Tom Thumb
ZuZu was a full room late tonight for Tom Thumb (AKA Andy) and his new indie rock band. He was a singer/songwriter sort of guy until six months ago when friends on bass, drums and keyboards joined in. Michael's bookstore cohort Molly plays the keyboard and sings backup. Hopefully they'll get some ...
The Fuss About Marqui Paying Bloggers to Write About The Company
On a whim last week I sent an email to Marqui, curious about their new program in the works to pay a couple dozen webloggers to write about them as a new way of finding clients and generating press. Looking through the information on their website, it seemed interesting. They'd pay $800/month for ...

New additions to Exploit Boston! Radio
On Sunday I added a bunch of tunes to Exploit Boston! Radio, my internet radio station on Live365.com's network.

Best Spam Ever and Gabriel Jeffrey’s New Book
[UPDATE: So much for it being a random email. The book author gave the publisher my email. ;)] I think I've got an email that may qualify as the best spam I've ever received. The publisher of Gabriel Jeffrey's new book sent me an email. I suppose this is the first time I've received ......
Online Before the Music Starts
I'm at the Paradise Lounge for the monthly Mix Tape Tuesday hosted by Mike Viola of the Candy Butchers. So I get to be semi-productive while the bands set up. Fun! Thanks to whoever left their WiFi network open. ;)

Jeff Tweedy’s Tidbits About Music and the Internet
I'm a big fan of Wilco. Singer Jeff Tweedy was recently interviewed in Wired Magazine and among many eloquent tidbits, had this to say. We live in a connected world now. Some find that frightening. If people are downloading our music, they're listening to it. The internet is like radio for us. What if there...
Nebraska Photos on flickr
I love the "tags" feature at flickr. This is a photo from phactiondc's Nebraska 04 photo set.
What’s Old is New Again
Exploit Boston! is alive. Oh, I know. You've heard that before. I started to write a long, personal, blathering entry about the past three years (I first registered the exploitboston.com domain about three years ago) but decided to keep the personal tidbits out of this little alert. Needless to say, I'm thrilled this ...
