Pandora's Box On The Internet
By Jerry Flattum - 06/28/2006 - 08:21 AM EDT

In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first woman on Earth. Her name means "all gifted," but of course, most people know about her through the myth of Pandora's Box. The Gods gave Pandora a box and was told not to open it. Being naturally curious, she opened it, and out flew all the evils of the world. Well, the myth has since undergone several interpretations and Pandora's Box can mean just about anything you want it to mean. Meanwhile, Pandora.com is one of the most exciting music endeavors on the Internet. Masquerading as a kind of Internet radio, instead of unleashing evil, Pandora.com is a way to experience new music without commercialized agendas. For songwriters, it's a songwriting tool.

Cri$i$ in the Arts--What's Going On?
By Cheryl Mullen - 06/10/2006 - 11:55 PM EDT

It is hardly a secret that the arts are suffering financially. But things seem to be getting worse at an alarming rate. Big names and venues are monopolized by corporate greed, smaller venues are shutting down left and right, smaller names are struggling more than ever to earn a living, and the non-filthy rich are finding it increasingly difficult to find quality live entertainment at a price they can actually afford. This piece discusses some of the factors that have contributed to this mess.
