Just in case you don't regularly check out the 'Free Single Of The Week' on iTunes (like I do....NERD!), today's download is the bees knees.
It's from a British band called 'Graffiti6' and they've just released their debut album called 'Colours' (notice the spelling??? Nice). They've got this soul / pop/ funk sound. If you like Jamie Lidell you'll enjoy this. The tune is called 'Free' and here's what it sounds like:



The guy kinda looks like Nick Lachey from 98 Degrees... no? But don't hold that against him.

Sooooo, you likey? Download it off iTunes for NADA today :)

Enjoy!

Nickelback = Nickelblock

I'm not a fan of Nickelback. I know some people passionately detest them, but this is taking it to a whole new level!
I just found out about this free service you can download called 'Nickelblock'. What this does is eliminate all mentions and traces of Chad Kroeger and co when you're surfing the internet.

I don't know...is this wise? After all, they've just released a brand new album soooooo.... ;D

Here's that site and yes, it's safe.
