Push Back and Management

d dot b — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:50:14 +0000

the management of independent artists is a whole different beast I imagine; as the artist(s) are also co-managers, and necessarily do not have to take heed to your comments and recommendations. As most artists already have a 'beautiful roadmap' as to how they will make it in the game. Related posts:

Social DNA

d dot b — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:54:27 +0000

According to the folks at Energy Diamond, these are the keys, well in terms of balancing them, to achieve positive/optimal social DNA. I think they may be onto something because having your social network full of one set of people does not really do much in giving you a balance viewpoint on things. I know many people that only want to surround their world with similar thinking people - I think this is an attempt to lessen arguments & protect their sense of self (the overly religious do this a lot).

Shaft’s Big Score – Don’t Misunderstand

d dot b — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 23:57:16 +0000

This is an actual real music from the Blaxploitation film Shaft's Big Score (released 1972), this is a song that accurately captures the mood of the 'infamous' times of the 1970's as pimping, gangsterism, and being a 'playboy' was coveted and revered. Jumping forward to the current day, I don't think much as changed - except where this song sounds a bit more eloquent, while the current music is very blunt & direct with their slackness & slackitude.

You’re a F#*cking Human Being

d dot b — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 14:28:44 +0000

A rant by UFC announcer, ex-Fear Factor host, comedian Joe Rogan off of his podcast; an interesting take on life, religion, politics, and such. Don't really get why they autotuned Joe Rogan's voice, and added Daft Punk's 'Around the world', but that mix, and the visuals makes for a good 5 minutes of engaging content. Related posts:

What should I do? Cleveland responds

d dot b — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 13:39:19 +0000

In a city hit hard by the recession, it is not surprising that many people find solace and/or escapism from their everyday life through sports - and what makes this particular story very hard is that LeBron grew up in Cleveland; as oppose to most sports franchise players that come from another place. Thus, the people of Cleveland felt like Lebron is 'one of their own', and literally, he is. Related posts:
