Yes, I’m going to blog about Apple. For all of you Microsoft PC folks I suggest heading over to our Video page – there’s nothing for you here.
Our Blog
This isn’t really a music blog, but rather a brief notification that we will be entering a two-week band hiatus as I head to Italy for a much needed vacation!
The best way to describe it is “Instagram for video.” The app, which was created and released by the Twitter people, allows you to create a 6 second video that plays in a loop. It operates as most Social sites do – follow people, tag friends, hashtag topics – and as most Social sites go, some of it is very creative and clever and some of it is just plain stupid.
Boston music blog Allston Pudding has put together the ultimate mixtape to benefit the victims of the Marathon tragedy. Shortly after putting out the request for artists to donate tracks, 130 predominantly local bands answered the call and subsequently built an incredibly diverse and poignant collection of songs.
I am not a eloquent writer. While I may have a way with words lyrically, writing about specific feelings on a blog can be quite difficult. I’m sure lots of people are searching for the right words to say about what happened at the Boston Marathon on Monday.

More recently it seems that clubbing, drinking, and dancing have become the vapid expression. But whether it’s breaking up or break dancing, without cliches, where would we be? You’ll easily wipe out 80% of Cahill’s music library if you eliminate cliches.
I watched a documentary the other night called Side By Side that presented various perspectives from a variety of A-list Hollywood directors on the growing transition from film to digital in the movie industry.
