While perusing deadspin.com the other day I came across the announcement that the Onion News Network (when did The Onion move into videos, I know they always had the AV Club, but a full out online channel?)… where was I… oh yes, the Onion News Network had launched a sports network appropriately titled Onion Sports Network.

Re-coming-again-soon to a Simpleprop.com website near you: It’s The Daily Gambit! You could win fabulous prizes, and the chance to read daily content here! [Ed. Note: it will be the latter. Also, the term 'daily' is used loosely.] So keep your eyes peeled to the Gambit section of the new and improved main site page… more than likely starting post-President’s-day. But of course, don’t hold us to that. 
Howdy folks. We’ve got the space monkeys (aka Alex) working on the latest and greatest site re-design here at SP. Things will be in flux for the near future, so just bear with us if you don’t mind. Things to look forward to under the new regime: longer articles, the triumphant return of The Gambit, flashy video, shiny things, and various other doodads and thingamabobs that we’re sure you’ll like.
So thanks in advance for your patience, and please, watch out for the doozers. They’re here to help.
i discovered imeem.com last summer while desperately searching for a dashboard confessional cover of a weezer song (this one, if you’re interested) that i’d heard years before but wasn’t available through itunes. i expected it to be a hassle– only 30 second snippets, a cost for downloads, annoying pop-up ads, etc, but found nothing of the sort. true, you can only stream the songs (vs downloading), but that’s not unexpected. in addition, the site makes you register after a certain amount of free listens; however, to date i haven’t received one e-mail based off of that registration. (plus, when you register, you’re allowed to create custom playlists of your favorite songs.) from my experience, it’s just like real.com’s Rhapsody player, but without the pesky $14 charge.
