Russell Brand does get himself into trouble. If you've listened to his radio show or podcast, you know it's a rambling, often rude, flowery and stuttering trip through Russell's life and experiences. Usually it's a lot of fun.

Helen Mirren was at the GMTV studios this morning, looking gorgeous with her red accessories. On Russell Brand's latest Radio 2 podcast, he told the injured Noel Gallagher that he has a beard for his part in a new adaptation of The Tempest, starring Helen. This being Russell, he then went on to describe his plans to get with her — with Noel's encouragement — saying "I am going to seduce that Queen."
I have a lot of friends who are distraught about the news that Pandora may be going under due to overwhelming royalty fees. The popular Internet radio service doesn't just stream music online, but becomes attuned to your listening habits and creates customized stations for you. I love Pandora for an alternative to my own music library, so I'd be disappointed to see it disappear however many imitators there may be.

That is, except for a radio app. The absence of a radio option has frustrated some iPod users, as shown in this week's iPod vs.

I have to admit that I'm not an avid radio listener like I used to be. Since I don't have a car, it really cuts down on the opportunity, plus it's just not necessary to sit through commercials and the same songs every hour when I can pick and choose tracks I want, and upload a playlist to my iPod.
So when I heard news that the recording industry is claiming that AM-FM radio broadcasts are a form of piracy, and they should pay a tax for each spin of an artist's track, I wasn't surprised.

I am unapologetically behind the declaration that I consider myself a girly-girl. I don't always love pink gadgets, but I don't always hate them either. But I have a line.

Cute, and eco, too. The Areaware Magno Wooden Radio ($330), designed by Singgih Kartono, is made from sustainably harvested woods, and combines the techiness of an mp3 player with the ageless quality and appeal of wood. If this had an alarm, I'd be all about it.

I am not only in love with all things geeky, but all things related to music as well. Thankfully we live in a time where we have access to more cool music, more often with sites like Pandora and Mercora making it super easy to get new music into those earbuds. If you have access to the internet (duh) and either Windows Media, Real Player, or iTunes then you're all set to feast your ears on the musical stylings of kexp.org.
I'll be completely honest. The only time I ever listen to the radio is when I'm in a car. Other than that, I heavily rely on my iPod and iPod dock for rocking out to all my favorite tunes.
