It's No Fun To Stay At The D-M-C-A...November 1

Okay, I'm sure you're wondering why there hasn't been as much music here lately. Last week's DMCA takedown was not an incident isolated to BOS, but part of a huge wave of indiscriminate takedowns and post deletions across the blogosphere, many of which seemed to be focused on blogs hosted on Blogspot.

You can read about some of the many incidents here:

Going Donuts On Election Day !October 30

Philadelphia's going to be a buzzing on election day next week, in addition to being one of the hottest contested states this time around, there's going to be plenty of music action. I told you about the new Illinois music yesterday, today I have a brand new video from Phildelphia's Donuts. It's for their song Guantanamo from their record Jet Ear. It was directed by Mark Schreiber (of Slo-Mo, John Train, The Low Road, etc) and Suzanne Penn (of the Philadelphia Art Museum) and shot at the shore in Ocean City,New Jersey while throngs of adoring teenage fan girls looked on. Check it out, it's a great song, and there's some cool special effects in the video.

Here's their game plan for next Tuesday:
"on election day, we will promote the video by donning our prison jumpsuits
and busking the song in front of as many polling places in philly that we
can get to ... the idea is to change history ..."

Watch for'em, have a good time while you vote, and as they say "change history"
