It's that time between Black Friday and CES when the news cycle becomes a snoozefest, but your intrepid host Brian Heater sallies forth into the abyss along with Terrence O'Brien and Sarah Silbert to bring you this week's tech tidbits. Led Zeppelin landed on Spotify to mark yet another major artist holdout that's finally crossed over to digital services. Blockbuster, however, failed to change with the times and finally announced the closure of its last remaining UK stores. This leads the gang to reflect on Red Vines, beaded video-store curtains and the dearly departed Tower Records. There's plenty in store in this week's show, so hang on tight and head on down to the streaming links below for another edition of the Engadget Podcast.
