Drive By Comments

I've done my daily tour of the web and noted a few things that may merit your interest.

1. The Tracks Vs. Bands debate rages on with more than 150 comments and no signs of stopping at the Sogospelnews forum. (I'm pro-band, but I'm far from anti-track. I'm a realistic member of two different male quartets that use tracks plus piano. However, I see the advantages of having all live musicians, but only IF they are talented enough to add to the program.)

2. Is it just me, or does this strike you as being odd? A new gospel newspaper is being formed "in memory of" Paul Boden, who owned U. S. Gospel News. There's certainly nothing wrong with announcing the formation of a new gospel newspaper so soon after Boden's death, but to dedicate the new venture to the recently deceased owner of a competing publication strikes me as...well, I've already said how it strikes me.

UPDATE: I've written USGN to ask if the new publication will replace USGN. If this is indeed a replacement for USGN, then the dedication makes sense, but if that were the case, you'd think the press release would have mentioned that salient fact. On the other hand, if a group of writers have left USGN en masse to form a directly competing venture, then tying the new paper to Boden's name is just...well, you know...I'll let you know what I find out.

3. Danny Jones had a great blog entry yesterday about gripe-happy morons who think Singing News runs NQC (and he manages to say it much more politely than I just did).

4. Sooner or later, everyone who bemoans the censorship of ideas on the internet squelches a discussion of their own. I suppose we all have our sensitive topics, yours truly included.

5. Daniel J. Mount has churned out a bunch of entries since throwing his hat into the blog ring a couple of weeks ago. CD reviews, news articles, interviews, etc...and he's getting a lot more comments than Musicscribe.
