Back when this blog was ye olde Sliver Magazine , we had a feature called 50 Words Or Less in which we reviewed the latest songs and albums with--you guessed it!--long, rapturous discussion that had 1,000 word ledes at least. Were Sliver not only read by friends and immediate family, it may have been our calling card feature. After all, the whole thing recalls Robert Christgau for the ADD generation, no? But I got to thinkin' (which is always dangerous): How could this feature be brought back? And this is what I came up with: [...]

DOWNLOAD: Bright Eyes - Coat Check Dream Song (Live) (MP3) The last release date in November means slim pickings for music fans.

Weekly Discussion: Mp-free for all, or right-click to save the industry? (Drowned in Sound) ...the music industry, for all the occasional gusto, has largely turned its back and shrugged its shoulders to the mp3 blog. Not only in acceptance that there is little to stop the ravenous bandits from running amok, but that a healthy scene also exists where all want in on material that would have previously gone unloved. Mustaches are cool again? Yes, by a whisker (Boston.com) [...]
