Tic Toc
Samsung
Not available yet to consumers
This week we are at the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas looking for the newest and hopefully next mobile music device that will strike the consumer’s fancy. The crew hit the Samsung booth this afternoon and stumbled upon the most adorable mp3 player yet! Not only is it adorable but it is the most innovative mp3 that has yet to hit the consumer market and it’s called Tic Toc.

Monster Booth
1/7/2009 @ 12:30
The crowd grew exponentially at the Monster Booth around 12 noon today. Lady Gaga wasn’t scheduled until 12:15 but people didn’t mind waiting. Actually people were surrounding the booth for over an hour just to get a glimpse of Lady Gaga. Of course, the event was late and then one after another everybody else stepped onstage to speak. This included the likes of the Chairman from Interscope, CEO of (RED), and Dr. Dre. Dr. Dre wasn’t too bad, but the rowdy tech crowd wanted to see Gaga.

Google..Google…Google…what can’t they do? I am still waiting for an Android App that will make me breakfast, and if anybody can get that done its Google! Until then we will all have to settle with Google’s new Music Search listings. Ok, I really don’t know what they call it, but it’s a new way to search, listen, and purchase music from select artists. By select we mean participating artists.
If you look at the front page of Google today they tell you to Discover New Music today! See snapshot below. By clicking on the link it directs you to the handy dandy information/how to page.

It’s that time of year again when I head to Vegas to the see the latest in consumer electronics. I ultimately go to the latest in mobile gear and music. I skipped the Billboard Music Conference this year because last year was a waste of my time. I hate to admit that I even spent money to go there. A blogger friend said she went to this year’s for the first half and said it was pretty boring and uneventful so she left.
It’s funny like most conferences I think people go just to go to the parties to either have fun or to network. Ok, occasionally it’s both. This year we were invited to a couple different parties and thank goodness none of them overlapped. Last night was Sony’s Online Party at Studio 54. They had life size chess and checker games as well as a huge race track set up for remote control racing. Oh yes, there was a poker tournament going on, but I was the first one kicked out so I had the opportunity to explore the “Studio.” I am really bad at Texas Hold ‘em. It was all good fun and good times, especially hanging out with my new BBC friends and Home and Gardens.
Tonight is the Monster Party with Diana Ross. I am very excited to see what kind of show she puts on. We are going to try and get some pictures and definitely a full report on the night’s festivities. Otherwise today is a day of R&R and trying to rid of the sniffles!

People in Planes is out touring in support of their September release of Beyond the Horizon off Wind-Up Records. Beyond the Horizon is their 3rd album with two tracks written, “Better Than Life” and “Lay in the Road” with Natasha Schneider and Alan Johannes. Check out their song “Pretty Planes”, my favorite off the album so far.
The five members of People in Planes are from Wales. People in Planes is the band’s current name, though hardcore fans may also know the band as Tetra Splendour. I am going to go out on a limb and say it’s Welsh. Not sure of a translation there. I am sure someone out there will leave it in the comments. Hint Hint. they also went by Robots in the Sky. I enjoy People in Planes myself.

All 19 Tracks Available For File Sharing Beginning September 10
Los Angeles, CA (September 10, 2008) – Today, Marillion become the first band anywhere in the world to release their new album, Happiness Is the Road, legally using P2P (Peer to Peer) internet networks for distribution.
Widely recognized as the first band to truly embrace the internet’s potential to interact with fans since circa 1996, Marillion have taken the step of partnering with internet technology company, Music Glue, to harness the legal use of P2P sites and release their 15th studio album, Happiness Is The Road.
With more than 90% of all acquired music in the UK being downloaded or shared via P2P websites according to the IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry), Music Glue’s technology creates a unique interactive band-to-fan interface mechanism that does not normally exist at the point of download.

Jessica: “Really need to Twitter this!” (sitting at the Robert Plant Concert)
Sparky: “What the Hell is Twitter?” (sitting next to me at the Robert Plant concert)
Twitter is what some call “Social Messaging.” It’s a service where you can stalk track your friend’s move, at least the ones they want you to know about. People usually post where they are going, what they are doing, or just things they find interesting on the net. It’s a great little tool for bloggers or people with lots of friends.
The problem is if too many people, or if only 2 of your were to go ahead and sign up, on Twitter the servers go down. The guys at Twitter haven’t learned to grow with all their users yet, so sometimes it’s frustrating to use. Since Jeff Bezos of Amazon has invested in the company maybe they will be able to pay more people to scale it.
The big talk is that not many outside the Tech Sector or Silicon Valley know about Twitter, which I am finding is true. So if you hear that one of your friends Twitter, don’t worry its not a disease yet, just an obsession.
You can find me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/jessicaemmerich.
