Some Little Bits for August 11,2010

With thanks to tylerburritoALT and Smokeeye123 over on YouTube,I can finally get the music from the new LBP2 Adventure trailer. And since one of the replies about costumes and jumping accompanying the trailer caused a lot of excitement,and has been widely repeated,it’s worth noting Spaff’s reply to the reply:

A Gentle Reminder

…that the “Little BIG Music”album was released today (at least on iTunes).  Buy it!

For as long as we’ve been talking about LittleBigPlanet,music has been a big part of the equation.  First the brilliant use of The Go!
