The boundary lines for your "succession" aren't as neatly defined as you might think. No, it's "secession". Southern schools have failed you. You're funny. I wasn't trying to correct anyone's spelling. I don't know why I used quotes. And I still think that map invalidates the argument that the deep...

Democracy is not a horrible idea, but neither is secession. I think this conflict in mentalities is reaching a breaking point in the United States. We have an entire region of the country - the one whose unity makes it determinative in our national elections - that wants to operate on simplistic "m...

If I may be so bold, I'm gonna disagree AND invoke the word "generation," all in this one post. I think the current generation of kids think music isn't something you have to pay for, therefore they won't pay for it, and I think this mindset stems from filesharing and CD burning. I have also notice...

I am giving away five copies of my new CD, Sleight of Hand , to promote a show I'm playing in Chicago: Saturday March 5, 9pm w/Gaberdine, Early Risers Hideout 1354 W Wabansia To claim your free CD,...

I'm booking my first tour to promote an album of loop-based guitar stuff. I'm trying to play in Chicago on Saturday March 5. Can anyone help hook me up or recommend accessible venues for the almost completely unheard-of? I can try to return the favor in my home town of Kansas City, but I'm not sure ...

I record electric guitar in a small (12x10) room with no acoustic treatment to speak of. The walls are 20s era plaster and the floor is hardwood with joists. I get a noticeable amount of "muddy" bass transmission through the floors and walls when I play, though I am not sure how much of it ends up b...

I'm hocking my G4. I know we have some visual designer types here (and _possibly_ a few people who like Pro Tools), so I thought this might be of interest.

Plus I screwed up the item description and left out "G4", so the bids are still pretty low.

I work as a usability engineer for Sprint, which isn't really cause for bragging because the usability of many of the Sprint things that customers interact with most isn't terrific. But we're working on it. I get 15 days of vacation a year, and I use most of them for necessary visits to family in ot...

-pump up the volume -take it to the next level -tackle -buckle down -go to starbucks I work for a fortune 500 that is obsessed with sports metaphor. We have had several official programs this year named things like "Play to win!" or "Step up to the plate!" Why can't we borrow from other domains and...

my ex always used to run ads that mentioned Come. anybody that responded saying they loved Come was usually good for making some interesting music. i think the key with that is to throw out an amazing yet quasi-obscure band. people that bite on that may be winners. Picking which bands to include in...
