This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

john vanderslice: mp3 index

Some people wanting to buy mp3 players think that the only way to get music is to buy it. "Not so", I say. There are lots of artists, really great artists that are giving away free samples of their music with the hope that once you get a sample you'll come back for more, then you'll see them on tour, buy a shirt and get them a record deal.

It has worked before!

Whenever I "discover" a new artist I always ask around to the people I know to see if anyone else has heard of them. They usually haven't, but that's not surprising considering the Black Hole of culture in which I am trapped. Then I look around on the internet and I get that "everyone else has aready discovered them" feeling.

Its a odd feeling, like when you feel "well read" and walking into a bookstore still feels intimidating. You scan the shelves and realize that you recognize maybe one title out of a hundred. You think "But... I've made an effort, I've tried!!"

The same holds true about music. I've been actively hunting down new and interesting artists for years, and I can still scan over the racks at the cd store and go "huh, who the hell is this?"

... and then you can't even find the cd you're looking for?

Today I recommend you listen to: John Vanderslice (mp3 index)

Amitriptyline (mp3)
Bill Gates Must Die (mp3)

Go on, you know you still have nearly 15 gigs left on thet 20 gig iPod you got for Christmas!
