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?

Nirvana, mainly because they were over and done with before I was musically conscious so Dave Grohl couldn't ruin them for me by how intrinsically annoying he is. [view article]

We are including all his musical directions in the debate, which is why we're discussing whether he was better in Foo Fighters or Probot also. Facts are he is a better drummer than he is a guitarist or vocalist, and as we're debating which band he was best in rather than which band he made the best, he thus performed better in Nirvana and QOTSA. To repeat what some of the others have said, he's been good in Foos and had a lot of fame, but hasn't been nearly as influential or impressive as in the bands beforehand. [view article]

Sure, but since Grohl has played his hand at many different musical directions its important to include all of them in this debate in order to find out when he was at his best. Otherwise It'd be a debate about when he was the best drummer... For the record, I do think he's a really good drummer. But doesn't it take a little something away from QOTSA as a band and Grohl himself, if were just going to consider his one off involvement with the group as his crowning moment? I've always been a fan of that band, way before Grohl ever did SFTD with them and though he was a great addition, it's not like the album was carried on his drumming alone. QOTSA are an awesome band regardless of whether Grohl played with them or not. [view article]
