Here are some links to my favorite bands, musicians and other fun things. Please support my friends and colleagues by following these links to their sites and take some time to listen to the clips, watch the videos, read about their creative drive and, GASP!, possibly buy something. If you aren’t comfortable purchasing the entire album directly from the artist keep in mind that iTunes is a pretty good for deal indie music and you can usually get a track for $1.
