Radiohead Internet Drama
Read all about it @ Rawkblog.
I’m a huge Radiohead fan, but I’m tired of their games, to be honest. But like I said before… as long as they keep leaking new music, I can’t really complain.

Help Me Buy A Laptop!
Hello guys.
If you follow me on Twitter, or read this blog post, you might know that my laptop, iPod, and luggage was stolen from my car while on a trip. If you live off your laptop like I do, you will know how devastating an experience like this is! Luckily, I do have a backup waiting for me thanks to Backblaze. I’m just waiting on a new laptop!
A new laptop, as you know, is an expensive endeavor — especially when it comes as an unexpected purchase. This is why I’m turning to anyone who is willing to help. The way I see it, if I don’t have a usable laptop (I’m using an extremely old, extremely slow, almost useless laptop right now), I can’t really update Pretty Much Amazing. I’m hoping this worries you as much as it worries me. So all I’m asking for is a small donation of one, two, five dollars to help keep PMA alive and well. The more the merrier, of course. 
Though it will probably not be enough to buy the entire laptop, if enough of you donate, it will soften the blow to my checking account.

Just Wondering
Also, someone stole my laptop on a trip (along with my iPod, clothes, shoes and other personal items), so boo on you whoever did that. While I do have a backup laptop, it’s not entirely equipped for the job. So we’ll see how that affects posting.
Oh and it seems that this last weekend was particularly busy in terms of new music poppin’ up. So I am going to have to get cracking on those all morning. For now, here are a handful of tunes I have been planning on sharing. But because I’m so behind (and particularly busy in my personal life), I’m just going to give them all to you now. No strings, except for the invisible ones that permeate throughout the PMA infrastructure. Anywho… go and get ‘em! Continue reading →

RIP: Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson. August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009
The passing of the definitive music legend will always be a sad day in music’s history. Throw on Thriller or HIStory and never forget the great man and great artist that Michael Jackson was.
