Tech: iTunes Genius bar does wonders…
I was dubious about trying out the new iTunes 8 feature, because I have tried music recommending programs and they have rarely worked. They were kind of like: If you like Mariah, try Whitney. That was too basic for me and I wanted each track to be separate from the other. This genius bar on iTunes works perfectly and has filled most of he missing holes in my library. It works by tracks and gives great recommendations. It is works by accumulating the databases of its customers to generate accurate results. Try it.

The end of conservatism…

In the course of humanity, there has always been a struggle between regression and progression. With the latter being the only way all of humanity can prosper and the former being the scapegoat for the containment of wealth and any other advancements for the groups who have them.

I have to say that this is the first time one of the first times that the Grey’s Anatomy people got it before me. But I was hesitant to pick the CD up because I had ordered a similar act’s (David Jordan) album but didn’t really get into. Anyway, watching the video now I am impressed by the song and him. Ease on down the eyes.
Amy Winehouse heads to rehab…

She stopped saying no. She is finally going to rehab, again. She looks different every time a picture is published of her. This one is no exception. I just look at all the missed opportunities that she had: working again with Mark Ronson, doing the James Bond theme song, doing a better tour and the list goes on. That’s got to take a toll on her career, especially that now everyone has revisited her genre – Adele, Duffy, Beth Rowley, Vassy. She reigns supreme, though. I hope it works this time.
