iTunes Alert: FPM Live From Tokyo

My iTunes alert went off this morning, and I know some people will be interested in this one.

[Fantastic Plastic Machine](http://www.fpmnet.com/) played the Apple Store in Ginza back on 3/21. The resulting iTunes album – 5 tracks, $4.95 – [is available on the US store](http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=252161473&s=143441). Knowing how rarely FPM material appears on the US store, and how frequently it disappears later, you might want to jump on this now.

Track listing:

  1. Xiang Xiang vs. Strings In Heaven
  2. Dance Dance Dance Dance vs. Tell Me
  3. Never Ever vs. Love Is Psychedelic
  4. Fanfare (Tahiti 80 Mix) [Fpm Live Edit]
  5. Medley: Why Not? / City Lights (Fpm Samba Mix) / Beautiful Days

FPM fans should not pass this one up. Nor should anyone who enjoys high quality dance music.

Coda

Panic may now hold a record for fastest conversion cycle with me now that they’ve released Coda.

To echo comments I’ve made to a friend, it’s what iWeb should have been.

If you have a Mac, and you do anything resembling web design or programming, you need to at least give this a spin.

This Is What You’re Doing Friday Night

Bootie – the “Best Mashup Party In The USA” (as per Complex Magazine) – is coming to NYC for a second go-round. I didn’t even know they had been here the first time – but now I do!

And what’s more, the man they call [PARTY BEN](http://partyben.com/) is guest DJing.

Need more info? [Here you go.](http://www.bootienyc.com/) Make sure you RSVP for the discount.

Thanks to [A+D](http://www.rebeldjs.com/) for giving me the heads up. You folks are too nice. (And I’m going to be rocking out to [Beethoven’s Fifth Gold Digger](http://www.rebeldjs.com/AplusD_BeethovensFifthGoldDigger.mp3) for the next month.)
