced its freedom with all the undiscerning zeal of an ex-convent schoolgirl. It was wild and chaotic and quickly burned itself out. The Spanish capital has grown up and become sophisticated since then, and Madrid is now one of Europe's leading live music destinations. Jazz is all the rage, joining home-grown flamenco and the pick of the rockeros who survived the 1980s by playing intimate venues with a quintessentially Madrid atmosphere.

mixtape 001 - DNA Lounge
I've tested it in iTunes and it seems to work fine (e.g., you'll see the song titles as the songs change) but I would be interested to know if that's all working sensibly in things that are not iTunes.

Die Zaubersteuer [mp3]
Hi, leider gibt es im Augenblick mal wieder keine mp3s. Einige Kollegen haben ziemlich viel Geld an die GEMA zahlen müssen, weil sie ihre eigenen Songs kostenlos auf ihrer Seite angeboten haben und man das nicht darf. Schwer zu verstehen, ist aber so. Jetzt gibt es ein neues Angebot von der GEMA, das Komponisten erlaubt, ihre eigenen Sachen kostenlos ins Netz zu stellen.

The Ramontures - Surf cover versions of Ramone songs
The Ramonetures are the brainchild of Phantom Surfers guitar genius Mel Bergman. On this, their debut album, the band takes on the task of reinventing 16 classic Ramones tunes - in a style that would have done the Ventures proud! In other words, it's all instrumental, baby! And with fuzz guitar legend Davie Allan along for the ride, it's like a wild chopper ride through the surf of Rockaway Beach. Incredible...and a must for any Ramones fan!
