Some of us have left our Indiana roots behind for the shores of lake Michigan and the city of broad shoulders. This is a group for the Chicago based MFTers.
The album is done. I am picking up the masters this weekend, then we figure out what to do with it.
The video was edited by Mike Snyder (the sax player in the vid and a member of the band) and was shot by a friend of his, whose name escapes me. We…

Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins - "Rabbit Fur Coat"
Peter Bjorn & John - "Writer's Block"
Animal Collective - "Feels" (my favorite of theirs, MPP bla bla bla)
East R…

Hey John, since you are the only person I know who would know:
Are the models that drive satellite radio producing any revenue for the artist? You don't mention satellite services but to me, not having one, it seems to be a logical evolution to bet…
I predict that labels may not go away, but they will become less important--as will traditional broadcast radio. Ten years from now we will all have internet-based radio in our cars. And the taste-maker-gate-keepers may not all be labels. They might…
I think it's significant that iTunes acquired LaLa, a streaming site (which I use to preview or rather pre-listen to new releases). With the likely release of Spotify in the U.S., and the fact that Rhapsody already has a subcription streaming servic…
