DESCRIPTION:
After a long hiatus, we are back with a ton of news and contributions from MIX, plus we're announcing our licensing partnership with the good folks at Revision3! This week's FU is served by Jonathan Coulton, the ultimate geek rock star.

SHOW NOTES:
We've also got music stars afraid of the Internet, music stars using video games to sell records, we take a look at music-sharing tools like Muxtape and Mixwit, and we hear your thoughts about the problems with global communication. The FU is back!

[jetsetshow]

Thanks so much guys!! It's soooo good to be back! :)

[mckrakin]

Was there some sort of falling out with Next New Networks?

[jetsetshow]

no falling out -- we're still good friends with everyone there. we just went our separate ways. but they are great partners with great shows.

[skyrere]

I love jonathan coulton... he is so awesome

[marotblat]

FU is BACK! YAYYYY!

[TheRetroZombie]

My question is who the fuck buys music these days? Especially from Itunes. If I was going to buy music it would be from artists that I love and getting the actual CD like having a collection. LONG LIVE PIRATE BAY! Because do what you want 'cause a pirate is free. YOU ARE A PIRATE!

[kennedy1134]

ooh michael jackson...

[Bloodsaberxy]

very nice, JC in this

you stared at his guitar so deeply

[Warhead182]

How to make money as a Musician?

Easy, L2P

[ttuuiio]

JETSHOW SUCKS. All you geeks needs to get a LIFE.

[Ken14Z]

guitar hero is just milking the franchise, which is good for them.. I mean they're making tons of money.

There are ways to progress the franchise more than they did, but they really haven't figured it out other than "Hey let's do -these- songs this time, a lot of people like those."

That's just how music games go, gallumhrasha.

[gallumhrasha]

guitarhero is becoming epic fail, the franchise sucked after guitar hero 2

[wbritstyle]

hah, Prince whining bout his bootleged radiohead bootleg? please.

[mythmanjay]

"ermmmmmmmmmmm ... Strong with The Force this one is ... yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhs ..."
