The cover is featured on rap/spoken-word artist Saul Williams' new album, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust. You can listen to his cover of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" on his Myspace.

If you like what you hear, you can purchase his album for $5 or free of charge (your choice) on the NiggyTardust website. This is good stuff! Enjoy!

In a very unexpected move, Radiohead has just announced that their forthcoming album titled In Rainbows is coming out in 10 days. This is madness, but no, this is not Sparta. Find out more about this exciting announcement under the cut!

Well, actually it is. That's just the name of a They Might Be Giants song I like a lot. I got some cool new cds for my 18th birthday: Dinosaur Jr.'s Beyond, Rufus Wainwright's Release the Stars, and Frank Zappa's Lather, a compilation the man put together himself before he died. One of my good friends got me a very sweet Led Zeppelin movie poster for my dorm next year.

The two biggest presents were concert tickets for two shows. I'm going to see The Polyphonic Spree in Boston at the Avalon on July 2nd and Rufus Wainwright at the same place on August 21st. I'd like to thank my mom and Dr. Rock'n'Roll for making this all happen.
