New Mitch Hedberg Album Released Today

Today, Comedy Central released a posthumous album from the great comedian Mitch Hedberg. It's called "Do You Believe In Gosh?"

They have it over at AmazonMP3

Bonus Spoon

I downloaded Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga from eMusic, as I have done for every other Spoon album. Recently I noticed that iTunes has a bonus track that you will receive if you download the full album from them. I don't see why iTunes users should get an extra special bonus track, and those of us who purchased the album from a different source should get the shaft. Google searches were turning up nothing until I finally found it at BalanceMyBrain

I want to share it as well, because I don't want anyone to feel left out.

Musics

I'm always telling people to join emusic because it is a great deal and you will discover lesser known artists that are really good.

I just downloaded Robbers & Cowards by Cold War Kids and they have a really cool sound. Click on this link to their album on emusic. Sign up and we will both get 50 free downloads.

You may have heard their single Hang me up to Dry on the radio. Here is an MP3 of Hospital Beds. Check it out! I am a sucker for rock music with piano i guess.

Here is a little list of other excellent bands that I've purchased music from on emusic:

• Badly Drawn Boy
• Creedence Clearwater Revival
• Elliot Smith
• Guster
• Interpol
• Moby
• Modest Mouse
• Moe.
• Slightly Stoopid
• Spoon
• The Black Keys
• The Decemberists
• The White Stripes

I want to go to


Download Festival 2007 with Modest Mouse, Guster, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Neko Case, Wolf Parade, Band of Horses and more! The show takes place at the tweeter center in Mansfield, MA.

Create your own Ringtones

This works great for my Samsung SCH-A950 phone, but I think it would work for lots of others as well. You can take any mp3 file, and turn it into a ringtone.


You just need the following programs installed...
-iTunes (you should have that anyway) download
-Qualcomm PureVoice 3.1 for Windows download

Itunes>Settings>Advanced>importing>
Change the setting to wav 8-bit, Mono.
Then you can use itunes to convert the mp3 to an 8-bit, Mono, wav file by right clicking it.

The Qualcomm software is a little harder to use. Follow their instructions to convert the wav file to a QCP file. This QCP file is a valid ringtone format for many phones. Just move it to the phone somehow (I use my TransFlash memory card) and select it as your ringtone for one contact or for all.

Don't pay for ringtones when you can make them yourself. Comment if you have any questions.
