Very nice, assuming it does all this video says it does… Wonder if this will send Apple back to the drawing board or if it will put fire under their tail to get their tablet out.

WARNING: Twitter Worm Spreading via Direct Messages

// September 24th, 2009 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

We have received multiple reports that a new, convincing, and dangerous worm and phishing scam is making the rounds on Twitter. Hacked accounts are sending DMs to users and stealing their login information. In fact, one of our own has received one of these direct messages.

Unsuspecting users are receiving DMs with the following text:

If you get this DM, DO NOT VISIT THE LINK. It takes you to a replica of the Twitter (Twitter) login page where the hackers will steal your account and use it to send out more infected DMs to your friends.

If you’re one of the unlucky ones to be fooled by this worm, make sure you change your password. Also delete any tweets or DMs that have the link. If you can’t log into your account, reset the password and contact Twitter Support.

This is not the first worm to hit Twitter, but this one is especially dangerous because the login page is convincing and it is spreading via DMs from friends you trust.

When we have more information, we’ll update you with it.

Update: We contacted Twitter and they quickly got back to us. They are aware of the threat and are on the case.

Free Music Friday : Burgers For Lunch Edition

// August 28th, 2009 // No Comments » // Totally Free Music!

Yeah, I know. I’m running out of “edition” titles. Today, I’m eating at Poe’s Tavern. Hands down the best burger I’ve ever had. If you are ever in Charleston, SC you owe it to yourself to head out to Sullivan’s Island and get a taste. They have great fish tacos as well!!!

Also today, I have a very cool track from Peter Bradley Adams. This is off his new album Traces coming out September 22. I featured Peter earlier this year (maybe last year) and I got more comments about his music than any other… ever. So I’m excited to share with you this great new track called “For You”. Thanks to Sarathan Records for hooking us up with this. Sarathan Records is also the home of War Tapes another band we featured last fall who I’ve heard quite a bit on satellite radio lately.

Next is a band called Moving Mountains. The album “Pneuma” is a collision of emo-rock glory, math-y dynamics, waves of complex melody and epic atmospherics… the track 8105 encompasses all this and more.

The Growlers tap the raspy old school rock vocal style of Bob Dylan while overlaying them on the smooth guitar-esque riff style of Chris Isaak and The Doors… I know, two different worlds. But this is classic and good stuff. Kick back and enjoy…

And finally we have a solo piece from Mac Powell the vocals behind Third Day. This is from a compilation called The Daraja Children’s Choir of Africa. Great story about kids and hope and sharing… read about it here.

Free Music Friday : You Name It

// August 21st, 2009 // No Comments » // Totally Free Music!

It’s been a long week. I’ve been sick, pulled my back out (yes, I’m older than you think) and can’t get caught up with all the work I need to get done… so sad, eh? Nope! Friday is here and it’s time for free music so it’s all good.

Also had a few requests to link to the band’s website/myspace pages… done (when possible).

It’s been one of those up and down weeks like Emo music… it’s evil, it’s awesome.. whatever. This is from a compilation called Emo Is Awesome Emo Is Evil 2. The band is Sounds Like Violence and the track is “You Give Me Heartattacks”.

So I saw this release by Andrew W.K. and thought this should be loud, off the wall anthems and decent… WRONG. Let’s talk about classical/Jazz improvisations. No joke, this guy is a classically trained musician and shows his skills on his first solo release on his new imprint label. Well done A.W.K.

Found this track and thought it started nice… then heard the soulful raw voice of J. Tillman pop out in front of the mix and knew I had to share. It’s folky alternative and very hard to describe. It’s got a lot of depth and well.. just listen.

If you have a band with the word jetpacks in it you automatically get included on here. Introducing We Were Promised Jetpacks and their profound song title “Ships With Holes Will Sink”. I’m not making fun, you know I like it a little bit to include it! Indie rock with a little bit of angst thrown in.. enjoy.
