Remember my official song of the summer? Well, they've remixed it, this time with Annie on vocals.
[MP3] Teddybears - Your To Keep (Annie Mix)
Strangely, the original beats this one all to hell. *shrug*
Also, Teddybears have done yet another version of the song, this one with Neneh Cherry on vocals (I would have gone with Martina Topley-Bird, but that's just me). It's the free iTunes download of the week and my least favorite of the three versions.
Some band named The Diggs made an Underworld cover. I haven't listened to it yet, but you can.
[MP3] The Diggs - Two Months Off
Peep the video for the Cold War Kids track "Hang Me Up To Dry."

10 albums you must hear this Autumn.
The new Jay-Z album: A bad idea?
Crumpler, makers of the best photo and laptop bags around, is having a slient auction for charity at a new hot spot in Williamsburg, NYC. Here are the details:
Crumpler will be holding a silent auction of custom messenger bags, opening with a bang on Thursday September 21st at Williamsburg's newest gallery Like The Spice (224 Roebling Street). The artist-designed bags will then be on display at Crumpler's West Village Custom Store (49 8th Avenue, corner of Horatio) until Sunday evening at 8pm, at which point the bidding will end and bags will be presented to the smiling and expectant winners at a small party.
Normally I wouldn't plug events like this but I own three different Crumpler photo bags and they are definitely information leafblower approved and endorsed. Even more so if someone from Crumpler is reading this and wants to hook me up with one big enough for this lens I am seriously contemplating buying mortgaging my life savings to obtain.
Speaking of lenses and photo geekery, I bought one of these earlier in the week and it should be delivered in time for tonight's Zero 7 show at the 9:30 Club. I've heard great things so I'm very excited to try it out.
The best commentray I've read about the new iPods and iTV is from Mark Cuban.
you've got all your crumpler links funked.
dude, the 85mm is an AMAZING lens. Changed my whole philosophy of concert photography.
As for the 70-200,f2.8L IS whew. Hope you've been working out, those things is HEAVY. But yeah, I'd love one of those as well.
And related - Canon just announced the new DigicIII processor. If it offers a clean ISO 3200, I think that a camera upgrade is definitely in order (unless it's only on the 1D/5D lines).
you would love the Diggs. Great band out of NYC.
oh my goodness, i think i like this annie remix more than the original.
