Elevation Partners

While doing some research on Palm, Inc for a client this past week I ran across some interesting information. I found that Bono, from the band U2, is the man behind an investment group / private equity firm called Elevation Partners. They are currently working on a recapitalization plan with Palm, Inc that will effectively make them a 25% shareholder in the company. So what does this all mean? Maybe some cool U2 exclusives in the future for Palm Treo users.

Websites: BandToBand.com

This site is amazing! Someone either has way too much time on their hands or decided to make a school project exceptionally cool. This site will connect the dots between musicians / bands and show you their family tree.

Everyone knows that (Soundgarden + Rage Against The Machine) - Any Musical Substance = Audioslave, but did you know that there is a connection between U2 and Nirvana or one between The Clash and Weezer. Interesting....

Check out groups like: Helmet, Soundgarden, Green Day, Pearl Jam, and Guns N Roses

Cover Songs: Cake - "War Pigs"

Recently I was reading a CD review/news blurb online at TheDeciblog.com and found this video. The video is a cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" by Cake. The video is amateur, but the recording is excellent. Enjoy!

Ebay: Crazy Auctions = Crazy Cash

This past week I have been listing quite a few CDs on Ebay. The whole goal is to consolidate the CD collection and archive everything to MP3. What has been amazing is the amount of money people are paying for some of the CDs that I have been listing. I had a CD by a band called Mindless Self Indulgence sell for $115 this evening!!! It's Amazing. Not a bad price for something that was sent to me for free when I was working radio!

Check out the auction here:

Gotta make this blog look kickin'

The last two nights I have been working with a couple of different layouts/templates for my new blog. When I played with color schemes I finally concluded that I need to create some new graphics. So.... I will go back to the drawing board and see what happens.

Up & Running (okay...Jogging)

So here it is..... my second attempt at blog. The previous try can be found at http://jeffbilberry.wordpress.com
Darci got a "family" blog up and running and I became just a little envious, so here I am. Enjoy!
