Songs & Such: "I Could be Wrong" by Vigilantes of Love
With the plugs out of the way, lets move onto the song for this week, “I Could be Wrong” from the Summershine album. The album Summershine is an interesting album because it is definitely unlike anything Bill Mallonee or Vigilantes of Love had done previously. The album is a brit-pop album, plain and simple. The band abandoned the Americana sound just this once to write “an album of love songs” focusing on the happy rather than the sad side of life. Continue reading

EMI Reports DRM-Free Sales are Doing Well
