Videos showing BlackBerry ‘death grip’ removed from YouTube | The Loop

nerdcast:

lkm:

Most likely explanation is that RIM had them taken down. You can say a of things about Apple, but at least they only censor their own forums.

HA!

lets call a spade a spade here… this is for a product that has not been released. If it really is a problem, then maybe they are working on it BEFORE putting it out, OR maybe it isn’t a problem, and since it isn’t verified by many people actually using the device and reporting these problems, the video demo is misleading. It may not be the same type of problem. The bottom-line is that Apple launched a phone to market that had a major flaw, and as of yet, BlackBerry hasn’t.

ps - excuse the non music post here, but no-one talks smack about my beloved BB !

Everything Everything, "Schoolin" (Games Remix) MP3

I absolutely love this band - their sound, and specifically the singer’s voice is really unique. So far everything I’ve heard from them is a big winner. The worst thing about them is their name which is very difficult to search for, but that’s about my only complaint.

Best New Zone

pitchforkreviewsreviews:

from altered zones:

okay now i’m gonna transcribe a paragraph from the bottom of page 103 of pitchfork editor scott plagenhoef’s book entitled If You’re Feeling Sinister about the Belle and Sebastian book of the same title:

“… So why did that happen? Short answer: the internet. The Sinister list (a Belle and Sebastian fan community) and its “down the pub” feel have been almost shoved aside by the nastiness of message boards, the almost wordlessness of many mp3 blogs, and the hyperbolic enthusiasm-as-criticism of much of online journalism. “The Shins could change your life” became not just a much-derided line in a film but was held up by one blogger as indicative of the sort of sensationalism and breathlessness that passes for music writing.”

thx tumblinerb/rakimtwins

oh my godddddddughga;sdogqerigqd;qh1’312’r5

Are these writers actually listening to the music? Do they even LIKE the music, or are they just trying to appear open-minded for the sake of credibility? Do they even like MUSIC, AT ALL ???? It’s like, you can’t be fucking serious… these indie bloggers out there writing for the predictable sites get SOOOO entrenched in their bullshit music “journalism”, jerking off to their thesaurus, completely talking out of their ASS, especially when reviewing shitty, sub-par music. That last line is just so killer, SOMETHING TRULY INNOVATIVE - BEING THEMSELF…. Well I am fucking overwhelmed. Someone give this man an award for excellence in creative reviewing. 

Stop covering bad music, and stop writing like a fucking jerk-off. Stop being such nerds !!!

On being a groupie.

dearcoketalk:

So I know it sounds bad to say this, but my friend is a big groupie of this band. Like goes to all their shows in a reasonable distance, has plenty of their; tees, posters,etc., she even hooks up with one of them, I would call her obsesed! She convinced me to go with her to see them.

With a weird turn of events, I ended up hooking up with one of them. I dont obsess and I dont even take plesure listening to there music. The guy and I just ended up clicking and I just wanted to have some fun. But does this make me a groupie too?


Don’t worry, you’re not a groupie. You’re a stupid whore.

I’m totally kidding. You’re not a whore.

Seriously though, learn the difference between their and there. While you’re at it, pay attention to your punctuation, use your fucking spell check, and try writing sentences with both a subject and a predicate.

I know, you’re a teenage girl. You’ve got better things to do than write above a third grade level, but trust me on this, your communication skills are a vital component to your interpersonal relationships.

Learn to string a few words together. Show some respect for your language. You never know, babe. Maybe one day instead of blowing the bass player, you could be the lead singer.

(Oh, and quit being so worried about being labeled a groupie. Instead, develop excellent taste in music, be passionate about artists who deserve your attention, and fuck who you want to fuck.)

hahahahahaha x 1000000

let me tell you - if there’s one thing girls are afraid of, it’s being labeled a groupie. Nevermind that the girls that fear it the most are the most stereotypical groupies of them all. I’m not exactly sure where this fear comes from, but I see it time and time again. They’ll repeat it religiously, “We’re not groupies or anything….” It’s like one of those things girls have to say to convince themselves of it, but trust me, thats the only person they’re fooling.

Here’s the deal - if you go to a show and end up hanging with the band before or afterwards, then you’re a groupie. You may not be one the next day or the day after, but in that moment you are. Even if you don’t have sex with them.

New Order’s “Your Silent Face”

When the synth comes in at 0:16 it just about makes my heart explode.  What a gorgeous song.  New Order really humanized electronic dance music better than most anyone else.

well said.

“You’ve caught me at a bad time… so why don’t you piss off…”

Stream Mystery Jets new album, “Serotonin”

as usual, I’m giving love to another one of my favorites, Mystery Jets. They have a new record out on Rough Trade, available now in the UK and next week here in the US. These guys are a fairly eclectic bunch with great songs and versatile sound, you never quite know exactly what you’ll get. Truth be told I haven’t even checked out these songs yet, but I’m quite confident that I’ll be loving them as soon as I do.
