I have been remiss in reporting interesting news items and other people’s blog posts as of late. I have a whole list of them tagged for blogging (which you can always check out by visiting my link blog), but I’ve been so busy with the stories, articles, audio, and video projects that I’ve kind of dropped the ball on that aspect of the blog.

Here’s a brief rundown of some of the interesting items I’ve been reading recently. Expect more posts like this soon.

  • Peabody Double Bass Blog This new blog from Peabody bass faculty members Jeff Weisner, John Hood, and Paul Johnson is being regularly updated with new content. I think that this blog is a prime example of how musicians can use technological resources like blogs for educational purposes, and I encourage people to check it out. Jeff Weisner has been writing a multi-part series titled Shopping for a Music School. This is highly recommended reading for any musician embarking on the music school selection and audition process. Check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 of this very useful series.
  • Copying Your Own CD is Stealing That’s what the RIAA is claiming. Rip a CD to your computer for listening on your iPod? You’re stealing it. So they say. Yet another reason to hate the major labels. Via Mashable.
