NGL_05Celine8.JPGSo guess who was in the audience Monday night for Celine Dion's concert at American Airlines Center? Yup! Former Dallas Cowboys player Emmitt Smith. Celine acknowledged him, then her cameraman honed in on the affable athlete and projected his image onto the video screens for the audience to see. He was greeted with a round of applause. And what did Celine mention most when talking about Emmitt? His Dancing With the Stars win. Goes to show you that Emmitt's 15 minutes of TV fame may very well follow him further than his athletic career.

Apple cuts copy protection, prices on iTunes

So over at Macworld today, Apple announced that it would remove Digital Rights Management from all 10 millions songs in its library. Also, song prices will come in three tiers — 69 cents, 99 cents and $1.29 — which will be decided by record companies.

You can read the full AP story here.

As to the DRM removal, all I can say is "it's about time." Yes, I know there are other outlets for getting music sans DRM. But I have to admit that iTunes makes it entirely too easy for me. I can buy using Paypal! It organizes my music! It suggests other songs I might like!

For the price tiers, well, I probably could have saved some money when I went on that old school, college days of rock shopping spree last week. Somehow, I've got to think that Fastball's "Out of My Head" would have gone for 69 cents. I guess the real test will come with new releases.

Kraftwerk co-founder leaves group

MUSIC-KRAFTWERK.JPGWondering how that beat got in your head? Blame Kraftwerk and its co-founders Florian Schneider and Ralf Huetter, fathers of electro-pop, a sound that every danceclub remix ever made tries to ape. Now, news is confirmed that Schneider is leaving the group that he's been a part of since the founding in 1970.

No one's saying why. But a 10-stop tour shows no signs of being cancelled.
