Having a hardcopy is nice, but not convenient.
Having MP format is convenient, but just remember-- you don't "own" that music in your itunes. That non-transferable stipulation is the silliest thing since the death tax and I'm a liberal.

Re: Meet the new boss
Hey, Communism is like sharing what you have. So share away...capitalism sucks anyway. Oh yeah, corporations suck, except when they give you a check. This just goes to show that you reap what you sow...artists bitch about the evils of the United States' development of trade and capitalism, but then...

Re: Drum soloing 101 with Jeff Hamilton
Jeff looks way more like a lawyer than a drummer.

Re: Vinnie signs deal with Paiste.
To all your conspiracy theorists out there: maybe he just wanted to change it up a bit. The guy's been playing drums for 40+ years, and perhaps you get to a point when you want to switch things up, to hell with endorsements and the business side. I know that when I get stale, I go on a frenzy to loo...

Re: Jazz is the opposite of nostalgia
The word "jazz" is the biggest obstacle standing in the way of the concept of "jazz". There is too much connotation and preconception contained in that term; from the moment someone starts out playing that style of music, one is pointed in the wrong (retrospective/backward-lookin...

Another Nightmare Gig From Hell-- Book
A buddy of mine who is in a local working band apparently developed a hobby of writing some essays regarding some of his weirdest/wildest gigs; well, it turns out that one of them got published in a book that is essentially a collection of stories that we all have been (un)lucky enough to have been ...

Re: Berklee advice
For 4 years at Berklee you are probably looking at nearly $150,000. Without scholarships that turns out to be $207,144.59 for a 10 year repayment loan at 6.8%, in US dollars. That's a minimum of $1,726.20 per month in loan payments. You might wanna escape back to the UK if things get tough, being t...
