I think I’m okay with Last.fm being bought by CBS. The site isn’t being broken up, the team stay in London and they have a whole lot of money to improve the service. I reckon it could be okay. Let’s hope its more Flickr post Yahoo, than Myspace post Murdoch…

If you, like me, are trying desperately to fill up a massive iPod with computerised music, you would be well advised to visit Zartek from the Nelion galaxy. He’s probably the best MP3 blogger around right now (16 33 excepted of course) especially after a week of uploading amazing, osbscure space disco to his Awesome Hall Of Fame. He’s got everything right, sound quality, pictures, ID3 tags (well actually I have to tidy up the track titles after download. Who’s down with OCD?) and he manages to write just the right amount about each one. Maximum points.

You should know that it’s Tattooed Lady Month at the Hurkulaneum and Home Taping Is Killing Music Month at Altrap.com. Celebremos.

After the jump theres three more musicals that I thought about recording music from but decided they didn’t warrant it…

Melvin Van Peebles’ “Don’t Play Us Cheap”

One of two MVP musicals I know of. The other one is based on his albums. It’s odd. He’s a nutbag. I like him. This one is a proper theatre sitcom. It’s good fun but not essential. You can get this on CD, which surprises me a fair bit.
Trivia: This album is home to the “Yooooooou better watch yo’ step” vocal that the Beatnuts hooked for thier 1997 summer-owning “Off The Books”.

Actual on-stage performance – “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown”

I think this is still running on Broadway. It would be a good show if it had child actors. With the patronising adults it has it falls flat to my ears. Its wierd how Peanuts is so big that it can have a 40 year musical that doesn’t appear to reflect the comic strip at all.

Original London cast – “Snoop The Musical”

This one is really bad. They have a bit part dude from “Terry and June” playing Charlie Brown. Why bother?
