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.

Cloud Cult - New Band - Listen to them.
 
Cloud Cult @ the Larimer Lounge (both shows) : Reverb
Is it unfair that Cloud Cult is still headlining small rock clubs? To them, yes. They deserve more love and attention, more money, more people worshipping their ebullient songs that explode like fireworks amid the live show. Absolutely.


Best new band. Every so often i stumble across a new band that just strikes me as special. Its for this reason that i keep listening to as much new music as I can, because every so often there is something new that makes me wonder why everyone alive isn't talking about this band.

Wow.

Saw the show on saturday and i too wondered why there were not more people climbing through the doors to see this band. Amazing, considering all the crap that gets so much attention.

Even when you make money...
 

For Exxon Mobil, $10.9 Billion Profit Disappoints - New York Times
Exxon Mobil, the world’s largest publicly traded oil company, said Thursday that its first-quarter net income rose 17 percent, boosted by surging oil prices.

But even as it posted the second-most profitable quarter in its history, Exxon’s earnings managed to disappoint investors because of a drop in oil production. Shares were down more than 3 percent Thursday after the company missed earnings estimates by a dime a share


Stories like this are partly the reason that I now believe that the stock market, while an interesting idea and a unique way to drive investment into new ideas, is poison in the long term. Initially the value of a new business will raise as they pursue new ideas and aggressive growth. Eventually though the business will mature and no matter if that business is still making money the perceived value will drop.
