New Music Tuesday - Oct. 21, 2003
Despite the FUD* from Microsoft's Dave Fester (what a great name), Windows users downloaded 1 million copies of iTunes and bought 1 million songs in only 3 days. Following one of the biggest weeks ever, today's new additions were pretty light, so I'll focus on celebrity playlists and some older gems today.
My first choice is Sting's Playlist, hilighting Shaking the Tree, by Peter Gabriel.
Herbie Hancock's Playlist has some interesting selections, especially
Bitches Brew, by Miles Davis (which iTMS often renders as B***es Brew), one of the most important albums ever, which paved the way for all jazz/rock fusion artists.
After listening to Joe Stummer's final album, streetcore, non-stop for the last two weeks, it's time to dig out more Clash albums. Start with The Essential Clash and The Singles. Don't miss
Sandanista! (Remastered), their most heavily Reggae-influenced album.
For jazz fans, check out Electro Bamako, by Malian singer Mamani Keita, who I never heard of before I previewed this one in new releases, and
Verve Remixed 2, which features electronic dance remixes of jazz standards.
*FUD: Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. A marketing technique pioneered by IBM in the 60s and raised to an art form by Microsoft.
Unsanity releases Application Enhancer 1.4.1
Unsanity today announced the release of Application Enhancer (APE) 1.4.1, which is now compatible with Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) as well as 10.2. The new version also no longer affects processes owned by root for added security.
Unsanity has also posted this page disclosing the Panther compatibility of all of their products.
