I regret not seeing this band live.
I was too scared of industrial music for most of my youth. Too bad for me. I wonder what type of artist I would be today if I hadn't seen Hells Bells in 4th grade. I should forgive the filmmakers and my youth group for protecting me from good music. http://youtu.be/wkLhdklu1v0
Oh delicate muse.
Bon Iver won two Grammys that he didn't want. Awards for art are dumb he said. I agree with most of his views and what Nick Cave said here to the MTV Music Awards back in 1996. Of course I'd love to win a Grammy but right now I tell myself that awards are not helpful or appropriate or necessary and that I'm too dignified to compete for recognition from a bunch of ...
My music is not my own.
I can't recall what initially convinced me to open license the music I make. I create songs which are meant to be enjoyed and used; this includes having it married to other amateur, personal creations. Once my music is purchased I have released control over how and when it is played. Perhaps it is playing at a strip club or Rush Limbaugh's birthday bash at Rick ...
Recording life.
George Clooney in an NPR Interview made the case for shaking Brad Pitt's hand instead of taking a picture of it. SNL makes the case for keeping your head out of your own ass with their Headz-Up app. A friend was tweeting every three minutes over sushi and I felt bad asking him to stop. Maybe I won't feel bad. May the cultural shift begin.
The Lord is for my body.
A bit of film from inside the upcoming art installation, Body Orthodoxy: A Sensual Education. Song by me and Tara.
The pill is hard to swallow.
Once again I am in awe of my friend Bryan Free. His latest album, Red Queen, is staggeringly difficult to understand. If I think I like great music then I know I have to put in the time. My first few listens went down like stroganoff, the kind with mushrooms and onions and Russian detritus. I suspect the sales for this album will be poor. Too bad.
On commercial use of your lovely song.
Maybe they should sell their songs to Coke, so we don't have to endure these ridiculous knock-offs. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lrgofQP_G0&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3] [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwtigbpToMg&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3]
I cannot love this artist any more…

Oh, I don’t own a TV.
I used to be a smugly about not owning a TV, well now I do and I love it. A gorgeous 32" 1080p wi-fi enabled TV. It is my favorite form of entertainment and it makes my life better. I don't read very much and I write these helpful blog posts.
This week in stupid intellectual property.
My understanding is, that even if Best Western should lose their status as the largest chain, this trademark would prevent the new number one from ever advertising the claim in this specific language. And of course, the pillow graphic is a wise lock down too.
