How to Put Your Music on iTunes
Are you searching for a way to digitally distribute your music via leading digital music retailers like iTunes, Rhapsody, and/or AmazonMP3? I know of a few local worship artists who have been looking for ways to digitally distribute their music via iTunes, but aren’t sure how to actually get started doing it. So far, I’ve found TuneCore, which looks like a really solid solution. I’m sure there are others too. Alternative suggestions are welcome!

Again, Tunecore offers a solid solution for those who want to distribute their music digitally. If you are wondering how to put your music on iTunes, wonder no more!
A Rainy Day Saturday is Therapy
I’m spending this rainy Saturday on sermon preparation, wrestling with the laptop/LCD projector combo, and listening to Santo Domingo De Silos Coro De Los Monjes Benedictinos: Requiem Aeternam. Between all of that wonderful activity, I’m entertaining my children and being entertained by them. There is not much to report, but there is a lot going on! Carry on, good readers.
Overdressed by Caedmon’s Call
Awesome. I just downloaded the new Caedmon’s Call album. It’s called Overdressed. Seriously, if you are searching for some really great music craft, check out Overdressed.

Axl Rose: The Blues, Chinese Democracy, and IRS
Speaking of really great music (see my Blind Melon post below): I just received copies of studio leak versions of Axl Rose’s The Blues, Chinese Democracy, and IRS.

Too, I think Internet leaks have become really great marketing ploys, by smart bands.
You Can’t Go Home, but there is Always the Soundtrack
I jumped on a Greyhound and moved to Hollywood, California when I was nineteen years old. I had all the usual reasons shoved deep into my front pocket (i.e., Fortune, Fame, and Rock n’ Roll), and enough youthful unction to actually give it a go too. The year was 1992. My time spent there was enlightening, to say the least. I learned more than I ever could have in a college classroom. It was, however, a short-lived experience. A very familiar lookin’ Greyhound took me home in 1994. I wasn’t the same. You can’t go home again, it’s true. Home may or may not have changed, but you definitely do! No, you can’t literally go home again. I changed, and drastically so. Too, I began my full-time study of Christianity in 1996. Read More »
