   Composer Trevor Jones brings “The League of Extraordinary Gentleman” (opening today) to life with a thunderous original score featuring the London Symphony Orchestra and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. No physical CDs of the soundtrack available anywhere in the US, you’ll find this digital-only album exclusively at the iTunes Music Store (requires iTunes 4).   Go through musical boot camp with Bowling for Soup in their new music video, “Punk Rock 101.” It’s the second single from their sophomore Jive Records album, “Drunk Enough To Dance.” Hungry for more Bowling for Soup videos? Just push “7” on the candy machine. Find more Bowling for Soup at the iTunes Music Store.  It’s la creme De La Soul. What could be better than 15 years’ worth of righteously remastered singles from Long Island’s classic hip-hop trio? It’s all here, from “Potholes in my Lawn” to “Baby Phat.” De La Soul’s “Timeless: The Singles Collection” also features mixes and guest spots by Common, Redman, Chaka Khan, and more. Join the listening party through July 14.  Step back in time and hear Ethel Waters belt a jazz-baby version of “Heat Wave,” a bluesy Mildred Bailey singing “Rockin’ Chair,” and Rosemary Clooney lamenting those low-down “Blues In The Night.”  In its critically-acclaimed new concept album, “De-Loused In the Comatorium,” The Mars Volta tells the story of a tortured soul who falls into a coma after a suicide attempt. Hear the entire album in a listening party through July 18.  Directed by AV Club, “Show Me How to Live” is the new video from supergroup Audioslave inspired by the classic 1971 car-chase film “Vanishing Point.” Visit the iTunes Music Store, where you’ll find two Audioslave tracks you won’t find anywhere else, as well as the video for “Like a Stone.”   The city of Atlanta has long been a hot breeding ground for urban artists. Keeping in the tradition, Epic’s New Music Mondays presents ATL, a new R&B quartet whose self-titled debut is due on September 9. Listen to ATL’s first single, “Calling All Girls,” through July 14.  In their angst-ridden new music video, Canada’s powerhouse trio Three Days Grace declares, “I Hate Everything about You.” (We didn’t take it personally.)  The British music mag “NME” claims the California band Paloalto is “charging headlong into Radiohead and Coldplay territory.” Watch the video1 for “Fade Out/In” from Paloalto’s new album, “Heroes and Villains” (available at the ITunes Music Store). 1Registration is required to access the content on this non-Apple site. |

If you’re a filmmaker, you want the ability to view and edit your
work at film resolution without having to turn to expensive and
unwieldy proprietary hardware.
Pixlet offers the solution. One of the 100 new features of Mac OS X Panther (shipping later this year), Pixlet is a breakthrough QuickTime codec that delivers frame accuracy at HD resolutions within data rates and files sizes manageable by standard equipment. Providing 20-25:1 compression, this studio-grade codec lets you encode your clips to be played back at half HD resolutions on any Panther-equipped Mac with a 1GHz PowerPC G4 or faster processer.

Watch the 2003 WWDC Keynote presentation and the QuickTime State of the Union videos available on our website.

A note to our readers who like to enjoy their music on the go: If you use your new iPod with a Windows PC equipped with USB 2.0, you’ll want to get the iPod Dock Connector to FireWire and USB 2.0 Cable (now available at the Apple Store). The cable lets you sync your music — at up to 480 mbps — and charge your iPod at the same time. If you attended the recent Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, you probably noticed the huge plasma displays showing the scheduled sessions and various updates and messages. Want to know how they were powered? If you guessed QuickTime, Mac OS X, and Power Mac G4 computers had something to do with it, you’d be right. Read all about it. |
