I hung out at Scott Jacoby’s studio yesterday, watched him mix a track, had lunch, shot the breeze, etc. He was so great to come up to my class at Yale, and we just kinda hit it off, personally, too. (Bob Donnelly, who recommended him to me, is rarely wrong.) Inspired by Scott and his workspace, I decided I would take the weekend to clean up around here. One idea was to scan my press clippings and get rid of the fire hazard that is all the paper that has accumulated.

Special thanks to guest speakers Eliot Van Buskirk (Evolver.fm) and Mantis Evar (Indaba Music), who spoke about the disruptive technologies at the bleeding edge of music creation, consumption and dissemination.

Break out the threadbare cardigan sweaters: I will be teaching a seminar at Yale University entitled “The Art and Business of Songwriting.” Course description: “Music sits at the forefront of creative and technological revolutions, and songwriting remains the fundamental form of its expression. This seminar will focus on establishing a personal songwriting voice, and then explore a song’s application within the fundamentally shifting industries of film, TV and the Web via crowd sourcing, collaboration and copyright.” Sounds good, right?

Last week, a slew of newscasters around the country were caught reciting the exact same press release for a new ice cream app. Conan O’Brien’s folks caught them, pulled the footage and strung it together. Then Team Coco sent it to me to put to music.
