Here's a pleasant time-suck activity for a lazy Friday.

A Savior On Capital Hill, Derek Webb (ht. Morgan)

First the blogosphere connected artists virtually ignored by radio and media to a potential audience of millions.  Now, Derek Webb and company are connecting that audience to free music which label’s have been unable to sell large amounts of using traditional methods like brick and mortar stores and discount stickers.

Music Business Of Old, meet the latest nail in your coffin.

No, I’m not talking about the celebration that starts tomorrow, though it will be loud. I expect to wake up several times during the night, as the neighbors work to blow up half of the town. What I am here to talk about sits on the cusp of the media revolution, screaming even louder to those who try to prevent the change.

I went to get the mail today, and retrieved my copy of Derek Webb & Sandra McCracken’s “Ampersand EP”. Needless to say, I’m ecstatic. Ever since stumbled upon this record a few months ago, I’ve wanted to get a copy of it.

I’ve accumulated a lot of music videos of varying kinds in my YouTube favorites folder, so I figured I should post them. They don’t necessarily relate to each other in any way. Enjoy.

Hey Ya! Cover song (4:31)

Some of my 3 readers may be familiar with a singer/songwriter (I feel so Nashville just saying that) named Derek Webb. I am actually more likely to pay to see his wife, Sandra McCracken, perform than I am him, but nonetheless I really enjoy his music. But I digress...
