Too bad the clip is so short that we have no idea wether or not the song is
any good. If she'd make the files mono 64k .MP3s she'd probably be able to
get at least 45 seconds in the same amount of space that she's only getting
5 seconds as a .WAV and people would be better able to judge her works. A
five second sample just isn't enough time to give justice to a full song.
Hmmm... I should probably E-mail her this and invite her to join Alloy while
I'm at it.

I saw the movie last week (having a 4 year old daughter figures
heavily into such decisions <g>) and was surprised to hear a Dolby
cover in Jimmy Neutron . . . but, then, that just speaks to Dolby's
continuing reverberation underneath the surface of pop (or is that
pulp?) culture. ;) Some of it is obscured in the movie itself, but
I'd know that bass line anywhere.
It was cute enough a movie to see with a 4 year old, but don't know
about seeing it otherwise. ;)
