Newness

Who reads this??  I was just wondering that the other day.  Do people really read my blogs.  I'm not the most prolific blog producer on the web.  Amidst my self-proclaimed A.D.D., it's usually not at the forefront of my to-do list, but I love reaching out across the digital world to share some of my thoughts.  My life is an interesting up and down of a lot of different activities that includes music as a large part of that.  I just got off a personal growth retreat with the Wright Institute called Tracking and I got a lot of cool shit out of ...Read more

Concert at Red Line Tap 2-8-2009

I just had a concert at Red Line Tap last Sunday.  Red Line Tap.  Amazing dive bar type of place right off the red line (train station).  I was so impressed with the 20-person turn out on a Sunday night.  Love you guys!  Anyways, I put up my first video clip on youtube.  Here's a cover of Drive (Incubus) from the concert.  Enjoy!

World Wide Web of personal profiles

Is anyone else having a feeling that there's becoming way too many social networking sites and wondering how to prioritize them?  I remember when I first signed up for facebook at its first inception and almost no one joined, so I left it alone.  I next joined Myspace because all my friends were doing that and once I started getting heavy into song writing and recording it was the perfect forum to showcase and promote my own music.  Soon enough, there was mass exodus from Myspace to facebook and I preferred FB's ev...Read more
