If you have an Android phone, get ready for DEALS DEALS DEALS!
Suddenly, Google not charging for Android makes a whole lot of sense.

RIP Eyedea
He was 28. No explanation for his death has been announced, but Eyedea & Abilities were pretty damn good. http://blogs.citypages.com/gimmenoise/2010/10/eyedea_dead_at.php
The Beastie Boys "Hot Sauce Committee Pt 2" will be out in spring 2011. Yes, I said part 2. Sweeeeeeeeeeeet.
In an email at 3am this morning, the Beastie Boys sent out an email with two pieces of information.
First, the new album is out next spring, as originally planned - which is an interesting point for them to make.
The other bit of news, which is somehow not too shocking, is that "Hot Sauce Committee Pt 1" has been shelved indefinitely. But what about that Nas collaboration, and the other preview the Boys dropped on Record Store Day? Um, can you say deluxe reissue in 2031?

"Hurley" sucks, and that rarities album on the way is worthless. This is Weezer, and they'll never be this good again.
I just had a moment when I listened to "Tragic Girl." From the pacing of the song, to the background vocals, to the lack of irony in Rivers Cuomo's voice - this is what makes the Blue album and Pinkerton perfect albums.
Back before he was trying to write hit songs, Cuomo wrote songs that meant something to him. Instead of being Katy Perry bouncing to "California Girls," he was, you know, an actual songwriter.
In an interview about the Pinkerton deluxe reissue (due out on election day, November 2), the nerdy douche called this "You Know You're Right" for Weezer fans. This song pulls back some of the embarrassment I feel when I say I was ever a fan. Boom.
