More sweet goodness...

Alright, so Hanson's new CD comes out today. I decided to order it online from Walmart.com for 9 bucks plus S+H. Because I'm sort of in a Hanson obsession mode right now, and although I am normally more selective about what CD's I actually pay for, I think they deserve my money for sticking it to the Man.

They used to be on the Island Def Jam label, but when they submitted 80 songs to the executives of the label, the execs told them they didn't have a CD's worth of good material. Of course, they were devastated, so Hanson then decided to create their own mini production company. I hope they make millions on this new album just so the Island Def Jam execs can suck it, and I'm willing to contribute to the cause. So far its gotten pretty decent reviews.

On another related note, I also want to bring to your attention one of my favorite websites: RollingStone.com I LOVE this site. It's one of the only magazine sites that you can access without a subscription to the magazine, and they really give you access to everything.

This week they have a story about the 50 greatest musicians of all time with essays about each great artist written by other great musicians like Billy Joel on Elton John and Chris Martin from Coldplay writing about U2. They usually have pretty interesting features like this (if you find this interesting, like I do). Some of the bios are funny( like Little Richard by Little Richard), some are vaguely touching (James Taylor on Simon and Garfunkel), and some make me glad that I went to college so I don't sound as dumb as Britney Spears writing about Madonna.

Oh and Rolling Stone is one of only a few good magazines that still has a lifetime subscription. It's only 99 bucks and you get the magazine for life! If I live until I'm 80 and get the lifetime subscription now, thats 1508 issues so it works out to about 6.5 cents per issue. And if you work in inflation and all that jazz, well its just a damn good deal!

That's all for now.
