    Amazon AutoRip

    Yes, some songs are missing. The email I got from Amazon announcing AutoRip specifies that "SONGS from these CDs you purchased from Amazon in the past are now available for you in Cloud Player for FREE" and later in the email it says "Please note that some songs from the above CDs are not...

    Lady GaGa General Discussion

    The only thing solid I think she's said about the new album, other than the title 'Artpop', is that it will be released with an interactive app. She has hinted about song titles and release dates but I don't think anything has been confirmed about the number of songs.

    Lady GaGa General Discussion

    Gaga kicked off the North American (and last) leg of the Born This Way Ball tour last night in Vancouver and the show has received some very positive reviews: Lady Gaga Kicks Off Her Born This Way Ball in North America | Music News | Rolling Stone Lady Gaga shows she's impossible to top in...

    Lady GaGa General Discussion

    On Twitter she referred to this as the '1st installment' of dates so expect more soon. Whether that means more cities or just more shows in the cities already announced remains to be seen.

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    It's been a long time but I thought it was NBC that started the 'Johnson is faster' dispute and Johnson then took it from there. I seem to remember them showing a split screen of Bailey and Johnson side by side running over the same stretch of track and Johnson covered it faster so they...

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    Agree on both points. But unfortunately Fraser-Pryce doesn't set world records so gets overlooked. And yeah, the marathon finishing in the stadium isn't something that needed to be changed. lmao at Prince Harry being the Royal representative! I can see the Queen not being there again but...

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    To be fair Bolt did display a teeny, tiny bit of humility during the interview with John McEnroe when he said he was honored to be mentioned in the same sentence with Jesse Owens, Muhammad Ali, and Michael Johnson. Of course, that was after he said he 'definitely' belonged with them in the...

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    No, Costas would definitely not have said that about an American athlete. I'm sure it annoys him and NBC overall that, as hard as they have tried to make Michael Phelps the star of these games, the real star is Bolt. Normally the kind of hubris Bolt displays would bother me, but it doesn't...

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    The point I was trying to make is that people like to see records broken and know that the men's sprint records could potentially be broken anytime Bolt runs, but that is not the case with the women. The men's 100m record has been broken several times by several different runners over the last...

    Maybe, but he was looking at the timer before he slowed down so he must have thought he wasn't going to get the record.

    Great run by the US team too. Ryan Bailey almost stayed with Bolt on the final leg. It seemed like Bolt wanted to keep the baton as a souvenir but they wouldn't let him. Is there a rule that the officials have to collect them after the race?

    madonna vs u2

    How about Madonna vs Elton John instead? It's a fairer comparison since they're both solo artists and it could be a real knock-down drag-out battle since they seem to despise each other. Whose weave would come off first?

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    Yes, that was impressive. Glad to see one of the women's world records from the eighties finally broken, and bonus that it was an East German record. Even with Jeter this US team is cleaner than that East German team. I just hope I live long enough to see Flo-Jo's totally tainted 100M record...

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    Yes, that was a great evening of track & field. An amazing night for Great Britain (will probably take some of the sting out of the soccer loss), an end to the Ethiopian 10,000 meter domination, and a great women's 100M final to finish it off. I enjoyed the moment at the end when the fans were...

    London 2012 Summer Olympics

    Despite all the positives that would have resulted had NYC won the bid, I'm happy that London got it because I am enjoying the venues: tennis at Wimbledon; cycling time trials at Henry VIII's castle complete with thrones for the top three; rowing at Eton with packed grandstands on both sides...
