Three's a crowd (of exciting things)
That would be three websites which you may or may not find as exciting as I do.
For starters, there's Derek Webb's NoiseTrade.com, which is an excellent place to find some cool new music, for free! Or, even better, you can pay whatever you want for the download, and 90% of the money you pay goes directly to the artist.
My personal recommendations? Derek's The Ringing Bell album, Sandra McCracken's Gravity | Love (which includes a cool tribute song to George Harrison), Sixpence None the Richer's new EP, My Dear Machine (that's right, they're making music again!!!), and Katie Herzig's Apple Tree album (I hadn't heard of her either, but the album is EXCELLENT).
Secondly, there's DrHorrible.com, Joss Whedon's new (and very temporary) Internet mini-series. It's a combination musical/superhero movie/comedy/tragedy, and as such is incredibly fun to watch. There are three Acts, with a total of about 45 minutes. It's being pitched as a proof-of-concept for the production and distribution of low-budget, high-quality film/TV. I really think it accomplishes that purpose quite well. There will probably be a DVD release eventually, but it's streaming for free now, at least until tomorrow at midnight. Check it out.
Thirdly, apparently there might be a second season of Firefly in the works. Since this is the most exciting thing in TV news since....
I've been sitting here for two minutes and can't figure out how to complete that statement, so I'm just gonna abandon that track.
Anyway, check it out at Firefly Season 2 website. Sounds promising, and maybe if enough of us express an interest, something will happen.
