Music – Hypnotic Brass Ensemble

Certainly not a new sound but Music by – the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is 5 star and something to check out.

On another note…

I was driving to ShopRite, late one night, the moon was out, and the radio tuned to Jon Schafer’s New Sounds program. I’m hearing something familiar – like a memory of when I was young and hopeless in love, with something or someone, passionately and vibrantly – but it was matured, now elegant, regal, but with a voluptuousness and fullness – it was Either/Orchestra Half Life of Desire King Crimson: Red [11:12]

The Highest Aspirations of Human Civilization – OMG !

I wrote this in response to the Mark Call Internet Blog. In it, he discusses the protocol of communication. He created something called M.A.D. marketing – the idea of making a difference rather than making a profit. Then goes on to say – make a comment – use Facebook.

The Web 2.0 is the most reflexive medium yet. The pop cultural icons as seen in anime long form icons “Akira” and “Ghost In the Shell”, which suggests a mutation and subsequent societal shift when technology and biology meet to create a sentient being who emerges from the internet and finds a human host,

to the classic silent film “Metropolis” by Fritz Lang,  presented here with an updated soundtrack in 1984 , and again in an HD trailer for the newly restored master

From the ads written on the ancient walls of an alley in Rome leading to the Flavian Amphitheatre, to the blog posts on the Starz “Spartacus” blog – there will be diverse, engaging compelling and controversial communications.

And here is the rest of the commentary that I did not post to his blog:

I can’t but help get the feeling that we are all making copies of our lives for some purpose unbeknownst to us all. For a cell to grow the cell splits and the DNA is replicated. So , how many digital photos can be taken over and over of people standing in front of various landmarks? How many blog , Facebook and Twitter posts, can be created to reference other tweets, blogs and Facebook posts? Are we not replicating the human experience on a massive scale – in minute detail?

When monks had to hand copy literature, it limited the availability of education, knowledge and progress. Today I can carry hundreds of thousands of books in a Kindle, or iPhone or Blackberry ( yes and if you click this link you can buy those items through Amazon.com).

And even so have we become more intelligent? Are the highest viewed videos on YouTube content from major universities such as M.I.T ( the web page for the course is here or watching the effect of gravity on a human being in motion?

For Mark Call and all of the Internet marketers out there – don’t merely make a difference in your marketing – make a difference in your life. You’ve just been taken to the Matt.

The Economy is Booming at a Business Near you

Look around you today – its Saturday – are people driving around spending money – buying things? Do you see new cars? Do you see women wearing jewlery?

Did you go food shopping today? Were there products on the shelves? Did you have to wait in line to pay at the check out? Yes, of course we see these things.

This should tell you something.

This is Life- some say things are bad – but Life continues on – and so does business- you can either choose to say “the economy is bad” and feel justified in doing nothing – or take action. If you need motivation watch this video below .

Rural broadband

It is easy to take broadband for granted when you live in a city. But there are many people in the United States who are not as fortunate because they live in rural areas. Here is one such story.

Getting the Press to Cover Your Campaign

Click Here!

This is a review of the ebook by Joe Garecht, “Everything You Wanted to Know About : Getting the Press to Cover Your Campaign”

First of all with a 2002 copyright date, you might think the the information is out of date – however what Joe discusses is the idea of journalism as a behavior regardless of the year, the customs or the medium. In other words, what he write could apply to 2010 , 1988, or 1968.

Next thing- he is writing for the local elected official – and perhaps the person running for the first time against an incumbent. A person may have the best of intentions, but when they go up against a party machine – things get can get, well kinda ugly.

I recommend getting joingn his email list Local Victory and getting this short and sweet 6 page ebook.

If you want more info – drop me a line.
