    Following on from my product test-drive for TuneUp a few weeks ago the San Francisco developers have announced a major development to their magical little tool.

    Not only is TuneUp now available for Windows Media Players for anyone who is hostile /allergic/oblvious to Apple‘s attempt at domination of the music software and personal player market. I know a few people who would do anything to avoid Itunes and this solution is perfect for them.

    Furthermore the company has also developed on the premise of Tuniverse , to which I alluded to in my review, into Tuniver.se: a one stop location for all your music and social media interactions. So now Itunes and WMP users, on both mac and pc, can enjoy the benefits of a shiny and up to date music library.

    TuneUp are giving three Cougar Microbes reader a free copy to the software. All you have to do is answer this question:

    If you could rearrange/fix/change any musical moment that has happened in history what would it be?

    Answer’s in the comments section, winners will be announced on the May 8th

    Here is another “rearranged” track for you:

    Florence and The Machine – Dog Days Are Over (Breakage Remix)

    1. The one thing I would change would, in fact, consist of many, many things. I'd make it where so many of our most talented musicians from Keith Moon to Shannon Hoon to Brad Nowell to you name them didn't die at such a young age. God knows how much more great music we could have gotten from them. Of course it could have resulted in these such artists still being alive and now making horrible music but I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt. I mean – it seems sorry ass musicians are immortal.

    2. if i could turn back time i would not have left my vinyl collection up in the addict left for some punk carrying away more than a decade of my collection, a true loss wich i still miss 15 years later.it is probably not what you were after but the only thing i would really want to change.as for tuneup i just tested this with wmp and what a treat for the digital collection, i´d be very happy for that and would like to partake in this event, thanks for the nice review, without that review i would never have noticed it

    3. i would make a point to promote a drug free music industry we have lost so many talented musicians to drugs jimi hendrix kirt cobain bradley nowell just to name a few the world idolizes these ppl and they throw it all away

    4. It's gotta be the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix… We've lost some great musicians to drugs, but while they're dead now, they're legacy will forever be preserved, as it should be… Rock on, and remember the artists who revolutionised, and introduced great things into the music industry!

    5. I would probably fix the fact that almost all of the music people are listening to now isn't in the classical music genre. So I would love to increase awareness of this slowly dying genre of music.

    6. I would probably do something to fix the current pop music culture. Not saying that we should bring back NKOTB or Westlife or anything like that, but I do miss the days where musicians have something real and more substantial to sing about, not just about waking up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy and brushing your teeth with a bottle of jack.

    7. 1. Light AircraftsBan them. They took Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, country star Patsy Cline, John Denver, Otis Redding, Big Bopper, half of Lynrd Skynryd, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Ozzy guitarist Randy Rhoads, and Aaliyah to name but a handful. No wonder the tour bus is such a popular transportation option.2. Finding GodOnce the Big Guy gets under an artist’s skin the work tends to suffer. Al Green went from making the sexiest music known to man to making gospel albums known to nobody. Jay-Z protege Mase quit hip-hop for the ministry, and when he came back his skills didn't. The less said about Bob Dylan's born-again albums the better, and just picture Jehovah’s Witness Prince proselytizing door-to-door in purple pumps. Esther (née Madonna) caused quite the mishegas by hopping onto Kabbalah’s New-Age-Judaism bandwagon. And Cat Stevens loved Islam so much he named himself after it when he converted, then quit the music business in 1979. Silly rock stars — you’re supposed to be the ones being worshipped!3. "Colonel" Tom ParkerBefore Suge Knight, Lou Pearlman or even Allen Klein came the “Colonel” – inventor of ruinously exploitative rock management. Getting his hooks into Elvis in 1955, the Dutch con man artfully steered the King away from making music and towards the likes of Clambake, Kissin’ Cousins, Kid Galahad, and about 30 other Hollywood forgettables he made instead of recording or touring for most of the next decade. 4. Electric Violins5. Nearly Every Hip-Hop VideoWe get it. Your ride is pimped, your crib is a castle, you sip "Cristal" and have a queue of semi-naked hoes lining up to get into your jacuzzi. Congratulations to a generation of hip-hop video directors for making decadence seem so boring.6. Braided GoateesJust grow those chin whiskers out a foot, part in the middle, and weave pube-like braids. Tragically, the resulting blood loss to the head severely lowers IQ levels, resulting in guttural vocals and misspelled band names.
