Read More Don’t Protect Yourself From Your Art“To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself, incredible and inconceivable.” ― Aaron Copland Music has filled my mind lately, and today, I was thinking about Aaron Copland’s compositions. I’ve loved his music even before I knew who he was. A portion of Copland’s Rodeo appeared in a commercial (one of […]
Read More The Stopping of Time ItselfAmanda Palmer has quickly become a person I greatly admire, and one day, I really hope I’ll get to attend one of her shows maybe even get a hug.

Read More Ladies and Gentlemen….Amanda PalmerYesterday, I talked about a crowdfunded short film that I kicked in some money to support. This was not the only project that I’ve contributed to, but it is the first one to be completed that I’ve been able to anticipate the release.
