Radiohead King Of Limbs


Radiohead is back. In the typical Radiohead fashion, the band informed the public about the new album, The King Of Limbs just five days before it's release and then released the album a day early. The album may be the band's most abstract release to date. Which for Radiohead is saying a lot. For avid fans, the thirty-seven minute escape will offer a whole new connection to the band. However the chorus-free and sans-guitar riff concoction will push any casual listener or critic even further away. Available now digitally ($9-$14) and for pre-order in a physical "Newspaper Format"($48-$53) set for release in early May.

Crazy For The Storm: A Memoir of Survival

Crazy For The Storm: A Memoir Of Survival
In Crazy For The Storm ($17), Norman Ollestad recalls a true and life altering story:
“On February 19, 1979, I was in a plane crash with my father; his girlfriend, Sandra; and the pilot of our chartered Cessna. Sandra was 30 years old. My dad was 43. I was 11. Just after sunrise, we slammed into a rugged 8,600-foot mountain engulfed in a blizzard. By the end of our nine-hour ordeal, I was the only survivor.”
The book is not only a story of survival having used the lessons his father had taught him at an early age, but also a look into a larger-than-life relationship between an FBI agent and his son.

Sigma DP2


New on the scene, the Sigma DP2 ($649) has the look and feel of a compact point and shoot but produces quality only found in today's SLR's. The 14-megapixel camera is packed with new technology from its full-scale sensor (about 7 times larger than a 1 - 1.8-inch sensor used in a conventional digital compact) to its integral lens and 3-layer direct image sensor, the DP2 might have give our bulky Nikon D40 some rest.
