I really need to start doing this feature in a more timely manner. Maybe have some other posts too. Yeah, that would be nice.

The album of the month for March 2006:
Band of Horses – Everything All the Time

Band of Horses is a Seattle band that seems to have been compared to My Morning Jacket by every reviewer around. The Shins have also been suggested. Then again, people tend to throw names around to make a statement. Another possible explanation is Pitchfork, which happened to rate Everything All the Time at 8.8 while drawing those comparisons. If they like it, it cant be that bad. Oh wait, TI’s King got 8.4.

This is why I don’t do reviews. Worthless pursuit.

Product Details (from Amazon.com):
Audio CD (March 21, 2006)
Label: Sub Pop
Sales Rank: #222 in Music
Yesterday: #152 in Music

For years Apple explicitly stated there would be no video iPod. Many saw it coming, but the company denied it time and time again. In the end, the video iPod was released.

Today, Apple went back on its words again by introducing Boot Camp, public beta software that enables Intel-based Macs to run Windows XP. From the press release:

“Apple has no desire or plan to sell or support Windows, but many customers have expressed their interest to run Windows on Apple’s superior hardware now that we use Intel processors,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “We think Boot Camp makes the Mac even more appealing to Windows users considering making the switch.”

It will be interesting to see how long this promise lasts.
