Get a three pack of Sennheiser E604 cardioid clip-on dynamic microphones for only $339.99.

These compact and tough microphones were design with drummers in mind. The fiberglass chassis clip allows to be attached to drum rims or other hardware and absorb impact noise and vibration while recording the drums themselves. These are great for the drummer who has so much stuff , there's little room for mic placement.

This deal from Amazon always makes my Fridays. Here are this weeks deals with the daily deal at the end.

Michael Bublé: It's Time - "Sounding like a mixture between Sinatra and Harry Connick Jr., but with a less distinctive croon, Bublé's clear voice and smooth rhythms keep the CD moving along..." - Oregon Daily Emerald

Pavement: Slanted & Enchanted - "Chosen as #5 on Pitchfork Media's Top 100 Albums of the 1990s (November 2003 Redux); Chosen as #4 on Spin magazine's Top 100 Albums of the Past 20 Years in June 2005; It was also included in the All-Time 100 albums from Time magazine." - Wikipedia

Jimi Hendrix: Are You Experienced - If you don't know about this album, go back into the cave, read the Wiki entry, then buy it.

George Straight: Troubadour - "Three Stars. Troubadour is up to the usual standards, maybe better. There's witty, swaggering honky-tonk ("Make Her Fall in Love With Me Song") and the requisite hot-fiddle swing number ("West Texas Town"). "House of Cash" is a rock-edged duet with Patty Loveless about the blaze that leveled Johnny Cash's family home last year." - Rolling Stone Magazine

Thelonius Monk Quartet with John Coltrane: At Carnegie Hall - "4 Stars. What makes this set such a godsend, nearly fifty years late, is that we hear this brief legendary partnership at its best in a concert-hall setting, in stunning-for-its-day fidelity. Coltrane's future is evident in his high-speed solos in "Sweet and Lovely" and "Evidence"; he rolls around and through Monk's spiked chords and hairpin rolls with daredevil poise." - Rolling Stone Magazine

Today's Amazon Daily Deal on an Mp3 album is comedian Patton Oswalt's Werewolves and Lollipops for only $2.99. Many might already know of Pat Oswalt as the voice of the lead character in Pixar's Ratatouille.

Pitchfork had this to say about it:

Years spent against the stand-up circuit's red-brick walls have given his act the perfectly measured timing and dynamic variation (one joke is "like a Pixies song") lacking in many "alternative" comedians.

Have some serious licks, rippling abs, and a matching leather vest/pants outfit? I thought so. Then maybe you should take advantage of the extended deadline for the Guitar Magazine/Sonicbid's Guitar Superstar contest. Just pay the $10/$14.95 submission fee (depends if you are a member of Sonicbids or not) and send in your best MP3 of yourself or your band.

If you make the cut, you'll get flown out to San Francisco on September 13th to The Great American Music Hall (former brothel goodness and even better nachos) with 9 other finalists for a weekend of wanking and shredding in front of a panel of all star judges who have included Joe Satriani, Steve Howe, and Nuno Bettencourt.

What would make this TRULY spectacular would be a "style" obstacle course where the contestants have to maintain a minimum 16th note guitar solo while pelvic thrusting, doing wind sprints between the drummer's kick drum and stage monitor (a full prop of the leg must be accomplished on each), then jamming the guitar between a drunk lead singer's legs while maintaining a wagging, exposed tongue. The lightning round would be an in-depth debate on the socio-economic effects on escalating gas prices and long term suggestions for China and the U.S. to reduce their dependency on oil from a non-automotive standpoint.

Final deadline: July 20th.
