Jay Bennett

I was in the northwoods of Minnesota all weekend, and I am horribly embarrassed that I missed this. I don’t have a whole lot to say that other people haven’t already said, so I will leave you with a song, and links to a few eulogies and other such sundries.

The Tangelo
Perhaps more than 3500 years old, the tangelo is a citrus fruit resembling an orange, but is in fact a product of crossing a grapefruit with a tangerine. A tangelo is characterized by a slightly dark rind than an orange, and a sweeter taste than a grapefruit. They are, like this blog, thin-skinned and juiceaaaay.
In the spirit of the tangelo (a hybrid fruit), we try to feature music that is not easily thrown into a particular genre - a "hybrid" of many genres, if you will.
The Man
We are posting mp3s of 128-160kbps, which are not generally acceptable for any sort of serious listening. If you think that your lack of sales is a direct result of this blog, we will gladly remove the offending tracks. If our readers prefer low-bitrate transcodes over albums, chances are you weren't making any money off them anyway. All mp3s are removed after 30 days.
The Fans
Please support your favorite musicians. You preference in music is of little concern to us; it is your involvement that counts. You can buy CDs, buy mp3s, or go to shows. They wouldn't be able to make music if it wasn't for your support. Where do you think these mp3s come from, anyway?

Thanks for the tip – I might have to do a post on that too.
