I like Walks.
Who doesn’t?
I walk a lot but not enough or as much as I want.

Today, for the pure hell of it I documented a part of my walk to get lunch.
Why did I do this? I have no idea. It seemed interesting at the time.
Plus [...]

Part of what makes today’s Internet so much fun is the tools and toys.

But I digress.

Five years ago, WordPress was a new and cutting edge stack for desktop publishers and content owners. Five years ago, I was stuck dead in the mud of having my own websites built from my own [...]

Spotify under fire?

By On November 23, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Spotify opened it’s business in America this year, primarily to major applause and kudos. I’ve been particularly interested in the service and have been using it actively for 3-4 months now. Quite frankly, I love it.

As a rule, generally speaking, I stray from politics on my website. Always have. And, I’m not breaking that rule today….much.

I’m seemingly obsessed with Spotify, I know. Today comes news that the service is adding a new service to it’s API library. This update will surface the 15 million (+) songs on the service through the API library to iOS developers.

Tommy Lee, love him or hate him…

I haven’t talked too much about drummers or music in a while. But I came across this video teaser for Motley Crue’s own Tommy Lee and his crazy new spin (literally) on drum solos.

Seriously, love him or hate him, you cannot deny the man is unique and totally, 100% undeniably INSANE.

Who else would [...]

Spotify is cool. But…

So I posted recently about being jazzed about Spotify, and, I was totally geeked to try it out. I’ve been using it now for about 2 weeks and feel like I have a good sense about the product and it’s features.

But, what I have found WAY more compelling are all of the articles [...]

I’ve been following the chatter around Spotify for a while now. Rumblings have been on the web for a few months now. Lots of interesting chatter too regarding this so called “perfect business model for music”.

And so, as someone that worked in the music business for 15 years and has been [...]
