Jason Alexander (Seinfeld) was on Craig Ferguson’s show last week and during his interview, made a bit of a gaffe. He responded via Twitter with a solid, sincere apology.
Full letter absolutely worth the read.
Shortly after that however, a few of my Twitter followers made me aware that they were both gay and offended by the joke. And truthfully, I could not understand why. I do know that...

It’s unacceptable, it’s ignorant, and it makes you look like an idiot.
And I will call you out on it.
Apparently, my blog is a series of rants today.
As someone who has a nephew with developmental disabilities and is keenly aware of the difficulties that has presented, I am always offended by the use of this word. It’s particularly awful up here in Boston,...

I know that certain musicians like Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift or Beyonce would be extremely difficult to work with, thankfully for myself I am not too interested in working with many musicians whom also have that celebrity status. I would actually really love to work with Incubus, have you worked with them or know anyone...

Projects to Keep an Eye on: Cagney Cried →
There are hundreds if not thousands of Kickstarter and IndieGoGo links being shared across the ‘net by the hour, and few people want to donate their cash to projects that almost certainly won’t pan out. Fair enough. Now watch the above.
If the teaser for Cagney Cried doesn’t convince you that not only will this project most likely come out, but that it’s very likely to be...

thoughts-of-euphoria asked: Separate question: My biggest aspiration is to be a working musician, I have yet to truly do anything with that ambition because I know my current abilities are not up to par with what I need. I know the basics like: play shows, promote yourself, network, demos, youtube, try to get on festival that allow local/unsigned bands, try to work at venues or somewhere else you can get connections, etc.....

Topshelf Records: Summer interns. We need 'em. →
To anyone who’s read my post as part of WATK’s ”How To Get On Warped Tour” series, remember when I mentioned a couple new friends saving my life that first summer on the road? One of those friends was Kevin. Then, a sunburnt drummer in a band. Now, one of the great minds behind Topself Records, and the handsome man in the picture below.
If you’re MA local, this is a...

I had planned to do a write-up about the film, Bully, earlier this morning. Then I woke up with just enough time to throw on yesterdays outfit and make it to the car before street sweeping hour came (avoiding that nasty ticket is worth the risk of looking like I didn’t come home last night), walked into the office, received emails from execs written in large, 42pt, bright blue Comic Sans...

Anonymous asked: Honestly, all of the above I'd love to work with a band on tour or work in a venue the only problem is my name is not well known. It is at the 2 high schools I've attended but that doesn't get me anywhere in this music industry. I live in the Houston area and is a fact that if I were working at Warehouse Live, I would most definitely make a name for myself but I would have to get a...
