Commented on Artists buying cheap houses in Detroit
All of this sounds romantic and all, but I live in the Detroit area. I spend time in Detroit proper regularly. Most of these houses are massive shit holes. I mean, any sane person should be afraid to even enter...
Commented on When Do We Start Calling Years 'Twenty-Somethings'?
Bah. I like Two thousand Ten better than Twenty-ten. Move forward, not backwards. There is no need to revisit the way we used to say it. What kind of sentimental BS is this?...
Commented on Bird dances to music
Oh, and also, all this "training talk", I don't train my birds to "dance". They definitely respond to music, no question about it. It seems this "dancing" is something they just do when they are excited. They don't have good...
Commented on Bird dances to music
I have two African Grey Parrots sitting behind me as I watched this, one of them started bopping along with it. It seems a lot of parrots do this. My birds get particularly excited about really heavy music. They seem...
Commented on Music from the Hearts of 'Space
"Back in the day"... I used to be active on MP3.com, and used to find scores of unsigned bands that were really good. I had somehow developed a good system for discovering said bands. With Myspace, I dig and dig...

Commented on Challenge: figure out Amazon's crazy-ass "proprietary" MP3 tagging system -- UPDATED
Anyone try Tag&Rename or some similar program? http://www.softpointer.com/tr.htm If it works, I don't see what the problem is. Just retag your downloads as they recommend. If it is DRM-free, I don't see what the fuss is about....

"I think this is great. Good for them for trying to do something creative. It's always nice to see these pockets of positivity popping up around Detroit...but realistically the city ain't ever coming back. I say this as an urban planner who would love, love, love, love to see the people 60 miles down the road in Detroit doing well." Patrick what type of "urban planning" do you do? 60 miles down the road? Seriously! I bet you work on nice little streetscapes for tourist towns and local farming communities. Detroit needs real artist and it seems that they are...

I'm not an artist but would love to purchase a cheap home in Detroit for the shear pleasure of having NO HOUSE PAYMENT. Yeah, yeah, I know there's still the taxes but I can live with those. Back to my oringinal comment; I make a pretty decent profit on ebay when I dedicate myself to it. Owning a home in Detroit would allow me to pursue the avenue of traveling the country (and elsewhere) in search of treasures to resell. Heck, there's probably plenty of stuff to be found right there in the city. I've mentioned this to family and...

I currently live in Indianapolis but would love a place in Michigan to rehab for my son who lives with me...we both love the arts and if someone could give me the actual locations of streets/areas that are going thru renewal so i can google them, i would be most appreciative...

The people buying these houses for cheap prices are well educated white people, they might me artists they might not. And yes they are the same types of people that live in Williamsburg Brooklyn, who else would try to revitalize run down neighborhoods in Detroit. Yes they will create neighborhoods that they might one day get run out of but that probably won't happen. These people could also live in NYC, they have the money they just want the experience of creating a new neighborhood. Don't let them tell you they got pushed out of NYC, they can afford to...
