Consider the fact that in Chinese mythology, there are xiangyun, or “lucky clouds” that are harbingers of great blessings. Deities may even ride on them for pleasure.

odd future signs to sony... sorta? →

It’s based on getting the distribution deal we’ve always envisioned that allows the group to “sign themselves” to their own company and keep their masters. They will have 100% creative control of all aspects of their music, art, and release schedule with no 3rd party participation in outside business. Freedom and ownership was the whole point. Red and Sony know that its in everyone’s best...

This past weekend we had the Savannah Record Fair that brings in people and businesses to sell their new and used records for one or two days out of the season. But what can you do after that?

old scad district interview i did in early 2008. →

I found this small interview I did for District: the Student Voice of SCAD back in 2008 around the time of the Presidential election. They talked with the SCAD Democrats and the SCAD Republicans. Well, I guess a little more with the SCAD Repubs than with me.
