Rifflet is an interesting site. Say you have a beat laid down with a drum machine or a guitar riff, maybe an unfinished song. You upload it to rifflet.com where others take what you have and add it to their own unfinished songs. Presto, music collaboration. Kind of a Twitter for music. All samples are free to share as well. Check out Rifflet.com.

You may have heard but the new album by Wilco, titled WILCO (the album) has been leaked on the internet. But, you don’t have to find that copy as Wilco has made the album streamable at the above link. Their latest opens with a song called Wilco, which is completely rocking and is a tribute to their fans. So far I’m pretty positive on the record. But I’m only about three songs in.

Wilco the band will take Wilco (The Album) on the road this summer, highlighted with performances at both Bonnaroo and the 10,000 Lakes Festival.

There was a time when album art was cool. Now, we are stuck with the digital download where cover art simply doesn’t exist. It really hasn’t been around since the LP went away, but at least CD’s had something to offer rather than just the disc. Anyway, there is some cool album art that is in existance. And some is even being made today. Check out Album Art Exchange, dedicated to collecting and sharing meticulously scanned and edited album cover art.
