Hipstamatic iPhone App

Hipstamatic iPhone App
Make every picture look better. This simple App allows you to take incredible pictures with your iPhone. For $1.99 you get the basic package, which has more than enough to take your pics from boring to artsy. There are numerous filters, flashes, and effects that makes it look like you took your picture with a specialty camera instead of your iPhone. I'm not a huge fan of paying for apps, but this one is worth it.

Grooveshark

Grooveshark - Listen to Free Music
I've officially made the switch. Pandora was my online music player of choice, but recently I've been loving Grooveshark. It can be a bit of a challenge to find full albums, but you can't beat GS for individual songs. Especially those hard to find singles. Create an account so that you can save playlists, or just listen to songs with zero commitment.

Best Coast - Crazy for You

Best Coast - Crazy for You
Ranked # 14 on Spin Magazine's Top 40 of 2010, Crazy for You by Best Coast is a chill Cali album featuring lead singer Bethany Cosentino.  If you're looking for a relaxed female sound with simple catchy lyrics then this is the album for you.  Think Liz Phair meets Pete Yorn on Manhattan Beach.  On almost every album I've ever reviewed it's easy to pick a song or two to feature, this time it was more difficult.  Every song is pretty similar and none are particularly memorable.  Listen to this album on grooveshark or pandora, but don't bother picking it up.  Click below for Up All Night.

Two lawyers are taking the world of DC and Marvel into the legal arena and answering your questions with technical and accurate legal responses.

Florence & The Machine

Florence & The Machine - Lungs
Without question one of the best albums of 2010. Starting with the commercial hit Dog Days are Over and following through with Kiss With a Fist and Between Two Lungs this album doesn't miss. It's a collection of catchy beats, incredible lyrics, and is strung together with a common sound. If you're going to buy one album this year that isn't on the Top 40, this is it.
