Good news

January 29, 2001 by Michael Boyle

from the music world – we’ll probably start paying for Napster in June. I think it’s good news because I have never been able to reconcile the fact that although I love Napster’s service, I also make money doing freelance work for which I expect to be paid – quite like musicians do. That hasn’t stopped me from using Napster, but I did draw a line in the sand (and I realize that it’s a BS line I drew, but anyhow) and never downloaded whole albums to burn, for example. With hope the rate will be affordable enough to be accepted by the masses of Napster users.

Just learned from Heather

January 25, 2001 by Michael Boyle

that Dan Gallagher died yesterday. I don’t have such personal memories of him and his work, but I remember that particular heyday of Canadian music well (the late 80s-early 90s, back when John “JD” Roberts from CBS was a VJ) and he was a real standup guy for friends of mine in bands (as I recall).
