A Tribute to My iTunes: a Short Story
Photo by Craig Cloutier A short story. It’s Raining in Baltimore a little toward Sullivan Street. I guess it’s going to be a Long December Round Here. This happens Time and Time Again. I guess that makes me the Rain King. So, I’m just going to put my Hand in My Pocket, smoke some Mary…

The Official Unofficial SXSW Playlist
I know there’s probably only one of you that remembers back when I was doing custom playlists on request. Those were the days. I should revive that game.

The story was originally floated…

With Apple/EMI, Music Can Now Move into the 21st Century
In a move that demonstrates questionable sanity on the part of Apple and EMI, the companies released joint statements on the day after April Fools Day. Indeed, several folks I’ve spoken to since then have admitted thinking the announcement about the entire EMI music catalog going DRM-less in iTunes was nothing but phony. However, it’s…

A little Something Musical and Thought Provoking to Think About This Week
In this video, I share some of my thoughts on faith provoked by this post and this week of Easter. I don’t generally share my faith in this venue. I find it to be a private and personal issue. However, I felt compelled to share some of my thoughts and a song on this video.
