  I heard what will be on the cover of The Advocate's annual music issue. It is not a particular person, but a national "phenomenon." Wanna guess again? Think Sanjaya.

  Dangerous Muse is now finally signed to Sire and plans to release their full-length disc late summer. A "Give Me Danger" remix EP is slated for May. It's taking too long, guys. Better make it worth the wait.

  Apollo Zero made a video mash up of Madonna and Depeche Mode. Reach out and touch it.

  I had never heard of the term "gemo" before until I received a press release yesterday. "Gemo" is a combination of "gay and "emo." Not in a Pete Wentz kind of way, but in a Logan Lynn kind of way. His new video "Burning Your Glory" video will start airing on LOGO this weekend. It's good. It's different.

  Royksopp is releasing a DJ mix album later this month. Study the cover and try to figure it out.

  Check out this new video of SoftLightes. It will brighten your day. Get a guilt-free MP3 of "Heart Made Of Sound" here. Perfect stuff for fans of The Shins and The Postal Service.

  Read this and then read this. Who's spinning?

  This is a cute bag. Just in time for your outdoor Easter egg hunt.

  Something is crawling out of your PowerBook... Watch that sexed up new Ultra Naté video here.

  Listening this weekend to new albums by Temposhark, Siobhan Donaghy, MOTOR and Erasure.  Also, preparing interviews with Tracey Thorn and The Cliks.
