Interview with RedMarbleMarketing C.E.O, Peggy...
I’m always full of curiousity when it comes to modern marketing strategy, and how fellow-marketers are dealing with (and some capitalizing on!) the many changes of the industry. To know what obstacles are encountered on a day-to-day basis, in a market far from the one(s) in which I’m currently involved, is as good as first-hand experience in my opinion.   As anyone who knows me...

'Homemade' Interview w/ BigFatDaddy, chef...
Baltimore, Maryland-based Wayne, a.k.a. “BigFatDaddy” is a 29-year veteran to his famous-pit BBQ formula.  I got to ask him questions about his business that he’s probably never been asked before, in regards to the dwindling economy, working with family, what keeps him going, and.. who would win in a fight: grizzly bear vs. angry bull.. Briefly introduce yourself, and tell us...

Entrepreneurial Spotlight Interview w/ Paul Olson
Paul Olson is a savvy writer based in Michigan, who just released a trio of one-act plays based on classic works of fiction.  The three plays are based on Dracula by Bram Stoker, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.  [Honk if he reminds you of the guy from the cover of the new Weezer album.] I had a chance to interview Paul via today, for my Entrepreneurial...

Fun. - "Some Nights" (Album Review)
Nate Reuss, lead vocalist of NYC-based trio, Fun., is now one of my all-time artistic heroes.  His previous band The Format, announced their hiatus on February 4th 2008, and the reasoning made perfect sense, after reading this very lengthy blog. The ‘big brother’ record label, once again, stepped on the wrong creative toes.  The band knew all along that they were going to create this...

This album has a very original, unique sound.  14 tracks with a vast sonic range, combining classic inspirations such as Simon & Garfunkel, Sufjan Stevens, Prince, The Police and maybe even a little David Bowie at times.. blended together in his own clever...

Long Beach based Kei-Shon-Son is the ‘head-quarterback’ of “Tha Sleepwalkers”, who’s aggressive form of gospel-inspired rap blends a sharp electro beat with dark and moody synth melodies, creating a one-of-a-kind soundscape, while exercising a solid rhythm section.  The vocals to hit sharp and punctual, with heartfelt and smart lyrics about real life stories. ...

Lega-c - "DASH" (Album Review)
Hitting at midnight tonight is the album DASH, Maryland-based Lega-c’s sixth addition to his discography.  The opening-track to the LP, entitled “Glory”, showcases a tasteful collaboration with Jay Hazel, where both artists rightfully get to show-off their soulful and rhythmic vocal abilities.. this got me digging the project right off the get-go. The production of the album...

The All-American Rejects - "Kids in the Street"...
It’s been a long four years since the last album from The All-American Rejects. Following their third release, which received very mixed reviews to say the least, the Rejects have been far from quiet. Playing a summer of Warped Tour, wrapping up tours with Blink-182 and Taking Back Sunday, even doing a jam for Alice in Wonderland,  it’s obvious these four guys have been hard at work. (read...

Miss Myi - Single Review
In her bio, Miss Myi describes herself as ‘taking pop-princess to a whole new level’.  My first impression of her online presence, however, is that she seems more like a model, or a ‘celebutante’ (based on the only videos I could find).  Considering how talked-up her profiles are, it’s unfortunate that I could find no trace of this sexy girl dancing in her [makeshift]...

9 ELECTRIC - "Can You Feel This" Album Review...
My first thought when I heard this band was “Ahhh hell yeah, a better-sounding version of Gravity Kills!” As I kept researching and listening, I came to realize that this band consists of a group of super-talented ‘veteran’ musicians that I have known and respected for many years. From here, my second and third thoughts were: Do I wish that I could have caught their set at...

Richard Cowdrey - A Kind Of Blue (guitar album)
After having it suggested to me today, I picked up this album on Amazon from ..  What it boils down to is 12-tracks-full of tasteful guitar work, showcasing a fusion of jazz, blues, r&b and recognizable pop-rock covers, such as U2’s New Years Day and The Fly. The sonic spectrum is fairly wide with these tracks, which makes for a well-rounded listening experience.  Let’s face it...
