Yo computer people-

I just have to share my feelings with you. I've been spending a lot of my time lately trying to get myself up to date on the various websites where I've posted my music. You see, I just released a 'lil EP named Energy, and I want folks to know about it. And of course the best way to let 'em know is through the wild wonderful world of the web. Problem is, I'm just not that computer savvy. It takes me so long to weed through all the tech aspects of this, that I forget what I'm doing it for- the music!

While I love the fact that this medium exists, I can't help but get frustrated by the fact that you almost never get to speak with anyone directly, and that its sometimes hard to know the aim of some web-based businesses in this ever-changing musical landscape. Its nice to assume that most of these music based portals are there just to share music, ideas, etc. But really now, nothing's free in this world, and unless there's a way to generate revenue, these 'free' services will go away. So, I constantly find myself asking 'what is their angle? How are they getting paid?!' And to that end I'd like to see more transparency. But I suppose its every business' goal to make you think you're getting something for nothing, even if we're constantly told otherwise. Sorry if this all sounds a little nebulous- my head hurts:)

But as long as I'm trying to update my sites and infiltrate the digital music domain, I might as well ask: What's your favorite site for music on the net? Where do you like to listen, download or discover music? I'm just curious, since I'm spending an inordinate amount of time trying to get my stuff out there, it would be nice to hear some ideas on where you think it may be worth my while.

And of course, Happy Holidays! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a rockin' New Years Eve.

Peace,
jk
