John Davis, previously of Q and Not U and Georgie James, has released the first single from his new band, Title Tracks.  Two songs on the single, and both are great, fast, hook-chorused rock.  The record release party was last night, but I was working.

Lala.com isn’t cooperating tonight, so head over to the band’s myspace to check out some samples.

Senator Russ Feingold, D-Wisconsin, wants to expand his musical horizons.  Maybe he heard that the kids were listening to good music again, or maybe he picked up a staffer’s iPod by accident and wanted to know what the dreck was.  So he’s soliciting requests from constituents (with constituents defined broadly enough to include the entire internet).  Each month, he’ll share an artist he really likes.  The first one?  Wisconsin’s very own Bon Iver.

Variable mp3 pricing hit iTunes and Amazon MP3 this week.  That means that oldies will be 69 cents, while new and popular tracks will be $1.29, with the majority remaining at the 99 cent price point.  Thank God the music I like isn’t all that popular.
