Hey there! Since iTunes still hasn’t let independent artists into the party yet, I can’t tell you where to follow me or where to find me on Ping. I’m on there as a person, but I don’t think that counts just yet. So while I wait for any sign that iTunes cares about anyone but EMI, BMG, and other TLA’s, please help me out by “Like”-ing my stuff in the iTMS!
I am twenty-six years old and I live in New York City. In the last seven years I have lived as 201,573 different people.
I watched another man die today, this one a pirate who personally disrupted shipping around Jamaica for the past year. He targeted my company’s tea shipments almost exclusively, though I can’t imagine what offense this cretin would begrudge me. It’s not easy being wealthy.
I received grave news from the expedition I dispatched to what we’ll call “Colombia” in another hundred and fifty years. All but one man has vanished and I fear the last soul that entered that temple may have disappeared shortly after sending the letter.
God, I wish they’d discover coffee already.

Once upon a time in 2004 there was a new media community- back then we called them Podcasters. They were passionate, excitable, and ready to jump on any new opportunity they could create for themselves. Podcasters flew from all over the world to hang out at conventions they organized. For three years, New Media brought people together. Friendships were forged, business ventures launched, and through it all some amazing creations made their way onto the internet. The New Media community felt like a family.
Now it’s gone; the community has dissipated. And that’s okay.
Seriously, it’s okay. It took me a while to realize it, but disappearance of community is just the next major step towards permanence. Sure, it was sad to see some exciting projects lose steam or dissolve entirely, but it’s just the way of things. From the toils of early adopters and pioneers come both fruit and chaff. Once the spring season for New Media ended, it was time to tend the plants. That’s when I began to lament the disappearance of the New Media Community. Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve heard “Lost My Way” and “Every Color” on other podcasts, but the final versions on the album [Goodbye Planet Earth] make it well worth buying. The instrumentals provide a great interlude for the other songs. Very catchy hooks all over the place. Great lyrics, too. I can’t pick a favorite song off this album. Even at 17 tracks, it ends too soon. — Daniel Johnson Jr., CD Baby
