This is a very uneasy time for me.  A lot of musicians never even push themselves to the point in their career where they are ready to release an album.  There’s all kinds of reasons why.  One reason is because they are waiting around for someone else to give them a “record deal”, as if [...]

It’s Not “Bad”
Twitter as a tool is finally starting to come into it’s own.  People access Twitter for many reasons, whether it be for news, for gossip, sharing useful tips, or sharing what they have for breakfast.  The truth is that Twitter is used for countless reasons, and in countless ways.  It’s hard to find [...]
