Wordpress upgrades never cease to amaze me

Every time I upgrade Wordpress, I always get a little treat. This might have been included in previous versions, but I just noticed it with my upgrade from 2.0.2 to 2.0.4 - the Backup plugin. All you do is activate it, go to Manage, click Backup, tell it where to go (I chose send by e-mail) and click Backup. 10 seconds later and I hate a fresh backup in my gmail inbox! That makes me smile! :-D

Spin Mag’s “52 Next Big Things”

I basically just wanted to post this for my own future reference so I can return Trey’s magazine back to him…

Spin Magazine published an article in their March 2006 issue called “The Next Big Things” that caught my attention. I’m always appriciative when I can find new music that sounds good, so I’ve been planning to check out some of these bands to see if they are worth a further listen. Problem is, I haven’t found the time yet and I still have my friend’s magazine! So, I’m going to try and list all the bands they have so I can use this post as a reference.

  • Secret Machines
  • Saigon
  • The Dresden Dolls
  • Matisyahu
  • The Subways
  • Autolux
  • Giant Drag
  • The Like
  • The Vacation
  • The 88
  • 8-bit
  • Cold War Kids
  • Dengue Fever
  • Devics
  • The Good Listeners
  • Inara George
  • Silversun Pickups
  • Richard Swift
  • Vagenius
  • Art Brut
  • Motion City Soundtrack (already in the process of checking them out from their single “Everything is Alright”)
  • Love Is All
  • Black Mountain
  • Mylo
  • Torche
  • Noisettes
  • The Plastic Constellations
  • The Rakes
  • Mystery Jets
  • Lavender Diamond
  • Mystery Jets
  • A Life Once Lost
  • Vitalic
  • The Nice Boys

The doesn’t look like 52, but that’s enough for me.
