Emmy Award winning Director Eric Paul Fournier and Independent Film Producer Anna Kauffman are having a Revolutionary Sale – A Sale for (Spare) Change. This unconventional approach to fundraising is an effort to raise the finishing funds needed for their documentary Race to the White House.

After a two-year effort of chasing presidential candidates across the nation, Race to the White House (a working title) is nearing completion. The documentary addresses the racial temperature of America 40 years after the Civil Rights Movement, using the journey of Barack Obama, his candidacy, and his first year in office as the conduit to tell this historic tale. www.racetowhitehousemovie.com

Every year, the trade papers are filled with stories about how this year was worse than last year.  If the music execs were hoping we'd get so tired of reading that story that we'd start to ignore it — you know, 'the boy who cried wolf' routine — it hasn't happened.

Instead, the tearing of clothes, the wailing, and the gnashing of teeth have only reinforced the idea that there is no good music being made these days so you might as well not buy any of it.  That's genius level marketing if I ever heard it.  

It's also bullshit.  2008 was a great year for music, just like 2007 before it.  I've already counted down the Best Songs of 2008, so now let's take a look at the albums.

It's not uncommon for me to OD on a record, declare it a year's best, and then need some time away from it.  Sometimes absence makes the heart grow founder and in some instances it's goodbye and good riddance.  Flipping the channels the other night, I saw Counting Crows performing on Soundstage.  Two things jumped out at me:  one, these guys can really play live and two, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings is a fabulous record.

When I was 12 years old, my father gave me a cassette tape: August and Everything After. Even in his early 50s at the time, he enjoyed listening to college radio and picked up on the best of what was to come in the music world. Counting Crows was one of the bands he exposed me to and I absorbed every song as if it was the first time I had heard music.
