Organic, fair-trade, shade-grown music

Piping Hot Fresh from Kristin Hersh and ThrowingMusic:
CASH Music Project - An Introduction
ThrowingMusic is happy to announce an entirely new musical endeavor. We’re calling it the Coalition of Artists & Stake Holders, or the “CASH Music Project”. CASH Music represents a new music business model which we hope you’ll not only support but also help us shape, by sharing with us your thoughts, suggestions & opinions.
Over the next couple of weeks, we will come to you with a new kind of offering from Kristin. We’re planning lots of great new content, including a brand-new studio recording posted to Kristin’s blog every month — free of charge.
We’re committed to not holding music hostage, the music will be free. We’ll be asking for donations and offer you the opportunity to subscribe to Kristin’s career — past, present and future.
The business of music clearly needs an overhaul. We’re going to present our ideas – and with your help, we’ll endeavor to create a sustainable, fair-trade music business model.
This will be a strictly independent and self-sustaining venture – for better or for worse. No record label, no distributor, no middle-man – just Kristin, the songs and you.
We’re hoping to finally take the leap and see what all of us together, as a small but enthusiastic community of ‘stake-holders’ can do for ourselves.
Thank you for reading this far — we’ll be in touch soon!
I can’t wait to see what happens next, and not just because I heart all things Kristin.

A year ago, I met with two associates over coffee about forming a company. Countless e-mails and early morning meetings later, The 6th Republic is now a reality. The homepage is temporary until we are able to launch our web site with all the bells and whistles, we needed an HTML version of our one-sheet for partners and potential clients. We are all very excited with the client work and future of our company—moving from a sole proprietorship into a corporation, I am truly working for myself and it feels great.
Now I just need to find time to transition my web site. Hell, I just need an assistant.

I snapped this photo whilst in Milano, knowing full well that someday soon I, too, would hold the Prada mobile in my hands. That someday is today. Well, this afternoon after the phone is fully charged.
Everything about the packaging design says luxury. How can I not love Miuccia? I ask you. That was rhetorical, like when you see a homeless kid on the street covered in piercings and tattoos asking you for spare change. “So you’re poor. Huh.”
A reason to finally heart my .Mac account

More online storage for .Mac members
Thank the fuck God for the boost to iDisk storage, 250MB was simply not enough to store all my fantabulous mixes for friends. Now that 10GB will soon grace my .Mac storage, I plan to throw up as many mixes as possible. What, you thought I would use the extra space for photo galleries to share with family and friends? Honey, that’s what flickr is for. I am a music whore, I know how to make the most of my space. Trust.
