Available Now on iTunes?

Foals' Antidotes and Tokyo Police Club's Elephant Shell, two of my favorite albums of 2008 thus far, are both available right now on iTunes. After last week's Raconteurs debacle, it's not clear whether they'll stay there since both have an April release. Foals debut is particularly interesting as it contains the bonus tracks and is selling for only $5.99. Get some!

Free: First Episode of Human Giant on iTunes

The guys at Human Giant crack me up. I've posted a couple of their videos in the past and now iTunes is offering up their debut episode for free. I haven't watched it yet but I'm downloading it now. The show premieres on MTV this Thursday @ 10:30. Since I refuse to watch MTV, this free download will come in handy. You can find some other videos on their web site.

Save the Album

Just read this article stating that Apple is making attempts to appease record execs by "allowing fans to buy complete digital albums without having to pay again for songs they already own." I'm not sure how much this will really impact the record industry; the rest of us have certainly figured out that it's a battle that can't be won. But, this definitely serves to benefit the user attempting to buy any album over 10 songs whereby a selection has already been purchased. "For example, if a customer had bought three 99-cent singles and decides to download the entire album with a listed price of $9.99, the customer would only have to pay $7.02." So, if it helps those folks who purchase music online, I'm all for it.

It's currently live on iTunes althought it says "limited-time offer." Current offers are set to expire on June 26.

What Thom Yorke is Listening To

Glancing over the iTunes Store home page today, I noticed that the latest Celebrity Playlist is courtesy of Thom Yorke. As you might expect, it contains some weird shit. 10 songs include Madvillain, the Dears, Malkmus, Liars, and a bunch of stuff I've never heard of. Check it out here.
