Album Of The Day: Never Take Friendship Personal by Anberlin

Album Art of Anberlin's Never Take Friendship Personal album - On a white background and table, a marble-looking bust with the top half of the head missing on the right side--it looks like it was broken off and we can see it's hollow. Overlaid on top of this picture is some blue flowers in such a way that they look like they are stuck inside the bust and protruding out the missing part of the bust.

Album Of The Day: Leave What's Lost Behind by Colony House

Album Art of Colony House's Leave What's Lost Behind album - surrounded by a wide, beige border is a photo of the back of a person. We can only see the bottom of his face, but the photo focuses on a denim jacket which has the words 'Leave What's Lost Behind' stitched in gold on the back. It looks like the person may be outside on a cloudy day about golden hour.

Apple's iPod Refresh & iTunes Ping

As usual, every fall Apple debuts a new line of iPods to wow the kids and parents into getting new iPods. And, of course, this year was no exception. On Wednesday, September 1st, Steve Jobs and many from the Apple crew showed the press their latest products at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in downtown San Francisco, CA. And as expected, the iPods were updated with cooler, newer features and a couple other new products were announced as well.

How Best Buy Makes Their Money

Griffin iTrip AutoThis weekend, I'm going on a trip to South Bend, Indiana. For the trip, I decided I should have an iTrip, the very helpful device that charges your iPod or iPhone while also transmitting the audio over the radio waves. It's a great product and I've had ones numerous times before, but I seemed to have misplaced mine over the last 6-8 months.

The Elms Truth, Soul, Rock and Roll Shirt

OK, this shirt is one of my all time favorites. Well, that's mostly because it's bold and it proclaims one of my all-time favorite bands, The Elms. Plus, this is the only shirt I've purchased twice! Here's the old and busted one (which I'm not wearing today):

The Derek Webb Shirt

This is a shirt that I got at a show just two and a half blocks from my house. Of course, it wasn't just because the show was that close that I went, it was also because I've been a big fan of Derek Webb for much longer than that. It's dark red and has a rather weird design on the front top left of the shirt, like this:
