The new TWiT studios (The TWiT Brick House) are almost finished. They’re just getting the final touches because the first live broadcast from there is Sunday July 24.

After messing with it for a few minutes I found Google Music to be easier then Amazon because you can automatically add a lot of free songs so you can begin streaming right away.
