Screw you, RIAA.

Goddam jerkoffs at the RIAA have forced Groove Salad off the air with their new fee rates for broadcasting streams.
Damn it! These guys had some of the best streams on the internet. I found this out (somewhat late) when I tried playing one of their streams at a get-together on Friday night. Nothing more depressing than to find out what kind of crap CARP is dishing out to internet broadcasters. The Zuckervati stream is still online for now, and I’m going to keep broadcasting as long as I can. Luckily, no one is listening, so I’m pretty much safe for now. No listeners means no royalties (heh). However, if things get any worse, I’ll start broadcasting my own music, or simply cycle the Station IDs until a better day dawns — or until I get bored of it.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
