It's been a while since I compile some music news at news.weheartmusic.com. The theme of this post is "apple".
THE APPLES IN STEREO
www.applesinstereo.com ♥ myspace.com
I'm not smart enough to understand what the leader of The Apples in stereo, Robert Schneider, is saying on his The Non-Pythagorean Music Scale when he created something new... but what I can tell you is that he's very down-to-earth, as I had a comic book discussion with him. If you are interested in downloading all the tones and beeps from the scale, I've included the embed information on how to get the free download.
Really, what a crap name.
I really don't understand why people really, really hate this thing. Haven't you ever used your iphone and wished you had a bigger device? I'm sorry, but watching movies on a small screen on your phone is not a great experience.
What about GPS and maps ? Oh man, it would be so nice to have it on such a large surface. Imagine playing air hockey or RPG games on it.
I'm really looking forward to getting comic books on it. It has a color screen, compared to the crappy Kindle (which I don't understand why people love their one-trick kindle).
The smart money would be to wait for Gen 2 of the iPad, so... I'm going to wait it out (even though I would love to get the iPad as quickly as possible).
A STAR FOR STARR
ringostarr.com
Ex-Apple Records recording artist, Ringo Starr, finally got his own star on the Hollywood Walk-of-Fame.
You can watch the event the entire Ringo Starr Hollywood Star event on various websites (try ringostarr.com and thebeatles.com).
As you can see from the photo, Starr looks really happy. What I really want to know is what is Ben Harper doing there ?
Ringo's entire 2010 Tour Dates as follow:
SWEET APPLE

The last time I heard about Dinosaur Jr was that they played on "Play"boy.com's music thing.
I'm not sure if the band broke up, but I just found out that singer/guitarist J Mascis is now in a band called Sweet Apple.
You can read more about them on and if you want to hear a song by them, head over to pitchfork.

Anyway, using his new music scale, The Apples in stereo will produce "the first pop song ever written with this new scale" on their upcoming record called Travellers in Space and Time, out on April 20th on Yep Roc/Simian/Elephant 6. Incidentally, the title sounds to me like it's taken from astronomy-obsessed Patrick Moore.
Of course, with the new record, it means new tour dates. The last time they played, one of my favorite song ("What's the #") was stuck at the encore. I am hoping they continue to have that song on their set.
