Genes, again!

Tuesday, August 28, 2007
No wonder I fail. (Yahoo News story on perfect pitch gene, 28Aug2007)

Well, I'll stop trying then and concentrate on things I can win at, like writing and recording. Of which, I've done neither the past month.

Is there a gene for laziness? If so, how do I remove mine?

Shift in music

Tuesday, August 07, 2007
There's been a serious divide in music recently. Some say that the new market is the internet and myspace and webTV. Others side on the trad norms of hollywood, commercials, touring to get the word out. But popularity is a crime the moment it's sought - it's a virtue only if you don't care. Or so the maxim goes.

The debate is useless. What works for some will not for others. There is no set way to get the word out and artists/musicians/creatives will always toil away for sheer soul satisfaction regardless of popular opinion. What matters most is content. Without that, all media forms are moot.

Words. It all comes down to words.
