Grab Kaskade’s Automatic as a free MP3 download + $1 albums from Ed Sheeran, Panic! At The Disco, more

Trevor Daugherty Apr 28 2016 - 8:44 am PT

0 Comments

Google Play is offering a free MP3 download of Kaskade’s latest album Automatic. This title was released in 2015 and regularly sells for up to $12 at retailers like Amazon. It hit the top of Dance/Electronic charts while also climbing to #25 on the Billboard 200.

The ninth album from DJ megastar Kaskade has its share of stadium thrillers—check the breathtaking “A Little More”—but its softer moments are among its finest feats. “We Don’t Stop” melds indie rock guitars and heart-tugging lyrics into synths that unfurl like a fiery orange sunset, while “Promise” (with K.Flay) is a fun, UK-style R&B club bumper. Kaskade returns to his deep house roots with Estelle on sunny “Day Trippin’,” and collaborates with electro-poppers Two Nations for the beachy shoegazer “Papercuts.”

Nest Cam 3-pack bundle launching this week for $497 ($100 savings)

Jordan Kahn Nov 12 2015 - 10:18 am PT

0 Comments

Update (11/18 12:00pm): The new Nest Cam 3-pack is now available at Amazon.

Nest Cam, the smart security camera that Google acquired and rebranded under its Nest company after acquiring Dropcam last year, is one of the best of these new breed of Wi-Fi connected, smartphone-controlled home security products. Today Nest is making decking out your home even easier and more affordable with a new 3-pack bundle of Nest Cams that will allow you to save $100 over the normal retail cost of individual units.

The new Nest Cam bundle will sell for $497, representing a $100 total savings on the bundle when considering Nest Cam on its own will run you $199 each (or $185 each currently on Amazon).

I took the Nest Cam for spin in recent months following its launch, and despite a few software shortcomings that Nest will inevitably catch up to in future releases, I overall had an excellent experience with the device and recommended it to just about everyone except diehard HomeKit users.

The new 3-Pack Nest Cam bundle will be available this week online for $497, as well as retail stores including Home Depot and Best Buy.
