Inspiration is really a devine experience and one that is often taken for granted. Rarely do I have such ambition bestowed upon me by the day and from the looks of others’ work around me they too are short on this gift. The inference is not that others do poor work because there [...]
I watched The Last Picture Show today. Actually going on my second showing to be precise. I must have seen Giant about a dozen times in the last few months too. It’s hard to get tired of either one of these films. Getting lost in stories about Jacy, Duane, and Sonny [...]
I’m certainly an Americana music fan. It’s closest to what I remember playing on the radio in my father’s beat up red Chevy pickup on our way to the barbershop Saturday mornings.

Is it just me or is Johnny Depp channelling Adam Ant in his new role?
Well his Steveness just got off the stage at the WWDC. He gave us everything we’d hoped to see including Panther, the G5, and even some little surprises. Once again he also is giving us a $129 upgrade fee should we wish to take advantage of Panther’s new capabilities.

The Jayhawks have certainly been influential in Americana since their 1986 self-titled debut album. They’ve been a part of the evolving genre for as long as the argument over what to call it.
