an article on session musicians, including Carol Kaye, who appears to be a totally kickass bass player (better even than kim gordon).

also, this slightly evil article about content/hardware handshaking. although i applaud the ipod (someone should send me one, i'll promise it a good review) i'm starting to wonder if maybe its success is prompting a lot more consolidation in the hardware industry's control of intellectual property, and if that's really in all of our best interests.
