It's dreary wet day here in Vermont as the remnants of Katrina pass through. A great to day to take a (link) dump: HYDERABAD, India (Reuters) - An Indian petty thief and illicit liquor pedlar has notched up a record of sorts, his 100th prison sentence. A court in Hyderabad, capital of the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, jailed 25-year-old Gopal Singh for one month, police said. "Mr. Singh has spent his prime 13 years behind bars," police inspector Shankar Reddy ...

Just another quick note for you punk rawkin' scenesters out there. Senses Fail is making their way back to Higher Ground in South Burlington this coming October, 26th. They'll be with The Early November, Saves the Day and Say Anything. I will probably be there, so come along and have some fun. Against Me will be showing up at Higher Ground on the 20th of September. They will be playing with The Epoxies, Smoke or Fire, and The Soviettes, so if ...

Hey all, don't know why Google won't open GMail to the public rather then giving out 100 invites to each current user. This means I have about 500-600 invites, so if you would like yourself some of the worlds best free webmail let me know! :) Also I have invites for Google exclusive social network; known as Orkut. If you would like an invite to there let me know. I also have invites for Microsofts extremely exclusive social networking website; Wallop. ...

The Shortwave Set - Slingshot The Debt Collection / Independiente Ltd. / The debut album from south-east London's Shortwave Set sounds like a sonic tour round the best cafes on the planet: solo John Lennon performed at formica-tabled booths in an inner-city greasy spoon, or a half-remembered song in a seaside chippie where the windows are smeared with vinegar and regret. In reality, Andrew Petitt, Swedish singer and guitarist Ulrike Bjorsne and David Farrell all live in the now (relatively) arty Deptford, and ...

Another week of fun and excitement at the 'Ol TinyCorral. I'm feeling much refreshed even though I worked on stuff all weekend. The farmers market used to take so much out of me. Wrapping up the stellastarr* promo merch today and then it's off to NYC for god knows what. It will be interesting see how they put it to use. Their single is starting to get more airplay which is cool. I'm hoping to catch them on this tour ...

Market Fresh? - No more Saturday farmers market for Tinymeat. At least for the foreseeable future. Too many politics with people selling wool this and wooden bowls that. Yeah, like the world needs more of that shit when every "Made in Vermont" tourist-schlockfest is already hocking garbage from anybody who wishes to hang their sign on the door. No thanks. I have bigger fish to fry and things are consistently rampin' up over at Tiny HQ. Good Bags for Bad Girls ...

What are they afraid of? First to post a comment with the correct answer wins a prize! Bevs gave me a gift certicate to Neighborhoodies back in June and still have yet to make up my mind with all the options available. What I really want is a brown zip-up hoodie w/ cream lettering on the left breast/pocket area proclaiming my mantra and favorite Pixies song. "Gigantic, Gigantic, Gigantic a big big love" Can’t reach the subway bar? Rather not touch it? ...

This little badboy is the Firefly mobile phone for pre-tweens. It's everywhere in the press this week as big retailers like Target go after the parents and kids that are fascinated by small shiny (and in this case, glowing) objects. The coolest feature of this pint-size squawk-box besides it's diminutive size is the stripped down keypad. That's right just three call buttons, Mom, Dad and 911. Plus it's programmed by the parental units to only accept incoming calls from those ...

The other day I mentioned that Tiny is producing some exclusive merch for the upcoming stellastarr* release "Harmonies for the Haunted". Well all systems are go and here's a sneak peak at the super duper rare promo wallets. The really cool part is that there are 20 of them and each is signed by the band. More details soon. Check out their first single - Sweet Troubled Soul "Harmonies for the Haunted" drops Sept. 13

ProductShopNYC has some bits on two of my favorite trainwrecks, Courtney Love and Natasha Lyonne. It doesn't get any better than this kids. Natasha Lyonne is fighting for her life in a Manhattan hospital, after being found with hepatitis C, a heart infection and a collapsed lung, reports TV Guide Online. The New York Post says that Lyonne was also found with track marks, and is undergoing methadone treatment, typically used to help heroin users. The new Goldfrapp CD "Supernature" has been dubbed ...

Mice Parade - Focus on the Rollercoaster Obrigado Saudade / Fatcat Records The title of Mice Parade’s third album on FatCat is a Portuguese phrase, which roughly translates as ‘thank you nostalgia’. That said, ‘saudade’ is an untranslatable term rooted in the Lusophone world, where the history of slavery, continental migrations and maritime exploration lend a whole new depth to longing and loss. It’s a concept that demonstrates Mice Parade’s interest in that which lies between language and feeling, those half forms ...

I don't know if you guys are into podcasts whether it be creating or just listening to them, but lately I've really been getting into them. They're get things to listen to while working on servers or just when browsing the web or browsing the web.

Another nutty weekend and the beginning of a crazy week here at the TinyHQ as things are really starting to heat up. More stores, more projects and the rollout of the new iPod Mini cases. Those who signed up on the "Buddy List" recieved an email featuring the first 3 of 12 case designs. I'll be putting those up in the Tinystore next weekend and 3 more every week for the next month. Here's where you can sign up: Join the ...
