Songbird? Songbird!

Get Songbird

Warning! Geek post! Yup, I am proud. No idea who wrote this.

An introduction to Songbird

What? Songbird is a desktop Web player, a digital jukebox and Web browser mash-up. Like Winamp, it supports extensions and skins feathers. Like Firefox, it is built from Mozilla, cross-platform and open source. Keep reading for the Why and How.

Why? Well, why not. If you spend a fair bit of time surfing the web for music, Songbird could be your new best friend. It makes browsing sites like the Live Music Blog, Nugs and Here comes the flood, that much more enjoyable.

Songbird in action

Works like a charm, which is amazing considering it's a 0.2 release. It's free for Windows, Mac and Linux. We are talking serious goodness here.

Meet The Smithereens!

From the aquarium drunkard blog:

Meet The Smithereens!
'80s college rock scenesters, The Smithereens, have recently unveiled news that they will be releasing a full album tribute to The Beatles Meet The Beatles! album appropriately entitled Meet The Smithereens! The tribute album is said to drop in January of 2007; the same month as the original Beatles release in 1964.

Guess who will make some out of this ... yup, Michael Jackson, who still owns the copyrights to the bulk of the Fab Four's output.
