I quit watching MTV a while ago.  Like most people of my generation, we got sick of growing up with music videos 24/7 only to have it hijacked by Real World and other such junk programming.  Frankly, if it weren,,t for staged outrageous behavior, MTV would cease to exist. I just saw this clip and I,,m [...]

I just watched a video by an electronica artist from Brooklyn named Moldover.  Yeah, I,,d never heard of him before this video either.  He,,s done a brilliant job designing the packing for his first CD.  He built a light-based theremin and designed the track listings into the circuit board!  He,,s got three different versions of [...]

This just made me laugh.  There,,s nothing more nerdy than breaking down a song and making it into a flow chart.  Awesome.  Thanks to Jeannr and Kittymeowmeow on Tumblr.

Just read a great article about how Imogen Heap is shaping the new way of doing the music business.  For the past two years she,,s been working on her latest album, Ellipse, which releases on August 25.  I won,,t go into all the details, you can read the article for yourself on Deep Dive Marketing.  [...]

Fantasy World made it onto the Fame Games Qualifier show yesterday, just like So Easily did last week. The DJ,,s liked my vocal and liked the song, but thought the chorus was a bit weak.  I,,m not really sure what that means, but there you go.  I did get two reviews late last week that [...]

So I,,ve just heard ,,So Easily,, being played on the Fame Games Qualifier show. Not bad, but not great either. It appears that the bass on the intro doesn,,t come through at all, so it just sounds like that tremolo guitar part goes on forever. Everyone liked my voice, but they didn,,t [...]
