1. This is easily the best article I’ve read about the evolution of the music industry in all of 2009. Seriously, it hits so many good points that I have very little to add. If you have any interest in music and how to monetize it in the future, I recommend giving it a read.
2. Mexico looms. Less than a month away from my trip and I am busting ass to get in shape. To help me stay focused, I joined the April Body of Work Challenge over at Social Workout. Catch me blogging over there about how fat I am trying to not be. If you’re into it, join up and you may be able to win some prizes.

The ridiculousness in that photo is unfathomable. Is it just me or does Berlusconi bear a striking resemblance to Dick Vitale?
This is the best thing I’ve seen in a minute. Gallery 1998 DESTROYING THE MOLD with an awesome show dedicated to the beasties. The prices are fair and it looks like there still may be some screen prints left for cheap. I may have to grab one.
Shouts to http://omgposters.com for the heads up. http://www.nineteeneightyeight.com/ for more info.
Sure, the industry is a disaster right now and there was no other option for a while, but to reward the guy for pursuing a flawed course and costing the music industry, the courts, and individuals millions of dollars does not sit well with me. I bet this is Biden’s fault.
Thanks to the Berne convention, copyright protection expired in Europe for Popeye on thursday, 70 years after the original cartoonist’s death. In India, all works written by Ghandi are free for all to use without royalties, now that it’s been 60 years since his death. The US extends copyright to 95 years after the author’s death, so our list isn’t really that interesting. Raggedy Ann is now public domain though, so i guess there’s that.

One of my resolutions is to update this blog at least once a week, so why not start with a post on plans for 09? I figure I’ll stretch this out over a few weeks to keep myself content-happy.
For now, here are the two major ones.
1. Be conscious in all that I do.
2. Get uncluttered and organized.
Also on the list are silly things like keep the blog updated, get back into DJing, cook more with leftovers, eat more rice, get back into dating shape, etc etc etc. We’ll see how those shake out.
I don’t do astrology much but I’m deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep in the midst of this right now. Technically it’s too early but i dunno, I’m not mad at it. I actually bought a print of that goya jam while i was living in spain. I had it squirreled away in my closet until recently. It’s now getting worked prominently into a big collage of stuff on one of my walls.
More Full posts soon. I just got a job and am trying to figure out where the whole blog thing fits in.
