ATH IT Department Returns
Time for a reboot.
Given all of the reimagining of classic characters (what are we on, the eleventyeth Batman?), I thought it was proper time to reset the ATH IT Department. Now, while I will pop some electronic jams up, there will be some new content.

Lossless CD quality or better available for all tracks and high artist payouts per stream. Stream ethically and buy the tracks you love.
Honestly, I’m pretty over lists at this point.

Feel free to leave a comment on what you think we missed, or why we’re dumb; we love good comment trolls.
We’re drawing ever closer to SXSW, so we’re trying to make sure everyone gets a chance to drop their name on this here site. Today, we’re happy to introduce you to
