We’ve officially launched the new STA Travel Music website!
As you know, we’ve been working with the awesome team at STA Travel on the World Traveler Internship website (US will announce the two interns April 13!). For this project, we had the opportunity to work with STA on a website dedicated to music.
STA Travel Music is built on WordPress, with a dash of jQuery and PHP in the mix...
Target’s marketing group has become nearly famous for running a unique commercial every month featuring a song from a usually obscure artist. It’s amazing how each commercial will actually fuel the sales of that particular song for a few months afterwards. If you watch on iTunes, you’ll see said song jump to that artist’s “top songs” list in very short time.
This month’s commercial features Dolly Parton’s “More Where That Came From,” which I just love. (Sue me.)
While most of the commercials are nothing more than an exercise in gluttonous exposure with overly ambiguous messaging, I just love this particular one because the song is just perfect for the message of the commercial...
Music is something that has always been a huge part of my life.

Event and ticket information can be found at www.bendstudio.com...
To be laser focused, the right tunes are essential. My lists of favorite artists are from Bob Dylan to Skinny Puppy. For getting serious work done though, I need less words and minimal beats. In my Sennheisers tonight: powered by ODEO
We started the RD2 Christmas music listening yesterday. The general feeling is that, cynics be damned, six days out (five now) is fair game for a little community Christmas spirit-bringing through music.
I, personally, quite enjoy some good holiday music. Notice the word choice: good holiday music. Sappy songs about saving up to buy your poor mother shoes need not apply.
Great Christmas albums I’ve been listening to this season:
Ray Charles – The Spirit of Christmas The Blind Boys of Alabama – Go Tell it on the Mountain Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy David Jr...
