The "Other Music Related Products and Services" category (defined as "iTunes Store sales, iPod services, and Apple-branded and third-party iPod accessories") now accounts for approximately 10% of Apple's revenues. (9.9% for the last quarter, 10.5% for the previous quarter.) Revenue from that category also topped the $1 billion mark for the first time last quarter.
"The Layaways make fine indie pop. Hushed vocals interweave with understated buzzing guitars. The whole LP is a revelation from the start." -- Lost Music
"Catchy Guided by Voices-like rockers who lay it on sweetly and sincerely, just like Lionel Richie." -- WRUV Radio
"These are songs that you want to take home with you, curl up with, hold them close -- and pray that they are still with you when you wake up." -- The Big Takeover
