I must say that I agree with the ‘freakish’ness of all the items mentioned in this author’s post. Frankly, I’m somewhat embarrassed when I travel abroad and the folks I am visiting ask me “WTF are you nitwits doing?!?!? You are surprised that the rest of the worlds hates you?”.
I simply shrug and tell them, it’s not my fault, I didn’t vote for the clown. And, as it turns out, neither did most people, but that is a different discussion.
This is when I repeat to myself “less than a year… less than a year…”.

Sony has completed the DRM-free MP3 trifecta (Warner, Universal and Sony/BMG) for Amazon; they now have all the major labels, along with a significant number of indie labels, available for download.
This is clearly a move on the part of the labels to balance the field a bit against Apple’s iTunes Music Store; something that must be giving His Steveness a bit of bile to vent.
Frankly, I don’t give a dingo’s kidney what Hist Steveness vents, as long as we have a credible source of DRM-free music. It’s been a long, painful, frustrating road but it appears that the labels have finally seen the error in their ways (treating customers like criminals) and given those of us that enjoy our digital music on something other than an iPod a marketplace.
Now, if we can just get them them to provide it with a lossless codec encoding… 😉

I've just updated the software that drives the site. Despite the lack of posts, things are churning under the covers at Dreamland Blues!
Please let me know if things aren't working as you expect.
In other news... I have several photo galleries from shows over the summer that I am preparing to post. Stay tuned!
So I went back and read a few of my old posts today while updating some of the system software. The piece I did on popcorn toppings, which is one of my most popular posts, is rather good if I do say so myself.
Some days I wish I wasn’t so damn driven to innovate that I forget to do a bit of navel gazing on a daily basis.
