MMD--Mental Musical Database

Hi FOK (Friends of Kaleidoscope) - not so sure about that acronym...
A reminder to you all that, amidst the backstage transitioning to Phase 2--The Upgrade, our services are still continuing in all other kinds of musical consulting and support. So we want to keep in touch with you, and make sure you are in on the ground floor of all the great things to come. We remain committed to being an equipping and networking source more than ever, right down to these little nuggets for your perusal with all that free time you've got. Seriously, take some time for Research and Development. It always seems to get ruthlessly swept under the rug, but as we can attest over the past year, it has been such a key for our growth in both musical and business savvy. So ward off the "tyranny of the urgent" and give yourself snippets of time here and there to just LEARN. For instance, how about these:

The Phoenix mag--50 states article
Believer mag--annual music issue
Marketing lessons from Guns and Roses

Let us info junkies know what you are learning...

3. A newsflash about the supposed upcoming obsolescence of recording studios (and for the record, I believe in the upcoming obsolescence of the word "obsolescence", but not of recording studios, for many many reasons--see if you react with the same healthy skepticism as I did)

Happy reading, thinking, feeling, and learning - let's keep our musical minds in a state of "growing knowing". Comments welcomed...
