Wassapp Team,
Man! It's been a while since I've heard from, anybody! I hope that you cats are doin' swell and that life is just, a legal download for everybody right now.
I'm doin' pretty cool up here in DC. So I started my internship today with the DC Grammy Chapter. (Thanks to everyone for all the prayers, support, and love. It's greatly appreciated.) I had a good time, and, I think it's gonna be a cool deal workin' there. I get to kick with Daryl the Man (even though I haven't seen him since the Roundtable discussion back in '05). Also, all of the folks in the office are really nice and really cool.
While in the office, I happened to catch a glance of this big poster of the What's the Download Interactive Advisory Board. I thought that was pretty groovy. Didn't get to pull it out and see the whole thing but, I think I'll get to check it out tomorrow.
For the record everyone, the office is pretty much around the corner from the White House so, location, location, location. We're in a building where, for lunch, I have a ridiculous amount of options (but, there might not be TOO many options since that ol' wallet tends to disagree when stuff like that becomes routine). We have a Filine's Basement in, well, the basement (it's like a TJ Maxx or Marshall's). It's a cool deal.
But yah, summer is about hot fun up here in DC. I think it's gonna be great and, I might be able to get in contact with some big time cats. Should be good stuff.
Also, I got really lucky and made it back to my dorm right before the mail room closed and got a box today from my Grandma. She sent a bunch of food (soups and hot chocolate and stuff (yah, I drink it durin' the summer as well). But most importantly, she sent BROWNIES son!!! So yah, I just have that good ol' Southern smile on my face right about now. Hope that you cats are doin' well as well. Take it easy and, have a nice day!
Have Peace,
B
What is this propaganda crap? Downloading music (really anything though), sharing ideas with people benefits society in ways other than economic, so while it might hurt the GDP or stock market we gain a relationship with the artist. Instead of disconnecting us from the artists, like buying factory sealed music in a store dedicated to sell whatever the largest corporate giants want us to buy, downloading music has only brought us closer to the real people who make music. I understand the argument that people should get paid for their work, but don't you think the music market is a little saturated? We're making more music now than is physically possible to listen to ever and yet I'm made to think 99 cents for 3-5 minutes is a good deal? Why not pay $20 and see them in person for an hour or 2? This blog is a joke.
