So much of what we do on a daily basis is one dimensional from a sensory perspective. As an example, this blog post is one dimensional. Music/sound can play a huge role in your day, as a dimension overlaid on top of everything else. For a while, I forgot this. I was thinking recently while [...]

For those of you who do not know me too well, I’m a huge fan of the Dave Matthews Band. I’ve been to more shows than I can reasonably count, have gigabytes of their live shows, my living room has a framed DMB art collection, and my son is aptly named David Matthew Herman. For [...]
When an industry is in the middle of being disrupted, it’s the perfect time to add more logs to the fire. Today, lets concentrate on the music industry. While everyone is focusing on distribution, recording, and digital rights, I’m focused on touring and concerts (btw, a money maker). In the past, I’ve written quite a [...]
It took lots of negotiating to make this happen, but I’ve convinced Sherri to let me professionally frame and hang some of my concert posters of The Dave Matthews Band in our living room. This is the most used room in our home when guests come (the bar is second) and it’s only fitting to [...]

I’ve been thinking about bloggers, blogging, memes, and this entire ecosystem from a macro-POV over the past few days. What caused me to think about it… I’m not sure, but nonetheless, I’m down the path and wanted to throw a few ideas out there. In early 00s, I spent enough time in the music industry [...]
Strange thing happened… I was reading the Wall Street Journal during my commute this morning and there was a music article (and recommendation) so I went to find out a lot more about the artist (Girl Talk) as the technology behind the music sounded interesting to me. Who knew that the business centric WSJ was [...]
Let me start prefacing this posting by stating that I’m a huge fan of U2. The band has tons of charisma, energy, and an amazing “show” that is similar to the aesthetics of the Dave Matthews Band. U2 is one of the top selling acts of all time including tour attendance and record sales. They [...]
Just days before the 2008 Summer Tour kicks off, the unofficial 6th member of the Dave Matthews Band, Butch Taylor (keyboardist) has suddenly left the band. There has not been much else released besides this, but we all hope him well for the future! Speculation on some of the fan boards have been about Butch [...]
When I want to download music, I really don’t care what label the band is on. Honestly, most of the time, I don’t really know if it’s Universal or Sony BMG or Saddle Creek, etc. iTunes is great because the majority (note, not all) of what I listen to is listed and available. Sony BMG [...]
