*Not a Journey fan? Stereogum (back from the blahs somehow?) lets snobby, outraged viewers remix the ending of the Sopranos. Well, the song that was playing, if not the actual ending. [via]
*Sony Ericsson has launched a couple new music-focused phones, including one handset in the Walkman series. Their W910 version (not the Walkman) allows listeners to skip forward or back through tracks by bopping the phone left or right, and shuffle tunes by shaking it up. [via]
*(Tangential!) The White Stripes are selling limited edition flash drives that contain their latest album, Icky Thump. They look kinda like White Stripized Russian nesting dolls, and cost $99. 3,333 of each were made. Yes, the flash drive design is the new album cover.
*Is it just comedians who Twitter? I haven’t been systematic in looking, but it appears to be comedians (like the guys from Human Giant, and, of course, Jim Gaffigan) who are working hardest to do marketing/PR/fan connection in the “presence media” of Twitter and Jaiku to this point. Have not seen nearly as many musicians.
