Defending the Indefensible
by mr. travis
The Michael Vick dog fighting debacle took an odd turn yesterday afternoon when Vick found an unlikely ally in the Atlanta chapter of the NAACP. President R.L. White stated in a press release “As a society, we should aid in his rehabilitation and welcome a new Michael Vick back into the community without a permanent loss of his career in football. We further ask the NFL, Falcons, and the sponsors not to permanently ban Mr. Vick from his ability to bring hours of enjoyment to fans all over this country.” President White went further making the claim that Vick made a mistake and continued with the straw man argument that dog fighting is no different than hunting. While White has the right to speak his mind, he has entered the realm of just another person in a long line of people defending those who are rich and famous from their horrendous behavior.

Sympathy for the Music Industry: To Be DRM Free . . .
by mr. travis
In the ever-struggling battle between the major record labels and the future of the recording industry, a new level of stupidity has emerged as the largest of these labels, the Universal Music Group (who encompass other labels such as Interscope, Geffen, etc. etc.) has taken their fight to Apple’s ITunes, specifically regarding distribution rights as well as the DRM (digital rights management) technology that is encoded with every song purchased through the company. Steve Jobs, the CEO for Apple as well as one of the leaders in the new digital music world has in recent months gone on the offensive in the ongoing controversy regarding DRM technology, going as far as to state publicly that he wanted it eliminated from the legal downloading sector. While the financial implications of such a move would highly benefit Apple, it would be mutually beneficial for the labels, especially Universal with their ever expanding catalog to go such a route. Unfortunately, Universal has put up a posturing front; from threatening to pull their catalog from ITunes to “testing” their DRM-free music downloads through lower-tier services such as Rhapsody or Wal-Mart. With the volatile state of the music industry in constant flux, a move like this by the largest major distributor could have disastrous implications resulting from such a stupid and risky move.

Sleeper Artist: The Soothing Sounds of Syd and Tristan
by maddness
Everyone has their own “Chill List”; you know, those lists you see online that have a clever (for lack of a better word) name of “Chillax” or “Evening Chillout”. Upon creating a version of said list, the Cacophony crew realized it was possible to create such a playlist that was only comprised of two artists.
