An Introduction (Or, Better Late Than Never)

Inspired by Mr. Aaron K. Swanton, I realized I should have introduced myself...

I'll be posting random thoughts, and the general ramblings of a fevered mind...

Another reason the Arcade Fire are saving music...

These days it's easy to get discouraged about the plight of the arts, in general, and the music industry in particular. Those of us in bands know how ridiculously hard it is to pay rent, tour, and find a way to make records. Add to this an overall decline in concert attendance and the collapse of the major record labels, and it's enough to make any musician want to give up hope... Then you see something like this, and you realize that it's all worth it.
