		<title>Review: Opeth / Heritage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Opeth&#8217;s Heritage is probably the only &#8220;mainstream&#8221; album that got my attention in all of 2011. It may seem I&#8217;m a little late in reviewing an album that came out last year &#8212; but I&#8217;m a believer in the timelessness of art (a.k.a the ability for it to be valid for more than four months), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why You Should Judge Your Own Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently published my first sci-fi short story, called Cuyahoga! I&#8217;d like to share a perfect case of why it&#8217;s important to not take any criticism of your work too seriously &#8212; whether it&#8217;s &#8220;positive&#8221; or &#8220;negative.&#8221; Either way, if you base the value of your work on the tastes of others, you&#8217;ll definitely be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Music About Music: A Bad Idea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Music about music&#8221; is a bad idea. It reduces music to a zombie, kept alive by math. This is what happens when musicians get so caught up in their techniques and and tools and music theory that they forget music is a symbolic art form. Music should mean something.

		<title>Sorry, No More Free Music.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For 3.5 years, I offered my entire discography for free download, through the (now gone) Dr. Zoltan website. Here&#8217;s what I was thinking: 1.) I don&#8217;t care about my music career. 2.) It&#8217;s better for 1,000 people to hear my music for free than it is for 100 people to pay for it. 3.) Most [...]]]></description>

		<title>No, I Don&#8217;t Want To Watch My Thoughts On TV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You can officially consider me an old man, and maybe even a luddite. I&#8217;m not thrilled about this new technology that can supposedly turn your thoughts into video. (Of course, you&#8217;ll find out it doesn&#8217;t, if you read the article and not just the headline.) Regardless, the problem is this: the majority of us are [...]]]></description>
