• TMBG fans really really should check out their podcasts. Very cool. Only two so far but absolute excellence. From the podcast, I found that they're doing some fun ringtones with Wired magazine coming out in February. Can't wait to snag those!  (UPDATE: They are on their 12th podcast...(21A is actually their 12th). No clue why they aren't all archived there. I found a link to the dial-a-song podcast archive but there doesn't seem to be any there, sigh.)

• Turbine is supposed to announce today that the much-anticipated Shadows of Angmar Lord of the Rings MMORPG is to go live on April 24. They're still in beta now...here's the link if you want to be lucky enough to get an invite.
  
• If you do get an invite or you end up playing when it goes live, you might want some help coming up with your name. Mine are: Hobbit--  Breabrylla 'Proudfoot' Long Cleve of Westmarch; Elven-- Galania Evenstar; Dwarven-- Yswssa,Queen of Durin’s Folk; Human-- Umoiri of the Northmen; Wizard-- Valaraukar, Grey Wanderer. Fun fun!
• Right now I'm really loving The Decemberists, Lisa Gerrard and Emilie Simon.
• Some of you may remember Stephen Colbert's Green Screen Counter Challenge to the Decemberists...well Colbert's video us funny. But these great YouTube user responses are hilarious. Colbert just plain rocks.
  
• And as a funny side note, I play Everquest II here and there and in one of the zones, Butcherblock Mountains, there is an NPC that wanders along a path named Trapper Coalbear. He gives you a quest to kill the "number one threat" in Butcherblock--bears. Cracks me up.
