Glastonbury Music Festival & Apple/EMI DRM announcement...

Wet weather gear optionalHell, it's been a long time since I posted anything. A few people emailed me asking me whether NYUB had croaked it. Far from it! I just haven't had the time. Fear not, a new one will be coming out shortly. In the meantime, I managed to secure some coveted tickets to the Glastonbury music festival this year. I'm hoping to record all the weird and wonderful sounds from the festival and throw them on an NYUB episode in July.
Anybody else out there going? I'd love to catch up with you at the festival.
You've all probably heard about the Apple & EMI announcement. All EMI tracks will be sold without DRM. Apparently it's a move by Apple & EMI to please consumers. Bullshit. It's a move to entrench AAC as the defacto digital standard in the industry. Embracing the MP3 format would have been more symbolic.
