A contender for my photo of the year: Whitley @ The Annandale Hotel, Annandale - 16th May, 2008 Rather than wait until the end of the year I thought I’d undertake Part I of my photography review of 2008 at the close of June. Closing 2007 out with José González was always going to be difficul...

The E100 was a little weak for the iriver name, but at $59 for 8GB of PMP deliciousness, it's hard to resist. Walmart is clearing out the black iteration for $40 off the original price, and while we'd hate to presume and be wrong, we're hoping this is just a sign that iriver's gonna go all out at CE...

Well, I suppose it is time for a Top 10–or 15–list, right? Let’s start with my Top 15 New York concerts from 2008. Of course, these are only culled from concerts that I attended so I’m sure everyone has their own list. Post yours in the comments! Runner-Up. Man Man and Yeasay...

Filed under: Podcasts, Portable Video iriver's Lplayer, which we just got done handling ourselves, made it over to the review crew at PC Magazine. As expected, both design and interface were smiled upon, and critics also felt the price was fair. Upon using the admittedly wee device, they seemed to h...

In case you didn’t hear, the one and only Sharon Jones and her Dap-Kings graced the stage of Late Night with Conan O’Brien yesterday, performing a very emotional, very tight rendition of “Let Them Knock,” off 100 Days, 100 Nights. The Music Slut has posted the performance. Sh...
