New Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse album that has an interesting backstory to it. Basically he's in a dispute with the record EMI and if the album is released there's legal implications. So it's being sold it as a blank CD-R with a book of photos by David Lynch. Leaving it to you to acquire and burn the music through other avenues. It's good, search around and you'll find it.

THRU YOU | Kutiman mixes YouTube
Can't really begin to explain how awesome this is. Essentially it's a collection of songs (videos) that are created from mashing up various other musical youtube videos. (via Made by Robot)

Pronto
Today marks the release of Pronto - All is Golden. Pronto is the side project of Wilco keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen. Don’t let the Wilco association give you preconceived notions of the sound of the record. It’s less of the Wilco alt-country sound and more of a grass roots Americana sound. I’ve heard some refer to it as AM Radio rock. I’m not exactly sure what that is (I hear the older folks used to listen to it), but what I do know is that it sounds damn good and you should pick yourself up a copy at the the Contraphonic web store, iTunes or Amazon.
In addition to the new album, today also marks the launch of the new Pronto site. I assisted in the XHTML/CSS development and Wordpress implementation. Visit today to find out the latest band news, tour dates and sign up for their newsletter. They’re also on that hip new thing called Twitter, so you can follow them there as well.
Full Disclosure: The exceptional drummer of Pronto, Mr. Greg O’Keeffe, is not only a friend of mine, but also my employer. While that may insinuate some bias in my opinion of the album, it doesn’t. I’d just as openly let him know that it sucks if I thought it did… right after my yearly review.

John Mayer : Atlantic City 2008
I took the wife to see John Mayer at the Borgata in Atlantic City last night. While I did go into it hesitantly, I will admit it was a great show (Our great position in front of the stage didn’t hurt either). He’s a tremendous guitar player and when you take his studio albums combined with his live performances he reminds you very much of a modern day Clapton.
