GDC, formerly Scandinavia’s largest distributor of CDs and other recorded media has gone into receivership. Hundreds of record labels small and large are now furiously rushing about trying to find alternative ways of getting their product to the customer. Unfortunately.

As I sit here listening to Reflections by Thelonious Monk and gazing at my one week old baby daughter, my first child, and my last, my girlfriend informs me ;-), I find my thoughts drifting back across time to my own childhood. More than that, I reflect over the paths that I have chosen and how […]
