Go Army, Get iTunes

Umm, if you really, really, want some free music from iTunes, you can choose to be, “contacted by a recruiter” for the Army National Guard. Yikes. [link, Largeheartedboy]

Sabertooth Tiger Video

Check out this new video; Sabertooth Tiger - Argentina in the Buzzgrinder Video Lounge. It’s no “George Bush don’t like Black people” or whatever, but still pretty good, right?! Hah.

Calm down Militia Group:

Cartel’s Chroma sells nearly 3,000 copies in its first week, making Chroma The Militia Group’s most successful new artist debut to date.

Steel Maverick


I got an email from Adam Moore (Foxhole) letting me know.. “80s legend EDDIE DARKSBANE is back — bigger, badder, and more brazen than ever before!” Check out Steel Maverick on Myspace and laugh, laugh, laugh.

Clap Your Hands Say Yea Sell Big With No Label?

Who needs label support?

Clap (Your Hands Say Yea)- based in Brooklyn and Philadelphia - have already sold nearly 17,000 copies of their self-released debut, all thanks to word-of-mouth. And while major-label artists make only about a buck a record, the Clap guys are making a whopping eight dollars per disc - putting their take so far at more than $130,000. Not too shabby for an album recorded for less than ten grand and distributed by the band itself via countless trips to the post office.
