		<title>How to Sell Records: Say Something Ridiculous, Capitalize on the Exposure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So what do Stevie Nicks, John Cougar Mellencamp, and Prince have in common? 
They all think the Internet is damaging the music industry. At first I thought, &#8220;what the hell?&#8221; Then, it dawned on me. Either they are completely out-of-touch or they are marketing geniuses.

		<title>Fighting the Paradox of Choice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No idea why I keep obsessing over this topic. Digital abundance.. fundamentally good for society, right?
