Total Pop Mayhem (The NYE Mixtape)
Here Come the Year-End Mashups!
It really is the most wonderful time of the year: Christmas season in full-swing, and an onslaught of awesome mashups are released into the wild. This month the music industry is looking back and rounding up the year’s best, but gone are the days where we looked solely to VH1, MTV, TRL, Billboard magazine, and your local Clear Channel monopoly to reminisce about the artists who ruled the...

Billboard Hot 100 Year-End Chart Predictions
Check out my picks for the Top 25 Songs of 2011 based on the Hot 100 over at Billboard. I looked at how much time these songs spent in the top 10 during the year, and mixed in a little bit of my personal preferences too; we’ll see how close I got when the year-end charts drop in a few weeks!

Re Frank Calzon’s Sept. 8 Other Views article Ping-Pong diplomacy changes little in Cuba and Joe Cardona’s Sept 10 piece, Jim Cason’s work in Cuba offered ‘refreshing approach’: Like Calzon, I remain puzzled as to why many today continue to refer to the passion and commitment of Cuban Americans to human rights...

Turntable.fm’s been one of my favorite online music sites to come around in the last few years. It’s been exciting watching it pick up steam over the summer, even in the midst of other big music announcements such as cloud offerings from Amazon, Google, and Apple - and the big U.S. launch of Spotify. Essentially, Turntable.fm is like social ‘Pandora’ - users take turns...

One of the best things about the digital information age is how much access we have to shared knowledge on life, happiness, chasing your dreams, and what being ‘in the zone’ is really all about.

Cubans ask: Why should Cuba be different? →
…as the free world supported the departure of Egypt’s Mubarak and is presently attempting to bomb Gadhafi into submission, the demands on the Cuban government to modify its tyrannical rule are meager and anemic at best.

When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes
Changing keys, giving up on me to find familiar things and try blending in Know this please I will not forget the sound of you and me when we were friends Someday everything ends Can’t we begin finding out the night before we’re too late And lost in between the truth and the dream I’ve never been more ready to move on
