New World Party Video

I love World Party and I was really glad to see Karl Wallinger playing live again at SXSW this year. Back around 1997, I saw them on their last real U.S. tour and I can honestly say that the only performer that's ever impressed me more with the sheer range and intensity of his musical talents was Prince... and Prince is a much better dancer... ;)

Anyway, after suffering some health issues which nearly took his life, Wallinger's back with the U.S. release of "Dumbing Up". You can see the video for the first single "What Does It Mean Now?" here...

Swapping Music Via the USPS?

Boston.com discusses the new website, lala.com, which is currently in beta test...

''It seems to be perfectly legal," Gibson said, for the same reason that retailers can buy and sell used books and CDs. ''If you are the owner of a particular physical copy of a CD or a book or anything that's copyrighted, you have the right to dispose of that CD or book any way you wish."

The Money Shot: One Pissed Flea

Flea speaks out on the leaking of the new Red Hot Chili Peppers CD to the Internet... ironically, at redhotchilipeppers.com...

"yes, we worked for a year and a half to make the epic record of our lives and it is sad to me for the business reasons of course i think we are selling something really cool and we put all we had into it, 28 songs, 2 hours of the best that we can offer and i think it is a fair deal for everyone and for people to just steal a poor sound quality version of it for free because some asshole stole it and put it on the internet is sad to me."
