Amazon Drops Kindle 2's Price, Still Expensive

We got a Kindle2 for my wife last month. She’s using it like crazy. I’m not as hot on it. I think the user interface is still clunky, though improved over version 1. Until the UI improves and you can do some sort of book sharing within a family (like the way iTunes supports song sharing limited to 5 computers), so that there would be a reason to have 2 or more Kindles in a house, I don’t think it’s going to take off for Amazon.

The Dodos - Fables (Taken from Time to Die out September 15th)

A SF three piece… they sound like a more upbeat Fleet Foxes. Also, if you like Vetiver, you should like this bands sound.

Looking forward the this new Dodos release. Visiter was one of my favorites from last year.

Not a good day to be a Reds fan. It’s the worst loss in the 141-year history of the team.
Yep. That was brutal. Paul Janish, the backup shortstop that pitched the 8th for the Reds, now has an ERA of 45.6 for the year in 2 appearances. Nice to see they bounced back Tuesday night with a 4-3 win.

Wild Wild Life - Of Montreal (Live) (original by Talking Heads)

The audio is a bit rough, but I thought this was a great cover for the holiday weekend. Enjoy everyone.

Strictly Game - Harlem Shakes

Genius video. It’s a take off on the typical YouTube fan videos. Take a close look. Those aren’t really still photos, they are holding poses.

Rural Alberta Advantage - “Frank, AB”

Thanks goes out to My Old Kentucky Blog for giving this Canadian band a showcase last weekend. Rural Alberta Advantage kindly drove down to Indianapolis from Toronto to pay us a visit, and of course their first full-length album Hometowns sounds magnificent live. Don’t Haunt This Place is a track making its rounds, but don’t miss out on all the other nostalgic gems. RAA is solid, not just blog hype, and they’ve been making good tunes for a few years.

RAA FTW!

File under great guitar lines of all time.

It’s been too long since I heard this one.
