Music Man: Good to be Home

Music Man: Good to be Home

I’ve been in England for the past ten days. Those who know me, know that I love me some British music, and when I go over there, I usually come back all jacked up about a new band that’s starting to break in the mother land. This trip was different though. I wasn’t on my […]

Music Man: Fishing Season

Music Man: Fishing Season

I listen to music for a living. It’s rad…but not always. Ever go fishing when you were younger? I did, and I liked it a lot, except on the days when there was absolutely nothing in the lake, those days were pure boredom. But on a good day, fishing could be amazing (even though most […]

Music Man: Who Says the Music Industry is Dead?

Who says the music industry is dead? I’m in it all day everyday, and I say it’s anything but. The amount of music being released by majors, minors, signed, unsigned-whatever, is at an all time high, and I’m loving it…that’s the beauty of living in modern times; we have access to all sorts of music […]
