Tommy hated Luke, he hated him a lot. He hated Luke from the day Tommy’s family moved next door to Luke’s. They were the same age and about to start kindergarten when they met.

In the latest Rolling Stone, Vanessa Grigoriadis notes that aside from Willie Nelson’s project with Asleep at the Wheel, he has another album slated for early ‘09 titled Naked Willie. It’ll be produced by his harmonica player, Mickey Raphael, and consist of his RCA recordings from 1966 to 1970, without the strings and schmaltz. “For the album cover,” says Raphael, “Willie took a picture of himself with his iPhone while he was in the bubble bath, and sent it to me.” (via Still Is Still Moving) JThe CD Is Dead (But Will Live For Decades)
The fate of the CD has been a hot topic the past few weeks as a new report by Gartner (a research firm) claimed that Christmas 2008 would be the last Christmas for the CD. Coolfer disagrees, saying that the CD will live on for some time yet, pointing out that the CD still accounts for 80% of recorded music revenue. So what’s the deal here? Is the CD dead? Is it healthy? Both are true. The CD is already dead but it will continue to live on (and thrive) for decades to come. Here is wDeepspace5 - Gloria
