Speaking of record labels..

Pardon me because I don’t know the whole story but did I hear the other day that that Castro dude American Idol contestant just recently got a record deal? I think he said it took a year?

I’m not talking here about whether or not he should get a deal. Just how could it possibly take that long?

couldn’t agree more.. what’s painful is that they’re working towards the ruin of the industry for the perceived short term gains. just like a lot of over industries at the moment..

i got a bit emotional about this in my post: (warning: there is swearing)

Learning in it’s simplest form is adoption (DNA) to ones environment.
Learning for the brain is just fast adoption
If innovation is a form of expressing something new learned by fast adoption. They admit that the have no brain, just do evolution (DNA).
Now, we declare a Patient dead after the brain dies.
Ergo they are dead (no brain).

Ok to much fun.
