Camper Van Beethoven guitarist David Lowery has posted a full transcript of a forthcoming address on the digital revolution in music through The Trichordist ; a curated blog subtitled 'Artists For An Ethical Internet' . Lowery will be delivering the speech in person at the San Francisco MusicTech Summit on the 9th of October, 2012, but has posted it in it's entirety months ahead of time.
The Bill in question is Bill Wilson, musician and professor, who taught his sons Sam, Abe and James "how play the guitar, write songs, drive a stick-shift, and back up a trailer."

New March 27 album Sirens , produced by David Lowery (Cracker, Camper Van Beethoven), leaps out of the gate with a vengeance as "Santa Ana Winds" and the the bristling title [...]

DavidLoweryMusic.com In what proves to be one of the more compelling reasons not to skip class, Cracker frontman David Lowery married his longtime significant other -- not to mention, his band's manager -- Velena Vego during a music business class. According to the AP , the pair tied the knot during a ceremony at the University of Georgia, where Lowery teaches for the music business program. Though the two actually wed a year ago in California, the paperwork was never filed and so the couple made it official on [...]

David Lowery: The Palace Guards David Lowery founded Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker but his solo record (his first in 27 years of music), recorded with various friends, is a departure from both. What you get is a diversity of ideas: songs that have the quality to keep you listening as the band and their leader constantly switch styles, from the psychedelic country of 'Deep Oblivion' to the rocked-out frantic apology 'Baby, All Those Girls [...]

February's come and gone, and I am overdue for a new mix. These were in the queue for a bit, and I finally had a chance to mix them.
