Radiohead played at the Music Box at the Fonda in Los Angeles last night. Drummer, Phil Segway, announced the show only two days earlier on the bands blog, Dead Air Space. The concert managed to raise $572,754  for the Oxfam Haiti relief fund. Tickets were auctioned off to the highest bidder with the highest bid being $2,000 and the lowest ticket being $475.

Apple Media Event Predictions

Apple-MediaEventSept2009
Apple is holding its annual media event tomorrow, and there are plenty of rumors surrounding the event. Here are our predictions for the big announcements to be made:

  • An iPod Touch update may be announced, with the new model including a built-in camera.
  • Cocktail will be introduced. This is Apple’s digital album format, which we reported on last month in our article on CMX (a similar format under development by all major record labels). Cocktail will include pictures, liner notes, lyrics, and sometimes video in addition to all of the album’s audio tracks.
  • iTunes 9 will be introduced. Major new features will be support for Cocktail (of course), Blu-ray support, social media integration including Twitter and Facebook as well as Last.fm, and visual management of iPhone/iPod Touch Apps. We will possibly see the addition of pre-cut ringtones for sale on the iTunes Store as well.
  • The biggest news will be that Apple and the Beatles (or, more fairly, EMI) are finally playing nice, with a complete re-release of the entire Beatles catalog coming to the iTunes store.
  • The highly rumored tablet Mac will not be introduced. This will almost certainly be announced in January. (Please, please, PLEASE let me be wrong about this!)
