The XM and Sirius satellite radio merger may finally be coming to an end… It’s taken them long enough. Insiders are saying it looks like it may be entering the stage where the FCC is just going to push it through quickly because it’s been so long… If you are one to play with the stock market, you may want to take that as a hint. But it’s also a gamble since we don’t know for sure what is going to happen…

PC got an iPhone! ha. You have to laugh at this one…

Speaking of Apple, rumor has it they have been playing with new ideas of distributing music. First, Universal Music has approached Apple with the idea of releasing a device that contains the label’s entire catalog. Interesting. Apple has actually been trying for the past six months to negotiate with the major labels and allow a Total Music concept with the iPod. This means that you would have completely free (and legal) access to all of the major labels and their subsidiaries’ music, but the files will only work on your specific iPod device.

Coldplay has announced the name and release date of their upcoming album. It’s Viva la Vida and will street on June 17th in North America. People like to give Coldplay a hard time, but I will admit that I’m looking forward to hearing it…

So apparently Gibson is suing video game companies over patent infringement for Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Oh Gibson, I’m ashamed…

You knew it was bound to happen, but people have now proposed over Twitter… ha. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think it would have the same emotional effect. Not near as romantic. Wait, so maybe I’m not a geek after all? Score.

Oh, I just realized I still have last night’s episode of Lost to watch… Off I go…

Oh, right, I have a blog… Sheesh, things have been busy…

The Matchbox Twenty, Alanis Morisette, and Mute Math concert last month was freaking awesome. Can’t recommend checking MB20 enough… They put on a really good show. Mute Math, of course, is incredible live too… Morisette surprised me as she did a really good job as well. Plus there is nothing like having good seats at an arena show, that’s just a different beast altogether. ha.

Not much else is new, which is probably why I haven’t updated this much. Things are always busy, but it’s as if its the same week on repeat. Lots of work, lots of school, then the odds and ends in between. I’m still doing my freelancing work to various publications for some side cash, plus I’m always on the lookout for artists/bands for my A&R gig. I’m in the final stretch of college for the year though as April 25th is the final day… Nearly a month to go, then hopefully things will regulate again. Can’t wait!

Oh, I have tickets to go see OneRepublic in early May at the KoolHaus. Looking forward to that… I love concerts, even though I’ve been to hundreds. Music is my drug, what can I say?

Alright, back to working on these reviews… I have a deadline for tonight…
