Stations Agree on Anti-Payola Settlement - Now, I wouldn't be at all surprised if independent and local artists still get the short end of the stick by having their airtime blocks in the middle of the night, but it's a start. The more airtime for bands like Arcade Fire and the less for "artists" like Jennifer Lopez the better in my book.
Speaking of which - I got Neon Bible today! I've only listened to the first 5 songs (in the car coming back from the store), but I'm already in love. "Keep the Car Running" may be my new favorite song. It's always so emotionally fulfilling when you get a new CD by a band you love, and it's just as amazing as you had hoped it would be. (well, at least the first 5 songs) ;)
I also bought new work clothes today. *sigh* I really like them; I just hate spending money. Oh, well. It was a necessity at this point.
Oh and new icon. *points* :D
