I remembered watching this movie in 9th grade English! Thought about it the other day and looked it up on Amazon.com, $7 dollar steal!!! Came in the mail a few weeks back.
I watched the movie...did the track immediately after with my own piano/vocal sample...
It's interesting to see what people in the 1960's thought today would be like. I'm glad they haven't destroyed all literature yet!

Dave Matthews Band 6/28



This band works so well together!!! Dave Matthews is not only a great songwriter but has a remarkable voice, Carter Beauford is definitely one of my favorite drummers and Boyd Tinsley is a man amongst boys when he hits a violin solo. I didn't even know half the tunes they played but everything sounded amazing!

Sound off...KD!

Give us an Original

I love when people think outside the norm. I really love when those thoughts are sensible with benevolent intent. I really really love when people don't necessarily agree or accept, but are open enough to listen.

Rock the Bells Tour 2008




There must be at least 10 tour busses for this one... 8 or 9 for the entourage/hypemen alone.
This show is guaranteed to include copious amounts of great beats, lyrics and a myriad of "hands in the air" demands!

MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking) Campaign



Human trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, harbouring, or receipt of people for the purpose of exploitation. It is estimated to be a $5 to $9 billion-a-year industry.

The MTV EXIT Campaign was launched in Europe and Asia to bring awareness to this ongoing epidemic. Radiohead contributed their single "All I Need" to accompany a video showing and comparing a day in the life of a child forced to work in a shoe factory against a child who wears them as he goes about his daily experience.

Writer's Block

Over the past year, I have taken a different approach toward writing lyrics...which sometimes turn out to be meaningless to listeners who either don't understand or are incapable of using self interpretation. Being that I have been attempting to complete some sort of solo project, I would get frustrated when I could only write half of a piece because I hate putting things down and coming back to them. Writer's block?...

Have you ever been able to distinguish natural from forced writing?

Have I stopped writing with a specific intent??? Now that I really think about it, these days it feels like I don't even write my own words or lyrics...it's from some sort of exogenous source....coming from elsewhere and tapping something within and outside of my thoughts that I often fail to activate on sudden command....Come Back.

Live, Life, Lost --

Thoughts travel throughout a mind skipping over pools of ideas and memories. Losing time and history can break a spirit. Material things are the treasured losses yet replaceable; short term. What about those we can't buy back?

Is there any path?

Medical treatments have been engineered by some of the greatest minds. For what? to rid those in pain, to cure the sick, or is it simply for those to convince themselves that they can alter the natural flow of life? Medical science can delay the ineveitable and cause a lot of pain not only for the sick but for the loved ones as well. Is it worth it?

The dichotomy of art and commerce! Before the Music Dies is an interesting glance at today's music industry. This documentary sheds light on current trends and label practices and how it all evolved with the proliferation of major labels, internet and technology. There are interviews and performances from many artists, both "successful" and not. Provides great insight, worth watching!
