Great video on the creative process by Ira Glass (This American Life). The main point is that if you want to make really good work, you need create and then discard much of it. It's only through sheer volume that can you generate a steady stream of good work.
This is why editors and collaborators are so important to the creative process.
Quoted:
- It's time to kill. It's time to enjoy the killing. Because, by killing, you will make something else even better live.
- Not enough gets said about the importance of abandoning crap.
- All radio/television production is trying to be crap.

A high altitude balloon flight in 2006 has reveals a very strong source of background radiation from an unknown source.
Add this to the Dark Matter, and Dark Energy mysteries, and we may have some sort of new cosmological model?

Just listened to this week's This American Life - Starlee Kine, a writer, not a musician, decides it's theraputic to write a "break-up" song; and even gets to talk to Phil Collins about it. Great story - and her song has some promising lyrics.
NPR is hosting a contest to remix or create other performances of her song. Contest submission date: Sept 30, 2007.
