Ooh, this is a fun blog today. A blog straight from the mailbag. Recently, a song was emailed to me with the subject line "Funky dance song by Loco Domingo called It's Loco Time." I was immediately intrigued and pressed play on the .wav attachment posthaste.
Happy Monday-after-Thanksgiving from your faithful blogger, Molly "Content Verticals" O'Brien. I hope everyone doesn't have The Fear too bad today. Yesterday I cooked an entire Thanksgiving dinner with my husband for a new tradition we are called "Thanksgiving 2" (designed mostly so

It's time for a new edition of Three Music Thingz, where I ask musical artists to share three things (thingz) that are essential to their music-making. Music is not made in a vacuum. You need thingz to make it. Today we have Devon Thompson sharing her three thingz!
