The SS Web Roundup: Cliff's Notes for the hipster on the run...
- The big news: The unholy alliance of Microsoft and MTV will launch a new music download service. Wait a sec...since when do either of these companies have anything to do with music?
- To illustrate our point, MTV is considering this for it's 2006 schedule. And this. Oh, and how could we forget this?
- Eminem's "final" (right) album debut's at #1 with over 400,000 copies moved. Not too shabby, but that's about one-quarter of what Slim moved in 2002 with The Eminem Show. Not to mention the benefit of the holiday sales bump. I guess it doesn't feel so empty without him after all...
- Mogwai return with Mr. Beast.
- Now we might actually watch Dancing with the Stars. OK not really.
- Jimmy Page is honored by the Queen, but not for getting the Led out.
- The Smith's reunite sans Morrissey.
- A documentary of the annual Coachella festival will hit theaters Jan. 24. Featured artists will include The Pixies, The Arcade Fire, The White Stripes, more.
- Speaking of Mr. Black and co., Pitchfork's got the goods on the new live, double-disc available on eMusic.
- Last but not least: The Day in Doherty: His old dealer begs him to take an HIV test and Ozzy wants to kick his ass.
