Incredible Music – For Free!

talain

I’d be deceiving you if I didn’t share my bias for Talain Rayne.  Talain and I are friends.  Last year, we met up in Lancaster, we drank some delicious chai, and he asked me if I would be his manager.  Unfortunately, I was not taking any artists in my lineup, as I was moving to New York.  Otherwise, I would have signed Talain in a second!  So, my only bias is that we are friends from the same school. Beyond that, all that you need to know is that Talain is making fantastic music and giving away his debut album for free.  If I were to write a review, it would say,

Talain’s music makes you want to get up and dance, yet there is incredible depth behind his lyrics. The sounds are infectious and should be featured on the next iPod commercial.

or…

If Coldplay went indie instead of mainstream, this is what it would sound like.

That is, if they are still making iPod commercials.  They meaning Steve Jobs.

Anyways, you can hear my favorite song (“Dear Sister, Your Brother”) from Attic Lights below, or you can download the ENTIRE album for free.  Yup. 11 tracks. Free.  Just enter your email and postal code in the second widget below (and don’t worry, you aren’t going to get a bunch of “come to my concert” spam). No catch.

Enjoy my friends.



In a World That Doesn’t, Droid Doesn’t Really Either…

droid-vs-iphone1Ok. I posted the title of this post as a status update and got some defenses from the Droid users out there.  I make no bones about it that I think the iPhone is completely superior and that I am likely going to write in Steve Jobs for president of the U.S.A. in 2012 (that’s a joke…please don’t email me about the importance of voting in an election).

Here are 8 reasons why the iPhone is a better phone than the Droid:

1.) The iPhone has 10X as many useful apps (They are also leading the way with free applications).

2.) The iPhone has a built in iPod on your phone, which is by far the best .mp3 interface.

3.) The iPhone has a better design.

4.) The iPhone has a better touch screen.  It is much more intuitive, with features like the double-tap-to-zoom feature.

5.) The iPhone has better searches throughout the phone.  Just go to search, and it searches contacts, emails, documents, etc.

6.) The iPhone has a camera with more features, as well as better apps for quick editing of photos.

7.) The iPhone has a better navigation (GPS) system.

8.) The iPhone has a better e-reader experience, including the availability of the Kindle, with every book you want at an instant download (and ridiculously cheap or free).

What makes you Droid users excited about that phone?
