Due to a holiday (I'll share my costume with you, don't worry), a wedding (congrats William & Tara!) and a funeral (RIP Grandpa), posts are going to be sporadic for the rest of the month. Its not like there isn't enough to read and listen to, anyhow.

Speaking of "listen to," there's so much terrific music available on artist-run sites and mp3 blogs (which is like taping something off the radio) that stuff like soulseek feels more and more like theft, or at least greed. I'm not trying to lay a guilt trip on people or pretend I haven't benefited from the existence of file-sharing services. I just feel I'm able to discover an excess of tremendous music without it and I wonder if other people might want to try as well.
