The Life and Times of Sooz

I remember watching Live Aid with my mom and sisters on our farm outside of Scribner, Nebraska in 1985. Seems crazy that it was twenty years ago! Fast forward to today and they've got Live 8 in the works. Technorati is tracking blogging about Live 8 and they're doing a "blog for tickets" ...

Update June 27, 2005: Pete Caputa wrote a related blog entry titled "Bloggers vs Journalists: Agendas."

A couple weeks ago Pete Caputa introduced me to a reporter who was working on a "getting paid to blog" story for the Boston Globe. Thanks, Pete! (That's sincere despite my rant throughout the rest of this entry.)

Unfortunately the ...

While looking for some information on the Capitol Records website I found a link to this page about missing royaltors. Kind of funny. I don't recognize any of the artists on their MIA list. I'm assuming POWER STATION is not the same Power Station that Robert Palmer was in. I'm particularly ...

Cameron Marlow is conducting a weblog author survey in conjunction with his Ph.D. studies at MIT. The study runs through Monday, June 27, 2005.

Exploit Boston has always been a little heavy on music related events because that's the sorts of events I'm personally most interested in. Michael has stepped up as book/literary editor so the site is going to see a lot more in that area. I'd like to conspire with another human who would like ...

Michael and I had a blast at last night's Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' concert at The Tweeter Center. The Black Crowes put on a great show as the opener, too. I was up front with five other photographers during the first five songs of Tom Petty's show. Words and photos are over ...

I've got a long entry in the works regarding "WordPress vs Movable Type" and why I decided to keep Exploit Boston on Movable Type. But I'm running late to get some errands done before the Tom Petty concert tonight so I thought I'd try to appease the CSS gods out there in the ...

I'm curious who out there in sooz.com readerland uses flickr. Send me an email and point me to your photostream on flickr or post the tidbits in the comments of this entry. Thanks! If you subscribe to my RSS feed via FeedBurner you'll receive pointers to the latest photos I've added to ...

Last night I finally met Jack Saturn in person. We've known each other online since 1998. One of his bands from Portland Oregon, The Culottes, played a show at ZuZu in Central Square. They've got free MP3s and an EP for sale on their website. Good stuff!

The Culottes play simple short ...
