Red band trailer for The Happening
I've seen it. Unfortunately. One of the worst films I've ever seen. If the plot wasn't bad/ridiculous enough, the acting by pretty much all the characters was dire. Avoid.- ozstrike

BBC - Radio 2 - Paul Morley's Guide To Musical Genres I'm not sure if it's still online or not, but last week there was an awesome program pretty much dedicated to post-rock. It showed how it began, and played a few songs, and had an interview with Mogwai. He listed Talk Talk and Slint as... -
Site that notifies when an artist has a new release?
Myspace kinda does a similar thing for me. Not the best solution though. -
Bands similar to the Postal Service?

iTune Store
AFAIK itunes doesn't sell lossless downloads. You'd haveto settle for the low quality stuff they have on there, or find a better source. -

If you like the appleseed cast, definately try out Moving Mountains. Pneuma is by far my favourite album of the year so far.
