Okay, I think I get it, but please correct me if I'm wrong - you're still no hillbilly, you are a punk rocker. You are right - it is nothing but punk to do a Neil Diamond cover band. Inspired. You'd asked about myspace - no nada. Had one, but bailed onaccounta a psycho Canadian stalker who ..... let's just say she soured the whole experience for me. I'm sorta/ kinda part of Wes's website, http://www.wesfreed.com and wiki, if you're looking for some mysterious don't know what. Might find it, might not. Hope that helps! Love ya, Shugah Boogah. It's been great fun today.
Jesus puppies, throwing stones, I can't believe you remembered that I love "Three Little Fishes" - you're something else. I still treasure that Pogo collection you gave me for Christmas, that was such a classic & sweet gesture, you're a doll baby. Little did I know when you gave me Pogo that I would later become "The Possum Queen". Yes, I have been here all damn day, and yes I have been busy, which is a great thing for me, as I truly have nothing better to do. Not that visiting with y'all isn't a worthy pastime - nossir! And I honestly have been trying to locate a lot of people here for years, so it's a double blessing. A great time killer AND finding lost friends. I'm gimped up enough now that I'm unfit for any kind of regular job, so I just sit home and tend my husband's customers. Which are scarce, what with the economy and all - nobody can afford to buy art when gas is 4 bucks a gallon. Thanks for bein' there for me, Jack! And you still ain't answered my rocker/hillbilly question. I see your near Chapel Hill - we used to play Local 506 a bit. " .... and dey fam and dey fam in dee dam aw day".
Oh say, I don't know if you remember, but you used to have a saying you were kind of famous for. I won't repeat it, but I would sincerely like to know: at present, would you consider yourself more of a punk rocker, or more of a hillbilly? My husband is both, and I find the combination very effective. Socially speaking.
Heh heh. yeah, lupus is a very popular disease anymore, I just got it cuz it was trendy. :-) -- Hey wow - thanks for pointing out Charles Silver's deal, I woulda never known who AXA is - thanks, Jack ! Yanno, I named our cat Jack, partly because I got sick of wisenheimers always asking me "Where's Jack? (hardee har)" when they found out my name is Jyl. This way when someone says, "Where's Jack? (hardy har)", I can say, "I dunno, last I saw him he was under the truck eating a dead chipmunk."
Yeah, of course there are other tastemakers - I vaguely mention that we all have our own filtering mechanisms and that will continue. Social networking and blogs will become more and more important - as will ways of communicating that we can't conce…
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…
John- do you think there will be one master archive of all music in various formats (Wav, MP3, etc)?
I think you are right on with your predictions but I wonder about the logistics. Will it be like the current distro model where you can get these r…
Thanks, man. I'm not second-guessing whether SubPop was ever actually part of the major system - it seems like they did some sort of P&D deal around the time Mammoth and Matador did, but I don't recall for sure. Anyway they are an indie currently an…
