“Who Is Rie Fu?” Album Riefuiew

I know, I know. You’re sick of hearing about Rie Fu, right? I mean, it’s been pretty difficult to avoid the huge promotion for her English debut album - “Who Is Rie Fu?”. Turn on the TV, she’s there. Turn on the radio, her song will be playing. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had trouble getting her tunes out of my head with all the airplay she’s been getting.

And as for the high street, holy cow! Her album isn’t due for release until the 3rd March, and as early as last month I began seeing huge posters in the HMV windows. Clearly Britain is caught up in Rie-fever.

But is all this critical acclaim and media coverage justified? To find out, I had a look at her forthcoming album in a track-by-track analysis, to see what the fuss is all about.

Bones - “Aliens in a spaceship” Fan Video

So I made a fan video made using clips from Bones (Season 2 - “Aliens in a spaceship”). The song is “Hallelujah” by Jeff Buckley, though you probably recognised it already.

Quote(s) of the day:

“My songs of the day are so lesbian today.”

“Jamie made a video. It’s a fan video. For Bones. I don’t watch Bones.”

Does iTunes lose your artwork?

With the release of the latest iPod nano, classic and the all new touch - all of which have the Cover Flow feature from iTunes - it’s clear that Apple are keen to make artwork a popular means of browsing your music libraries. Just one friggin’ problem - iTunes randomly loses your artwork.

Take The Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks Here’s The Sex Pistols. I know for a fact that I downloaded the artwork for this album. Imagine my surprise frustration when I loaded it up to find it missing.

This isn’t actually the first time this has occured. It’s happening on a regular basis, with the iTunes updates having no effect whatsoever.

When I first got my iPod classic, I went through the tediously long procedure of finding the artwork for as many albums as a could (no iTunes account = no downloading artwork from Apple) and applying them. This should be a task that any iPod owner only has to endure once. Clearly iTunes has other ideas.

So, I’m interested to know if there are many other people out their with lost artwork. Are there any fixes for this bug? Is this a problem across both Windows and OS X? Comment me.
