3Hive today writes a review of The Prids . and since this blog (and Zune actually) is about sharing and discovering music, I'm posting about The Prids. So check 'em out! I noticed that they're not hitting Seattle on their tour . If you are in The Prids and are reading this, can you change your mind? We have nice people that would like you ;) Right?

A while back I wrote that we'd have more Zune preload artists to announce in the coming weeks. Well Richard and I just got the green light from our friends at Beggars to post that Norwegian phenoms Serena-Maneesh will come preloaded on Zune. Not familiar w/ Serena-Maneesh? Check out their video for "Drain Cosmetics." Sweet. Also, I'm loving the Zune haikus . Since I forgot to tell you when the contest ends, let's say. . . it ends at 12:00 am this Friday, 1 September (Pacific time). Good...

I just got my hands on a stack of ten stickers with the Zune logo: And I'd love to give them all to you. But there's a catch. You've got to write a Zune haiku. And your Zune haiku has to be the best Zune haiku I've ever seen. And if your Zune haiku is the best Zune haiku I've ever seen, I'll both publish it on this blog and send you the stickers. Leave your Zune haiku in the comments. Be sure to include your email so I can get the stickers to you. Have fun! Edit Tuesday 3:25 PM: The Zune haiku contest...

So I come into the office today and I have about 1000 emails linking to this FCC report . And many of you have asked for comment. The report is legitimate. Toshiba is our manufacturing partner for Zune. As for the report, I’m not able to confirm or comment on the specific details right now. But know that Zune details (the full feature set, the bona fide UI, etc, etc) are coming in the next few weeks.
