A playlist of mine with songs by Lily Allen and Amy Macdonald.
Failure of web 2.0?The Observer, Aleks Grotoski and Jaron Lanier, author of ‘You Are Not A Gadget’. Failure or no failure of web 2.0 (video)?
By the way, Eagle Rock. Please watch this video and an album of mine by clicking here.
Kings of Leon and Nick Jonas. How did you find Nick Jonas and the Administration at the Wiltern? Wonderful concert at the Koreatown venue? Better interpretation of “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon or of “Stay”?
And the album of the New Jersey native, “Who I Am”?
The Jonas Brothers. Anything against this opinion about the Jonas Brothers? A video album of mine about this group.
And the Jonas Brothers are better adopters than most: Their records are packed with dazzling re-creations of genres they’ve come to understand through observation rather than through experience. (How stultifying to limit oneself exclusively to the style one was born into.)
