Radiohead wasn’t the first to make their album available for download, and it looks like they’re not going to be the last either.

On the album, Saul Williams covered ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’, you can check it out here.

The Blogotheque crew recorded St. Vincent performing “Marry Me” at the Hot Freaks! party in Austin a few months back. This is a great recording.

Girl in a Coma fulfilled a lifelong dream when they were asked to open for Morrissey on his UK dates. Girl in a Coma is an all-female rock trio from San Antonio, TX. Apparently Moz had Kristeen Young scheduled to open for him for a bunch of dates on this tour, but he had to let her go, after she made some rather uncouth remarks about Morrissey, while onstage.

I don’t know if opening for someone that you adore is a good thing or a bad thing. But I like the sound of these ladies. They’re also going to be on an upcoming episode of LA Ink (which is one of my guilty pleasures).

Here’s their video for “Clumsy Sky”

Beijing (China) - China is known for creating pirated versions of DVDs and even video games, but now it is also the home of a cheap version of an entire gaming console.

James Wong takes the credit for inventing the strikingly similar-looking Wii clone. In addition to making the console look very realistic, Wong has created a “Vii” remote that also mimics its Wii counterpart.
In addition, the Vii comes with “Vii Sports” as well as Vii channels similar to the ones offered on the Wii. It also comes with a knock-off of Cooking Mama, and another bowling game.

The Chinese rip-off first showed up earlier this year but has gained more attention as the holiday season approaches, and Nintendo still faces production problems with the Wii.

The Vii is currently being sold at an online Chinese retailer for 986 yuan ($125).
