the premiere of abc's new show alias (you know, the one with the commercial that makes the show look like run lola run: the series by using music from the movie and having a red-headed female protagonist running around) is going to run commercial-free in "a first for ABC". uh, not if you count the premiere of gideon's crossing last year.

alanis morissette apparently chastised the music industry for dropping the ball on online music. (to put it nicely.) the quote from gerry kearby is pretty telling: "the real issue is around price." translation: the record labels have to figure out how they can raise prices again with the introduction of this new delivery model, like they did with compact discs (which are cheaper to make, and more widely made, than tapes, yet still cost more).
