• Top Ten Metal Albums of 2008

  In a year worthy of your rage, metal delivered in spades. What with the economy circling the drain and Sarah Palin coming down from the tundra and then refusing to go back, 2008's been the kind of year that really makes you want to smash your head into walls or punch random strangers in the face. Good thing there were so many awesome records available to serve as a soundtrack for exactly that kind of behavior. The ten discs below are just the tip of a very big, very heavy iceberg. Metal seems t

• Coyne on The Contender, Week 6

  Finally!Last night's "Contender" featured a great match-up, a more technically attractive bout than any before, and a hot-damn-holy-SHIT-he's-DOWN knock-out.Here's the deal: With three fights left in Round 1, the gold team was ahead, 3-2, going into this episode. Our town's Ryan Coyne, of the blue team, was looking hungry, with his head shaved and chops yammering. We finally saw some of Singapore, when they brought in a foot reflexologist to help the guys unwind. Grown men getting tickled by an

• Stream, Buy and Download a New Ring, Cicada Album, History's End!

  Here's something I never expected to see: Semi-dormant post-rockers Ring, Cicada have finally put their new album, History's End, up for download right over here. You can stream the entire LP at that link (and below), although the band is dropping some NIN-style science on anyone who ponies up $10 for actual files. For starters, you can choose to download History in formats such as AAC, FLAC Lossless, Apple iPod, high-quality MP3 and OGG Vorbis -- while the band says, "If you buy here, you are g

• Rave On! (Silently) at Union Station on Saturday, February 28

  Wikimedia CommonsRaving it up old-school.Some old folks who have vivid memories of the nineties may think that 4:30 in the afternoon is a little early to start raving, and Union Station is kind of a strange locale when there are so many abandoned warehouses in St. Louis, but those folks are just showing their age.It's a whole new world now. Saturday's rave will be bereft of Ecstacy and, most significantly, never-ending techno jams. Instead, the ravers will plug into their iPods and dance in sile

• Ten Tech Releases to Look for this Fall

  Photo by Marcin Wichary via Flickr​It's August. The economy is bad. Things are slow, but technology marches on. In spite of the global economic slowdown, there will still be plenty of new high-tech products to look forward to this fall. A lot of them will actually be cheaper (even Apple has lowered its prices) and a few things will actually be free, like the some of the new Google products. Here are ten things to look forward over the next few months:Google VoiceDid you get your invite yet? Se

• Revolution 9.9.9: Will New Media Formats Bring the LP and The Beatles into Digital Age?

  Photo by Crabchick via Flickr​Record companies have been dragged kicking and screaming by consumers (and Apple) into the digital age in the last ten years. And predictions are that 2010 will mark a tipping point where music purchased digitally via download will account for more than half of all music purchased. The industry seems to have adjusted to the new reality as revenues from downloads have started to make up for lost CD sales. But, as many have observed, the new reality seems to have ma

• 9.9.09 Beatles or Not? Apple's Big Announcement is Today

  ​Today is the day when we find out if my prediction that Apple will be the first to release digital versions of the Beatles catalog at the "iPod event" comes true. I'm sort of leaning against my prediction since Apple named the event for a Rolling Stones song; "It's Only Rock'n'Roll" Whether or not Apple has Beatles news today, it's likely the iPod announcement will be good news for fans of the media players. Some have noticed that prices for all current versions of the iPod have bee
