ANNUALS-Sweet sister (EP)
The first Annuals album, 2006’s “Be He Me” was certainly one of my picks for the best of that year. At least that’s how I remember it, before RIAA risks made me shut down my old blogspot blog and all the content disappeared. but then the band joined Columbia for their 2008 sophomore record, which I never listened to. because if it ain’t indie, I ain’t gonna write about it, and if I ain’t gonna write about it, I don’t have time to listen to it. It’s not a snob thing (well, maybe it is a little), it’s just practical: The majors don’t like blogs, so I don’t review their stuff.But what does that have to finish with Annuals’ new EP, “Sweet Sister?” Plenty. The band has returned to an indie label, with frontman Adam Baker back behind the production boards, and they’ve never sounded better. It’s sweet pop, highly…

When “Pirate” Comics Are honest
I’ve got a hectic couple of weeks coming up for travel, a few days away as well as then a company trip, so I’ve been considering the virtue of digital comics. I’ve likewise been influenced by this edition of the NY Times Ethicist, in which a visitor asks for the columnist’s viewpoint on downloading a “pirate” copy of a book he has already bought in purchase to prevent carrying a three-and-a-half-pound book on his trip. The response provided begins as follows: An unlawful download is — to utilize an unsightly word — illegal. however in this case, it is not unethical. author as well as publisher are entitled to be paid for their work, as well as by buying the hardcover, you did so. Your subsequent downloading is akin to purchasing a CD, then copying it to your iPod. Buying a book or a piece of music ought to be…
Diamond digital Details; stores Can sell online Comics in September
five months after the diamond digital program was announced, a plan for physical comic stores to sell online comics, we finally have some details. A press release reveals that the program will launch in September. The reason for the delay? According to Dave Bowen, director of diamond Digital, they want “to get every detail of this launch right.” good plan. It’s kooky enough to start that bugs would likely kill it. After all, the appeal of digital comic shopping is downloading titles instantly, whenever you want them — forcing customers to travel to a shop to get a code to download an issue is somewhat convoluted in comparison. The only likely customer scenario I can imagine is that there might be some appeal to browsing. A customer already at a comic shop sees an issue, flips through it, and makes a decision he doesn’t want the book but will pay…
