The Limited Edition CD’s arrived the other day.

So that meant some time spent at our trusty old dining table with Sharpie in hand.  I personally sliced open the backs of each CD so I could sign my name and number them.  THAT’S devotion to one’s art, friends.

The ‘STOP TRYING’ Top 100 contest is wheeling on, thanks to some group named The Beatles.  Their return to the charts meant an influx of sales that skewed the entire system and pushed all of us non-senior-citizens down a peg or one hundred.

So, keep on spreading the word and keep sending in your iTunes receipts when you buy ‘Priceless’ and we’ll give away the iPod Nano after we’ve been in the Top 100 for one week.  Click here to buy ‘Priceless’. Then send your receipt to mail@brittlestar.com to get entered into the contest!

I did a newspaper interview today.  In it I was asked about the state of the music business currently (or maybe I just prattled on about it).

I realized something interesting.  Music has suddenly spread itself almost exclusively to two different ends of the spectrum.

On one side it is completely part of the environment.  It is everywhere.  Played in the background and becoming part of the furniture.

On the other it is a completely personal and private experience for all the iPod listeners.

The middle ground of sitting down to listen to music seems archaic now.  I still do, but surely I’m not normal.
