emusic is all that iTunes isn’t. I can’t find good documentation but it looks like the label is getting a good share. Since they are indie I’m assuming the artist is getting taken care of. No DRM for me. Steve could learn something. Having many projects cooking at once is something I’m usually game for [...]
Today a coworker asked me a question about iPods. “I just got an iPod,” she said, “and my husband has a bunch of music that he’s save in some format and I’d like to get some of it onto my iPod. How can I do that?” I immediately knew we were going to get into [...]
Because every church is like a damned field campaign office pushing their ‘values’ agenda of intolerance and bigotry. I can’t find the song at this time but Talib Kweli summed it up best with his lyrics: They used to ask you “Who’s your master?” / Now they askin’ “Who’s your pastor?” I have no problems [...]

I generally abstain from watching network television because it makes me want to pitch my perty LCD display out the window. This leaves me very little to watch [...]
I’ve totally been jamming to Soulive lately. I’m certainly not a jazz afficianado like some of my friends but I often find myself fused into the music in a way that involves my whole body. Feet stomping, ass shaking, and hands smacking. What I find most interesting about it is how it doesn’t require all [...]
I’m from the south, and even I think this person has a great point: Fuck The South
