Bahama Journal – The Bahama Journal – Mar 19, 2008
Bahamian music is the music that is indigenous to the Bahamas that represents the Bahamas. You can have people in the Bahamas who play reggae music. That is not Bahamian music because reggae is from Jamaica” Mr. “Bahamian music is music that represents and depicts the Bahamas the lifestyles of the Bahamas…the mood and the spirit of the Bahamian people.

FF THE WALL
San Diego Union Tribune – Mar 19, 2008
And you know we eventually got to that point with my old band Treepeople and then we had to start over again with Built to Spill. But getting signed to a label and then making money off it was never my intention at all. So what kind of music do you listen to?I mostly listen to old soul music and reggae and stuff. I got an iPod last year and loaded it up with those things and with things I listened to when I was young. And I shuffle it all the time. What did you listen to when you were growing up?Well when I was a little kid I listened to the radio all the time.

At SXSW chaos is music to the ears
Youngstown Vindicator – Mar 19, 2008
If nothing else the conference was a window into how drastically the music industry has changed in the era of music file-sharing and shrinking record-sale revenue. Record companies are no longer dominant. In their place a new power elite has arisen that includes music supervisors (who license songs for placement in ads TV shows and movies) and booking agents (who line up the tours where bands make most of their money). The Big 4 major labels were barely a presence at the year?s most prestigious music conference but corporations with tenuous music connections were throwing money around with impunity. File-sharing has led to a world in which ?music is valued at zero? said Jeremy Wineberg a talent scout for Invisible DJ Records ?but it?s used to sell other products. ? Wineberg participated in a panel devoted to the notion that artists need ?more consumer touch points? than ever to have a career which is corporate-speak for what used to be known in the punk community as ?selling out. ??When you work so hard and so long for free it?s awfully hard to turn down big money from some stupid corporation? Wineberg said… She and Him paired ace guitarist M. Ward with fledgling actress-turned-singer Zooey Deschanel on a series of soaring pop-soul torch songs. Some of the biggest buzz surrounded Santogold who delivered with a series of reggae-inflected dance grooves punctuated by her knack for big singalong choruses. The Ting Tings are a British duo that flips the White Stripes? script: male drummer and female guitarist who knocked out enthusiastic cleanly played melodies with a minimum of fuss. Best of all was the Israeli trio Monotonix who shunned their stage setup to play most of their set in the middle of the 100 or so people fortunate enough to see them. The band ripped out a crude distorted brand of hard rock derived from the MC5. But the recordings don?t do them justice.
