Soundtrack to the metamorphosis...

Everything old is new again...what goes around comes around...there is nothing new under the sun.

The NEW current soundtrack to our in-progress business and personal metamorphosis is...OLD. Specifically, VINYL, baby, VINYL! For instance this morning, the soundtrack to our morning ritual was Jeff Beck's version of "Goin' Down" by Freddie King and others--on vinyl. Recently my husband, AKA lovable frankensteinian vinyl monster, has purchased for me some estrogen vinyl: Rita Coolidge, vintage Amy Grant--that I bopped along with in my childhood bedroom-- she and I have basically grown up together, and of course--Bella Donna by my she-ro Stevie Nicks. It's fun to see more and more limited edition vinyl as part of the marketing for musical products. What can we forecast from this? Maybe what I've been saying all along, that the music industry is poised for a major backlash against the shallow destructive status quo. Maybe the "wild dog on a leash" called the music industry is ready to be "yanked back into submission" by--you?--me?--passionate musicians fed-up with mediocrity force-fed into our psychic cultural veins without alternative or escape? If you resonate with this sentiment, connect with us. You will find kindred spirits on the move toward higher levels of musical truth and prosperity, fueled much more in some ways by the days of musical old than the "daze" of musical new.

BUSINESS UPDATE: 3 words: location, location, location! Still finalizing our search for the perfect spot to set up shop, and tying up loose ends for old business from the Urbandale office days. All the stuff with both the business and the band are integrated in this same new endeavor, as well as other key ingredients in the new multi-faceted project we're working on. Items have been steadily falling into place, as a "fuzzy picture coming into focus" slower and more difficult than we expected, but with a clearer vision of what is coming, and increased potential for even bigger and better results. Though it's been more than a little frustrating to keep the details under wraps all this time, this continues to be critical to the successful launch that is forthcoming. But be assured, Kaleidoscope is alive and well, and will be back in your face at the appropriate near-future time. Until then, we're still here creating, consulting, networking, and growing.
