Sorry for the delay, folks.

In this installment, Allen and Mike expound upon the future of sports TV programming with the ESPN-COMCAST hook-up for hockey games as a discussion point. We follow that up with some chatter on Yahoo Music's (mostly) permanent low-low pricing for music subscriptions; and finally we go after the Oakland A's. We use the adjective "short-sighted" a lot in that last entry.

I don't think this family act is part of the official "Music Under New York" series, but they set the Times Square subway station ablaze with some amazing drumming. Sort of a low-rent version of "Stomp."

After the guitar smashing, the crowd swelled in front of the Hard Rock Café. Some folks said that Bruce Springsteen was leaving the building, but it was Little Steven (aka Steve Van Zandt) standing in front doing some obligatory interviews. Like millions of others, I know Van Zandt as Silvio Dante from The Sopranos.

Well, it was just dumb luck. We were walking up Broadway when the crowd outside Viacom headquarters--home of MTV--was beginning to erupt. TRL (Total Request Live) was being filmed in the studio that faces Broadway, and the guest was 50 Cent. 50 Cent is in town after his concert last night at Madison Square Garden.
