There used to be a time in my life where all I wanted to do was write and perform music, those days seem so foreign to me now but it used to define me. At the height of my rock journey I was performing in three different bands, spending every free moment listening to music, and every occupied moment day dreaming of rock superstardom. While those dreams are gone, and not greatly missed, I do miss being on stage and rocking out with good buds. As a fun way to re-live and remember the rush of rocking out I put together the above video " For the Record: A History of Eight Miles Out. " Today my musical endeavors are quite different; I write kids songs for a small childrens program  , I score documentaries , and write upbeat tunes for the travel show I produce . So while I may be out of the race, I haven't completely given up the game.

I am a huge Google fanboy. I use Youtube, Google Reader, Picasa, Maps, Analytics, Gmail, Calendar, Tasks, Bookmarks, Documents, Buzz, G+, and I have an Android phone. All that and most recently I started using Google Music - and like the rest of their products - gMusic just owns. Back in College I lived and breathed music. That's me dancing on stage at a Dismemberment Plan show right before they broke up. I went to more concerts, bought more cds and messed around with the "scene" more than any one person should. I was obsessed with finding cool new tunes and I didn't care what genre they fit into as long as they were awesome. To say those days have passed is an under statement. I haven't bought tickets to a concert in probably 5 years, I spend close to no time searching out new music, and me and the scene? Ha! Well there is no way Google Music can restore all of that but damn if it hasn't brought back my love for little known (at least to me) music
