music —
I woke up to this news today: apparently a software bug in Microsoft’s Zune players has caused these MP3 players to stop working.
Here’s one explanation from the Zuneboards forum:

Eraserheads perform ‘Alapaap’
More vids found here with additional thoughts from Raimund Marasigan.
News from Soundtrip:

I love the Blues. Thanks to Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Freddie King, and other countless guitar slingers, I’ve been addicted to the Blues. So when I picked up John Mayer’s new album, Continuum, I was surprised to find blues [...]
Type an artist that you want to listen to, say, Joe Satriani. Pandora finds this artist, creates a personalized radio station and starts playing it (Thanks En for sharing this online find ;-)).
