DecalGirl iPhone Skins DecalGirl iPhone Skins. iPod skins have been around for ages so you know it was bound to happen...now DecalGirl has released a large batch of iPhone skins for your latest Apple gadget. Most are pretty cheesy and more the type of thing you'd find in a mall kiosk, but some are actually quite well done (a sampling of which are shown below). All skins are printed on sticky vinyl which uses no glue - you can re-adjust and re-stick the skins without leaving a sticky mess on your phone. What makes these even more unique is that each comes with a matching iPhone background to make the screen match the skin when the phone is idle.

News of the Sun So What's Up With The Sun?. Columbus OH's The Sun have had a rocky time with their former record label, Warner Broz. The band is finally out of contract, though, and are gearing up what seems to be 20 different releases. The band has just unleashed two compilations, "Ohio Tigers" and "1999", featuring rarities and B-sides recorded during their time at Warner. These are digital only releases. They're currently recording new material with Mike McCarthy (Spoon, Trail of Dead...), and hope to have their second proper full length out soon. I imagine working with a larger independent will be good for both their career and sanity.
