Honest! Been a very busy week - getting into new rhythms and things - I am digging the new Friday. I'm currently re-writing all the liner notes on the music2work2 website and re-structuring the pages - things move so quickly and I am very thankful for that.
Getting in some early thanks:

Here's to a fabulous weekend and coming week.
One of the blogs that I subscribe to is a musician centric blog called http://www.musicianwages.com - essential reading if you're going to make a career of this music thing! The content might be a little specific for most readers but they recently sent out an all inclusive request asking for input on the question - What is a Musician? I've been asking myself that one for decades now and couldn't resist a slightly tongue in cheek response - you'll find it at the bottom of the list - What is a Musician?
So it's Saturday and I'm sitting here putting the correct meta-data on all the free 5 minute samples at music2work2.com - should have done this a while ago - you can stream the track, download the sample and you don't even need to register! Anyway - while I'm doing this I'm listening to Travis' new album Ode to J. Smith streaming at Spin.com, I'm on my second listen and it's pretty damn cool. My sister introduced me to Travis and I fell in love with their album The Man Who - they're almost, but not entirely unlike if you took say - Radiohead, Oasis, Weezer and perhaps Nickel Creek - mixed them around and then gave whatever came out a big bowl of something.
You can check out the Travis' official site here - I just went looking for the album on Amazon - it isn't there - bummer. Interestingly enough the album image on the front page is a link to the itunes store - and I can't see any other way of buying the album - you know - if they'd had a little widget that I could have put in this post with a listen and a purchase link - then I would have!
Oh and thanks to @tindle for getting me to blog this.
