New iTunes 7.1 Features Full Screen CoverFlow

Christmas came late (or reaaaaly early?) for us Mac users who have their systems set-up to automatically detect updates -- a new version of iTunes came down the ol' digital chimney the other day that allows for FULL SCREEN CoverFlow. Simply click the new icon that has appeared to the right of the CoverFlow control bar and the scroller goes full screen with your album artwork becoming larger than the average size CD (think about as big as a 45 RPM record sleeve). It's nice to see that somebody still cares about album artwork in the age of digital downloads and dwindling record sales.

US Government Condemns Real Country's Former Actions Against Fake Person From Different Country

In what's sure to come out as a preparatory move for the planned sequel the State Department has issued their annual human rights abuses report, and have taken the bold steps to condemn the actions of the Kazakhstani government against their most famous "citizen", Borat. The report states that the government has become increasingly restrictive on free speech, and uses the loss of http://www.borat.kz/ in 2005 as one of its prime examples.

The long standing oppression of Borat by the Kazakh government will not be unavenged by the US, who have vowed that they will not stop until every single Kazakhstani man, woman, and child has heard "Very nice!" screamed by a drunken frat boy at least 200 times, bringing them up to the level of first-world Borat over saturation.

It's Just A Flesh Wound

In an attempt to become the 'Black Knight' of the underground hip-hop game, Definitive Jux rhyme-smith Aesop Rock has released the title track from his forthcoming release "None Shall Pass" (due out "early 2007"). The track shows up on the new Def Jux compilation "Definitive Swim" (a collaboration between Definitive Jux and Adult Swim). We're not sure if brother Aesop has been turning to the classic 1975 comedy "Monty Python And The Holy Grail" for lyrical inspiration, but we do know that the new album features John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats -- and that movie had at least, like, one or two goats in it (not to mention a killer rabbit and invisible horses), so they're totally related.

Guess You're Stuck With Hearing Common People On Your iPod

Here's your dreams for a Pulp reunion. Here's Jarvis Cocker smashing those dreams into a million pieces or...making a catchy statement for rhetorical effect just so NME will cover it. Here's me having his babies anyway. Don't hate.
