Let’s All Try to D!e a Rockstar

by Doug MacRostie

There is a lot that sucks on a grand scale in the world right now; down economy, hunger, foreclosure, just to name a few. Not to mention the millions of unemployed Americans – I know from my own experience that a certain feeling of hopelessness consumes you and pulls you down from every direction… all before prospective employers don’t bother to call you back. Makes you want to listen to some aggressive tunes.

And music has long been an outlet for such mass emotional strife. And Vision the Kid’s got it by the balls.

I’ve Got the Rhythm in My Soul

by Doug MacRostie

Escher's first post-utero music festival, 6 months old

Music is my first language – as long as I can remember it’s always spoken directly to my soul in a very emotional way. As you can see in this picture, that passionate appreciation is shared by my family. I am pleased to say we’ve decided to put the time in to keep sharing the cream of the crop :)

I say ‘we’ because this actually was a family conversation. These days it seems like we’re working all the time with occasional glances of family-life.
