Remember when the iPhone 4 came out with its higher resolution video recording capabilities with iMovie and a few artists/bands made news for recording entire music videos? That’s still an impressive feat considering the iPhone 4 is a phone. But the new taker of the cake has done this ultra simplistic music creation gig one better. The indie punk-pop group Ultramods have just released a new CD dubbed “Underwear Party” which was completely recorded and...
The inevitable death of the CD will be one step closer and 300 residents of Pitman, New Jersey out of a job come March 31st. It is on that day that a Sony spokesperson confirmed with CNET that Sony will close 1 of 2 remaining CD manufacturing plants.
