quote of the day.
This one is completely for my ego. Get over it.

I just heard Brandon Tyler’s new song.
OMG is it AMAZING! You guys need to check him out, for real!
can piracy actually be a good thing for musicians?
Another interesting article in the digital music world… could piracy actually be “helping” musicians while “hurting” the labels? It’s plausible, but it’s definitely not proven. There are a lot of factors that play into ticket sales vs. album sales.
Before I get into the full article, here’s an opposing viewpoint coming from Rolling Stone:...
it's coming back.

go houston!
I had no idea Houston was so liberal! After reading this article, it’s pretty clear that Houston is Democratic. Congratulations to Annise Parker (who happens to be a lesbian) and to the people of Houston for looking past the BS in politics and voting for a candidate based on policy.

imeem/myspace deal screws over independent...
I’m so THRILLED that I took my Snocap store off of Myspace as soon as my music was posted on iTunes.

news.
I wanted to comment on two articles that I read this morning. This is so random, but I couldn’t help it:
#1: (From Sacramento Bee) Snow will fall and accumulate in Sacramento on Monday, the National Weather Service is predicting.
Temperatures in the capital will fall into the 20s.
A storm predicted to bring rain to Northern California this evening with cool dramatically and bring snow...
too much luck?
I had too much luck when I was 18. I don’t actually know if it was “luck” more than a lack of giving a shit. When you stop caring about what others want from you, you start getting your way (if you’re not a complete jerk off). I did exactly what I wanted when I wanted, and I rarely cared about what people thought. It’s really easy to do that when you’re a...

A good friend of mine in SF told me that this guy, Tynan, comes into her work and always chats with her about life. As it turns out, he’s pretty interesting. He also loves to share his stories and insight online… so check out his website. From professional gambling to living in an RV to picking up girls, he’s got tons of advice. Enjoy. http://www.tynan.net
