Truly, there is no connection between the deal that Apple made with EMI and this video that I never knew existed by The Toadies[wiki], but I’m stoked about both. Does this mean the end of DRM as we know it? If I could tell you that, I’d be rich.
The Toadies were the band that I saw at my first, real rock show, and I totally dig the hockey jersey Lisa is wearing in this video. In fact, she was wearing one when I saw them play in Davenport, Iowa, but it might have been a Blackhawks jersey. Regardless, she was an intense presence on stage. They broke up about two years back, but The Toadies played a show together in Texas over the past St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Reunion? Remains to be seen.

You should read the post on Insomnia Radio about the details of this ‘deal.’ Once again, through the cult of Apple, consumers are wow’ed by the presentation, but pay little attention to the details. Higher cost files…rigid file system (AAC).
