Somebody misses me...

So I was hanging out last night, minding my bweeznass, when it was commented upon that I haven't updated this blog in a month. And I had actually been kind of OK with that. I felt like I had said a lot of stuff I wanted to on subjects of interest in the music industry, and musically nothing very exciting has been happening to me personally lately. Not a lot of shows, no recording, no jamming. Blame it on having a Clark Kent job, school, and not a lot of desire to search out bands to play with.

So maybe just some random musings on music and something more coherent later this week:

* Thank goodness chartattack has revamped their new-look site. I used to love CA because I could go and there were news pieces right in fornt of me, headline after headline. They changed about a month ago and it became really frustrating trying to sort through tiny, tiny thumbnails and story previews to find, you know, stories, so I gave up. Now they've tweaked again and you have only to click on "news" to get some headlines. They're still running pieces on Amy Winehouse, which devalues them a bit, but you can't have everything.

* The Police apparently cleared $115 million with their reunion tour this year, and that doesn't include what they're going to make from the associated CDs and photo books that are coming out. I can only hope the Token Glory reunion tour does the same bank if we ever get back together. I'm guessing not.

* Mitch Clem, my favourite web cartoonist/internet celebrity, has started a story arc about music piracy. Click here for the first installment. Currently there are three chapters available. Quality~!

Bye for now.
