Reminder: I don't know what I'm doing

I met with a girl yesterday who basically laid out to me that my business strategy was non-existent. She’s right, of course. I don’t have business cards, my website doesn’t tell anyone what I can do for them, nothing. She was totally right, and it’s kind of embarrassing, now that I think about it. So [...]

Hip Hop Set 8... I think.

How to subscribe. Last Friday I rocked SIRIUS with some serious verbal vitriol, in the form of seven hip hop underground kings and queens. Shockingly high amounts of endorphin in a nifty 24 minute package. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Black Market Militia – ‘Think Market’ Psalm One – ‘Rest in Peace’ Vakill [...]

Queen Midas Syndrome

My thesis today is simple: it may be nice to be a beautiful girl in showbusiness or porn, where you can share your image with millions and reap huge rewards, but in ordinary life it can actually be pretty rotten to be a beautiful girl. Let’s call it Queen Midas Syndrome; everything you touch turns [...]

Tupac / 2Pac : Now available to podcast

Tupac Amaru Shakur, a hip hop icon, died ten years ago this month. As such, there have been a number of articles written about his work recently (here’s one) – but here’s something I bet you didn’t know: Tupac Shakur can now be played on a podcast Since last month, 2 Pac has tracks on [...]

The Right Place, The Right Time

As I write this I am approximately 5 minutes away from this scene, without my recording gear. It is a mistake I intend to never make again. God dammit.

How to popularize your podcast using the power of social networks

I had a chit chat with Mark and Bob during the ride down to PodCamp where we talked all about social networking and why influencing the text-based web matters a great deal. Take a listen if you want to learn a thing or two about how to promote yourself as a podcaster on the web.

What is In Over Your Head about?

I was at PodCamp this weekend, in Boston. I met a bunch of people while I was there, really remarkable, passionate individuals that were looking to take what they were making to the next level. Some of them knew what I made, but many did not. They asked me what is quickly becoming the most [...]

Connecting Synapses

I love making the connections between old, classic jazz/funk pieces and modern hip hop. Twice recently have I come across the original samples used in hip hop tracks. It gives me the feeling of a revelation, a sort of eureka! moment. Once, RZA‘s Birth with the original 24 Carat Black classic Poverty’s Paradise, and just [...]

Who is Trixi?

I’m fascinated by this interactive drama that Yahoo7 has launched called PS: Trixi. It’s an engaging mix of stories and radio, a veritable JenniCam style site for 2006. Despite this, I have no idea what it is. Clicking on the radio link reveals they are accessible via Firefox, so I don’t know what they’re trying [...]
