They plan on keeping both a BF1942 and BFV version so that people who cant play BFV for whatever reason will still be able to enjoy the mod.

Australian Music Sales Soar, Despite File Sharing

It appears that the Australian music industry had their best year ever, amazingly enough considering how p2p is hurting record sales (sic). Unfortunately, you wont hear about it on main stream media because they also downplayed the year with a spin that blames p2p for the drop in singles sales.

Here is an interesting article about the situation. I wonder if US sales will have a similiar effect and spin put out by the RIAA?

Epitaph Records Music News

Spent some time browsing the Epitaph Records website recently and found some things of interest on a number of bands….

Hepcat: For those who dont know Hepcat, they are an L.A. band that play an infectious style of ska that resurrects the rythms and swagger of the Studio One music that came out of Jamaica in the 1960s. They are re-releasing their first album Out of Nowhere and are celebrating with a few rare tour dates. If you are anywhere near any of these shows I recommend that you go see them. I saw them on the original Out of Nowhere tour in the early 1990s and they just blew me away. If you cant see them live, check out the CD or at the very least get the free mp3. You can find out more here. Continue reading Epitaph Records Music News

Gallery link is located on the left under “Features”

We are also adding some interesting military and commercial airplane pictures. – Atomm
