Three things today

First updating you on the Hoyts. The completed the marathon yesterday
With a time of 3:43:27 and they finished 9526th. Amazing.

second:
Congrats to the Flaming Lips for having their album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots be their first and only album so far to be certified gold in American (500K units). Keeping up with the trend the Current LP At War With The Mystics was released last week to global critical praise, landing their highest U.S. chart debut of their 23 year history, entering at #11 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart. Get both, you can thank me later.

Finally:
I was reading an issue of Newsweek and there was a section on what is next for the world wide web (you know after you tube and flickr etc).

They mentioned this music service called La La (no link) and here is what it said (in a nutshell).

Take myspace social network, slice of iTunes and 1/2 a cup of netflix, blend it together in a stock rich with vintage Napster peer to peer sharing. The result is la la a music-discovery site that lets you find new music and connect with people who share your taste. Then you ask them to send you their used cds, a gift that costs you only a dollar each. You qualify for that bargain by sending one of YOUR cds to someone else (la la provides you with shipping materials). It goes on to say after you rip you remove from iTunes since you 'don't own the cd anymore etc. La La kicks 20% back to the artist as well.

Its invite only right now..anyone know a link or anything to check out? More curious than anything. If you can..INVITE ME!!
