iTunes in the Cloud: You get exactly what you paid for.

Following after the Apple WWDC 2011 Keynote, I obsessively refreshed iTunes 10.3 download page. Not until later in the evening the download actually happened. Immediately I checked all of the purchased songs and music videos from iTunes Store. As expected all past purchases of iTunes plus songs are DRM-free, while the ones I never upgraded still has the DRM.

Apple is doing something right for the consumer, especially for those who had catastrophic hard-drive failure and without any backups.

Let’s see how far iCloud will go.

Megadeth Starts Working On Its Thirteenth Studio Release.

Dave Mustaine announces through his Twitter account that Megadeth is working on its thirteenth studio release.

Day 1. Rolling in the Vanquish on a perfect day. Today starts my 13th studio release. Adrenaline’s high. Pray for Victory!

The follow up to 2009’s “Endgame” marks the return of Megadeth’s co-founding member and bass player David Ellefson. Presumably Megadeth will be recording the new release at Vic’s Garage, a home studio built in Mustaine’s own San Diego Home.

It’s official, Dream Theater announces Mike as their new drummer, replacing their old drummer Mike. That’s Mike Mangini who replaces Mike Portnoy.

The audition process was documented with title “The Spirit Carries On” and can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/roadrunnerrecords.

For those in Germany can view the videos here:

For sure the rest of the band would have no problem calling their new drummer the wrong name. It has always been Mike. Eddie Trunks knew this for a while.
