The Dragon Project is spreading the funkiness everywhere. Today, I am adding my blog and a few more to come into the blogoshere at Technorati.

Check out my profile here. . . (Yes, there is not much there, but there will be plenty of fun and insightful funkiness to come.

Technorati Profile

May 7, 2008 - The freedom is intoxicating. The independence is liberating. The accountability makes both that much more special.

Freed from the constraints of "traditional" recording contracts, Trent Reznor has established himself as THE artist most technologically in tune with today's music fans. So Monday's announcement that Nine-Inch Nails' latest release, The Slip, was available totally free as a download in multiple formats may have come as a surprise, but only because of the timing. The fact that the album is as good as it is only serves to further validate what Reznor is doing.

At the very first Langerado, my friends and I were also friends with band members who opened - Hashbrown. I remember them playing at a house party in the back of the 'Ghetti (that is with and "i" and not and "o.") Just like the old college days, my friends and I jammed out in support of our rockin' brothers. Playing hacky-sack. Dancing like a fool. Times never to forget. My good friend Ari made a bootleg Hashbrown t-shirt that I wore at that show. I don't exactly remember a completely positive reaction when J (bassist, Hashbrown) saw me with the shirt, but hell, how can you really complain about a loyal follower who is spreading the word of the Hashbrown?

Not to be distracted from my main point, Langerado was a one day festival with multiple stages in one of the worst venues within 25 miles of me - Pompano Beach. Who'd have thought that Langerado would bloom into an all-out attraction that featured a diverse and numbered line-up that included the Beastie Boys, 311, The Roots. G Love and Special Sauce. And those people are just some of the acts on Friday. For all the Dead fans, Ratdog, headed by Bob Weir, also performed.
