Next Generation DVDs, Ratatat CD Release Party & the Never Send To Know With Whom the Van Rolls, It Rolls With Thee 2004 Tour

A paper disc that can hold up to five times more data than current DVDs has been developed by Sony and another Japanese company. The disc is based on blue-laser DVD research, one of the technologies that could replace the current generation of red-laser DVD players. Blu-ray discs can hold around 25 gigabytes of information, compared to the current limit of 4.7 gigabytes for a standard DVD. (link BBC)

This is pretty interesting but what if your loveable but always drunk friend cut up your prized possession of every Britney Spears music video footage you own? Wouldn't it make you feel toxic?
