Band ID
Yesterday saw the launch of Band ID! Read on to find out more!
"Yestersay saw the launch of band-id.co.uk, a new way for musicians to distribute and sell their music online. The BAND-ID music download card is a collectable, full colour plastic card printed with the artist’s specific artwork and details such as web address or email address. At the back of the card is a scratch panel, which conceals a unique PIN code. The artists’ fans use this code to download their digital music from the secure website."
Sounds pretty interesting right?
We Bought A Zoo
20th Century Fox has bought the rights to Benjamin Mee's Memoir We Bought A Zoo. The story is about how Mee and his family buying a run-down zoo in Dartmoor in 2006.
Buying and ruuning a Zoo would be amazing and I think the film has a lot of potential.
What do you think?

I ask for a round two against the pills! I liked how the pill ladies are on screen during the bridge portion of the song. I guess nothing can stop us music lovers from hearing music. :) [view article]

Thanks for sharing! I really like the use of the tom toms and the harmonics on the guitar. Nice touches. It adds more dimension when appropriate. [view article]
