Our Music- Volume 2. is published.

The latest issue of my column, Our Music, is now up at http://www.cdbabel.com/OurMusic.html

It is the first of a two part series on MP3's. I'm very excited to have an outlet in which to be more overt about my, shall we say, socio-musical agenda. It was very difficult to come up with a title, but I settled on Our Music because what I'm really trying to push is a sense of ownership in our culture. It's not only our responsibility to pass down tradition, but also to change them. Musicians and fans should be as active as possible in this process. Industry has done most of the work for too long.

I'm hoping to combine some scholarship in this venture without having to hide my own passion on the subject. I hope you enjoy it. It's the first writing I've done since college and the first time I've ever written in this style. Your feeback is more than welcome. You can leave it here or write to ourmusic@scottalexandermusic.com (I may even post your letter in a future column!
