WFMU
In 1993, Icelandic singer Björk Guðmundsdóttir, better known just as Björk, recorded her album Debut, which kicked of her solo career after the breakup of The Sugarcubes.

Blu-Ray
Meijer has a blu-ray player for $99 (shipped!) and Wal-Mart has one for $128. These are great prices, but it has to hurt Sony PS3 sales. For a while, the $399 console was your best option for a Blu-Ray that also got you nextgen gaming in the same package.

missmfitch:
So I did some research for bands other than the ones I already know of (Cobra Starship, The Click Five, and The Medic Droid) that had a Keytar. Here’s what I found, and my opinions on them.
