Among Steve Jobs' incredible trove of achievements was his corralling in of the online digital music market. He devised a pay- model solution that was palatable both to a largely youthful audience accustomed to downloading tunes illegally in the face of unreasonably high prices and to music companies where inflated record and CD costs had long been music to their ears. ITunes showed that 99 cents and a quick and easy payment system was the sweet spot that enticed legal downloads and kept the cash flowing for artists and record companies.

Memphis residents are really getting to me with their negative comments about local students - like saying students in the Memphis City Schools system can't or won't go to college because they're lazy. They usually go on to describe individuals who receive free pencils, listen to hip-hop music and receive food stamps in their descriptions of these "lazy" students.
SMOKE-FREE BARS BENEFIT STAFF I work with a brewery/restaurant/live-music venue on the south side of Santa Fe that only permits smoking outside on the patio. I am thankful to the owners for that policy. I know that the majority of dining patrons prefers a no-smoking atmosphere and that all the musicians I've discussed the issue with absolutely love a smoke- free performance space. As it is a person's right to smoke if they wish, I believe it is my right to work, eat and listen to music in a smoke-free environment. I still find myself in the occasional smoky bar, but I am thankful to have a choice.
That appearance featured God-des' clever, clitorisdirected instruction manual "Lick It," and in short order it changed their lives. "People all over the country want us to play now, and we're flying all over," [Tina G]. laughs. "It's a blast. It was difficult that first year, but you just pick yourself up and keep going. The wider exposure offers larger financial rewards, of course, and Tina G. isn't such a purist that she discounts the dollars. But she says God-des and She are especially gratified by the response from kids who feel like strangers in a straight land. "Young girls e-mail us and say, 'You've really made me be proud of who I am. That really affects us. One girl wrote, 'I live in a don't-ask, don't-tell community, and I can't be out and I can't be free. When I listen to yo...

Perhaps you've noticed, while perusing Facebook, that the scroll on the upper right-hand portion of your home page -- the rolling info-bar that tells who among your friend-base is available for a little chat, or reminds you of upcoming events you may or may not be attending -- is adding messages like "So and So is currently listening to Sigur Ros (or Bjork or Beyonce or whatever) on Spotify. This might seem like an info-nugget that should be filed in the "Too Much Information" bin, but it's telling, nonetheless. Spotify - - the predominant of the many "streaming" online services where the curious can listen to music for very little money -- is immensely popular. One can find almost anything on it, and can listen to it as often as desired for a monthly fee of $9.99. That's f...

I went to the church where my mother played the organ for 22 years-and still does. The sanctuary was quiet, the carpet still green, the wooden pews still held red Bibles. The metal cross hung suspended from the ceiling, larger than a man would have ever been. Behind it, a skylight. Behind that, the back brick wall with the stained-glass Jesus in his white robe, arms outstretched. I used to study that face every Sunday morning, not listening to the service. To me, it was not an iconic piece of art, but a representation of the actual Jesus. I treated it like a photograph. This was Him, I tried to know. This was God made flesh. He just looked like a man. When I was young, this place was a true sanctuary. Everyone in the choir knew me, and my mother and father and sister. I'd knelt on the g...
