The 404 442: Where we've won the Nobel Peace Prize even though we've done nothing...yet
It's the end of the week! It's also Audio Draft Time, and this might raise a little bit of controversy. It's Matt and Kim, an Indie pop band from Williamsburg, New York City. Nope this isn't Justin's pick; it's Wilson's. Strange, no?

We check out their tracks "Daylight" and "Yea Yeah." We apologize beforehand for the overdriven audio. It may not be your cup of tea, but Wilson assures us they are great in concert and just lots of fun. On a further note, they will be touring with Weezer in the coming days.
On today's show, we check out an outrageous iPhone app, where you actually have to lick the screen to play the game. The premise of the app is to lick off the food on your plate. Without getting too detailed, we come up with a couple of other apps that might take advantage of this lick-touch-screen idea. Just be sure to wrap up your iPhone before you partake.
We also check out a study that says HDTVs are mostly a placebo effect to most users. Now, we admit this study didn't compare a SDTV next to a HDTV, but we know plenty of people who think that composite video looks just as good as 1080p. After that we get to plenty of voicemails, and yes, we have two--count 'em--two voicemails from women!

Justin Yu can be found tinkering with printers and other peripherals for CNET, when he's not adjusting his headphones, riding his bike, or eating hot dogs for breakfast.
I had the pleasure of seeing Matt & Kim live (promoting their first album) in Savannah, Georgia - my hometown. They performed in The Pink House, which is basically a large 3-story home turned into a music video. We were on the second floor "living room" area and everyone was jumping up and down so much that I thought the floor was going to cave in. I agree with Wilson, they are much much better performing live - but this was before being featured in a Bacardi commercial and NBC's "Community".

- Matt & Kim are awesome. Daylight is one of my favorite songs of the year. It's been on constant rotation for me since April or May. Good pick!
