The Hype Machine, one of the best music discovery/search engines/players on the web, is launching a new version. But not until they get 10,000 people to open the preview page. So go, open it up! Yeah, it’s a promo tool, but Hype Machine is worth it.
Okay, guys, now that I’ve seen the second episode of Pushing Daisies, it’s moved up to the “LOVE/ADDICTED/OBSESSED” category on my TV breakdown. Easily the best of the new shows. In fact, it’s been ages since I’ve been this delighted by a show.
