It's embarrassing to admit how long I've spent looking online for single-purpose sound effect sites like Instant Rimshot... and it turns out that it is very difficult to Google for these things. My goal was to present the top 5 sites that exist... but instead you're getting the "top" four.I've covered some of this before, but these sites aren't bad.
It's kinda crazy, looking at this list, how many of these people I've gotten to work with...This is always fun. Follow the link below to see who voices some of our favorite cartoon characters.read more | digg story
I'm silly stoked about this game. I was a huge fan of the original Fallout, and the reviews of Fallout 3
have been incredibly high. The gaming industry just continues it's meteoric rise. I think the industry will be pretty recession proof, as gaming is fun and relatively inexpensive.Last week's launch of Bethesda Softworks' "After-the-Bomb" role-playing game Fallout 3 was, appropriately enough, explosive. The publisher took a victory lap today by announcing some early statistics for the game. Bethesda said that it shipped roughly 4.7 million copies of Fallout 3 around the world last week.
What a week...The father of the dinosaurs in JURASSIC PARK, of THE TERMINATOR, of PUMPKINHEAD, PREDATOR, the Monsters in MONSTER SQUAD, and of course ALIENS, has passed on.read more | digg story

We are aware that you have been assisting owners of our Creative sound cards for some time now, by providing unofficial driver packages for Vista that deliver more of the original functionality that was found in the equivalent XP packages for those sound cards. In principle we don't have a problem with you helping users in this way, so long as they understand that any driver packages you supply are not supported by Creative. Where we do have a problem is when technology and IP owned by Creative or other companies that Creative has licensed from, are made to run on other products for which they are not intended. We took action to remove your thread because, like you, Creative and its technology partners think it is only fair to be compensated for goods and services. The difference in this case is that we own the rights to the materials that you are distributing. By enabling our technology and IP to run on sound cards for which it was not originally offered or intended, you are in effect, stealing our goods. When you solicit donations for providing packages like this, you are profiting from something that you do not own. If we choose to develop and provide host-based processing features with certain sound cards and not others, that is a business decision that only we have the right to make.
Although you say you have discontinued your practice of distributing unauthorized software packages for Creative sound cards we have seen evidence of them elsewhere along with donation requests from you. We also note in a recent post of yours on these forums, that you appear to be contemplating the release of further packages. To be clear, we are asking you to respect our legal rights in this matter and cease all further unauthorized distribution of our technology and IP. In addition we request that you observe our forum rules and respect our right to enforce those rules. If you are in any doubt as to what we would consider unacceptable then please request clarification through one of our forum moderators before posting.

The so-called "Mosquito" device emits high-frequency noise which is audible — and annoying — to young ears, but generally not heard by people over 20.OK, so I've seen stories about these for a while. I would really hope that shop owners don't really buy this idea that only people under 20 can hear them. I'm almost 30 and these things drive me batty. Insta-headache.
It’s perfectly legal, but it will still seem to some listeners like the sound of someone making off with England’s crown jewels.
Forty years and more after the Beatles changed rock music forever, their songs have truly arrived in the 21st century as part of the rap/hip-hop art form — with the express permission of their publishers. Although there are hundreds of covers of ”Yesterday,” “Something” and the rest, this approach of ”interpolation” — essentially rerecording a portion of a song — of the Beatles’ compositions represents new access to the most famous catalogue in the world. These developments may ultimately signal a fresh attitude toward Beatles masters appearing in everything from commercials to movies.

Well the pic is actually from a speech he gave at Harvard, but close enough right?Earlier this month the creator of "Family Guy" and active WGA member Seth MacFarlane gave an impassioned speech at Fox Plaza in Century City in front of 4,000 fellow striking writers guild members in witch he lambasted Fox and other Hollywood studios for not paying the creators of profitable content what they are due.
Sometimes, when a musician is away from his or her craft for a while and returns, everything falls back into place. Sometimes, though, the song they release makes you want to go back in time and kill their parents, as we've seen with Britney Spears' attempt at a comeback, "Gimme More." These songs are further examples of the latter...
No doubt as a reaction to all the bad press he's been giving record labels, Universal/Interscope has relieved Trent Reznor of his contractual duties. As of today, Nine Inch Nails is working without a useless money-grubbing middleman and going straight to the fans. The revolution continues...read more | digg story

"A Toot and a Snore in '74 is a rare bootleg album of the final recording session in which John Lennon and Paul McCartney played together, which gained wider prominence when McCartney made reference to the session in a 1997 interview. This is the only known post-Beatles recording of Lennon and McCartney, it has become something of a collector’s item..."Click on the READ MORE link to check out Licorice Pizza's write up, Wikipedia article, and links to the actual recordings.
