300 Video Journals

I've been keeping up with this movie since I saw the first teaser trailer. You could take a still from any scene in the HD version of the trailer and use it as art on your walls. It looks that amazing. It's another comic adaptation from famed comic artist Frank Miller. Frank Miller was the creative genious behind Sin City. Though it was a hard movie to sit through due to the graphic content it was an amazingly beautiful looking and truley originl movie. 300 looks to be even better. They have been adding video journals on their site that are worth checking out if, like me, your into how movies are made. Click the pcture or the title to check them out.

Jobs: Apple would drop DRM if record labels agree

Apple would drop digital rights management (DRM) technology from the music sold through its iTunes Store if major record companies would allow such a move, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in an online post at Apple’s Web site. Jobs also called on people unhappy with DRM systems—particularly European regulators who want Apple to open its FairPlay DRM to competitors—to push record companies to sell online music without digital-rights restrictions.

“If the big four music companies would license Apple their music without the requirement that it be protected with a DRM, we would switch to selling only DRM-free music on our iTunes store,” Jobs wrote in a post called Thoughts on Music. “Every iPod ever made will play this DRM-free music.” - playlistmag.com

If anyone in the music industry has the power to convince the RIAA to set their music free it is Jobs. Don't think it will ever happen but it's good to see not everyone in the music business is "technologically inept".

Chris Sligh 4 American Idol

If you have been watching American Idol this year you may have seen Chris Sligh in the auditions. His audition was hilarious but the cat can really sing. Here is some more info on Chris. (Thanx to Greg for the link)

Sligh, 28, is a songwriter and lead singer for the Greenville-based band
Half Past Forever, according to a university news release.

During his first audition for the Fox reality show in Birmingham, Ala.,
Sligh sang Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose.” He received affirmation from all
three American Idol judges after his performance and was given the nod for
the show’s upcoming sessions in Hollywood.

“Chris was an incredible voice student, but I can’t take credit for his
contemporary style,” Cheryl Greene, Sligh’s voice professor at North
Greenville, said. “It will be exciting to see what happens.”

Sligh sang several times at special occasions on the university campus
while he was a music student at North Greenville, including leading worship
in chapel and performing in ensembles and choirs.

Numerous websites have begun backing Sligh and voicing their hope for him
to win the sixth season the popular show, according to the university news
release.

It would be awesome to see a christian artist make it to the finals again. Here is a clip of his audition:


And this is a video his band made:
