WORKING BAND - Part 2 of Erik Jay's 15 part series is entitled "Image, Identity & Goals". Now, it might seem that Part 1 about "wearing all the musical hats" and taking charge of your career should have come second, or third, but certainly after part 2. But not really, I wanted to get some tools into your hands right away so you could be about the "buzz building" business. Read part 2 at:

FEATURED ARTIST PROFILE - Over the last seventeen years, in the 1990s with Bedhead and for the last decade with The New Year, Matt and Bubba Kadane have done all they could to avoid feeling rushed in making a record. Records need time to be coherent, and coherence -- even thin thematic coherence -- is what makes records worth more than a mere collection of songs. Download a song and check out their profile at:

FREE MP3 DOWNLOAD - Deer Tick began in December of 2004 in the bedroom of Providence native, John McCauley. With a tape recorder and a nylon string guitar, he did what most anybody would do; he made tapes for his friends. Much has changed since then, but the attitude remains the same. Download " Art Isn't Real (City of Sin)" from their upcoming release along with other music at:
