Days when you can find your own photography as album art on iTunes can't be bad days, right? I really have no use for MySpace. When I was online, it really only served as yet another inbox to check. But I did get to meet this really cool singer/songwriter chick who asked if she could use my photo as her album cover. And now "Album Cover Art" can be crossed off of my List Of Things To Do Before I Die.
As I write this, Apple just sent me an e-mail expaining that they're now offering over 2 million iTunes Plus songs (songs that are free of DRM and can be played on any MP3 player and limitless computers) for 99ยข each. Yet another nudge towards progress for the music industry. I never understood why record labels were so ferocious about Digital-Rights-Management. If you're packaging your own music without copy protection of any kind, it's unreasonable to ask online merchants to do the same. What's the difference? If I buy your CD in a store, I can make thousands of copies and give them to my friends. But buying one song and sharing it with more than 5 people is somehow going to bankrup the record industry? Riiiiight.

CONGRATS on the album cover art - that's freakin' cool!!! Wish I could say I have the same...maybe some day!
Glad to have you back online!!!
