If you've heard this story before, don't stop me, because I'd like to hear it again

I've been so busy lately - I designed a new website for my guitarist Geoff (GeoffreyOsborne.com) and it will officially launch on November 1st, 2009. To promote the release of his EP and my compilation album, which are both tentatively scheduled for release on December 1st, we plan on releasing a new song on YouTube once a week throughout the month of November. The songs being released on YouTube are from a performance we did that was filmed at Lynchburg College for a television pilot. Other promotional activities and appearances are in the works, but for now we've got a show booked up in Arlington the day after Thanksgiving.

While I was checkin' the tubes I came across a forum post by Trent Reznor about the ever-changing music industry. It made too much sense. If you are a budding musician, I recommend you read it. I also found a short interview on YouTube with Tom Harrell. When he's playing jazz trumpet, he's a genius. When he stops, he's completely disabled by schizophrenia. His story is absolutely incredible; read more about Tom Harrell by clicking here.

I've been listening to a ton of female vocalists lately so below I've posted "At Last" by Etta James and "Pussy" by Brazilian Girls. "At Last" is my favorite recording and favorite vocal performance of all time. "Pussy" is crude and some would say in bad taste while others will love it, but the music, man! The music!
