Poughkeepsie News: Update: Cop dies after shoot out with gunman who killed his own wife, 3 dead.

Image
A  Poughkeepsie  cop died after being shot in the head Friday during a gunfight with a man who had fatally shot his own wife in a train station parking lot, police said. The suspect was also killed - but it wasn't clear whether he committed suicide or was taken out by a police bullet. The 44-year-old officer, who wasn't identified last night, died after undergoing surgery at  Vassar  Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie,  Police Chief Ron Knapp  said. "This is a tragic day in the city of Poughkeepsie for our citizens and for our uniformed personnel,"  Poughkeepsie Mayor John Tkazyik  said. The incident unfolded about 1p.m., when police received a report of a shooting at a parking lot near a  Metro-North  railroad station in Poughkeepsie. The first officer who arrived at the scene spotted a man running with a toddler in his arms. He gave chase. After a brief confrontation, the officer snatched the 3-year-old from the suspect's hands, and the man took off. The c

2011 Grammy Award Recap

Image
Well, to preface this...it seems typical of award shows that there are less artist nominated for more awards. Its like 20 artist compete over 50 awards... no one leaves empty handed. somehow rappers are in 10 categories cuz they're all pop acts now, these are all signs of a dark day in music. but nonetheless here is my recap of the show... it kicks off with a tribute to Aretha Franklin, done by Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Martina Mcbride, Florence (without The Machine) and Yolanda Adams others singing some Aretha songs. As the tears pour down Christina's face she belts out for redemption for her super-bowl performance. A Personal favorite though, Jennifer Hudson proves that although she may have shrank, her voice just grows bigger and bigger, she might be able to tour her next album without a microphone. ...Side note: They mention its Mick Jagger's first time on the Grammy stage, I didn't know the grammy's alway had a No british coke head policy, I fig

Music Business Mistakes of 2010 -#5C Industry

Image
#1 – Waiting #2 – Unreasonable Expectations #3 – Poor Planning #4 – Comparing Apples To Oranges #5a – Black and White Thinking (Day Job) #5b – Black and White Thinking (Career Trajectory) #5c – Black and White Thinking (The Industry) Perhaps the most stunning example of black and white thinking for musicians is the way they interact with or react to the industry.  A large percentage of the musicians I encounter either despise the industry for reasons that don’t seem to be well articulated or are enamored with the industry and desperate for the attention, validation and information that these executives may or may not really have. I know I am not stating anything that isn’t obvious but sometimes stating the obvious is helpful.  Simply put- record label executives, music managers, music supervisors, booking agents and music publishers are really just people like any other group of people.  There are those who are brilliant and others who are dim, those who are really good and caring and

Music Business Mistakes of 2010 -#5b Career Trajectory

* #1 – Waiting * #2 – Unreasonable Expectations * #3 – Poor Planning * #4 – Comparing Apples To Oranges *#5a – Black and White Thinking (Day Job) *#5b – Black and White Thinking (Career Trajectory) It’s a very odd thing to talk to your average musician about their career goals.  As I have mentioned before I often hear things like “getting to the next level” or wanting to “make it”.  Part of the problem is that statements like these aren’t specific enough to be of much use to those who utter them.   I’m not here to tell anyone that the music business isn’t difficult or isn’t filled with frustration – it is absolutely frustrating and the pace at which it moves (especially when you are starting out) makes glaciers look like Ferraris.  Many musicians need to get a grip on what the majority of career trajectories look like and stop comparing themselves to so-called overnight successes.  The harsh reality is that yes- some seemingly talentless people get rich and famous doing music and a

Top 5 Music Business Mistakes of 2010 #5 Black and White Thinking * #1 – Waiting * #2 – Unreasonable Expectations * #3 – Poor Planning * #4 – Comparing Apples To Oranges *#5a – Black and White Thinking (Day Job) For me personally, this is the bitch of the bunch. When I hit a speed bump along the road of life like not getting one of my client’s a much needed tour or losing out on a new client to a larger company it is often the case that my thought process and solutions to these problems are far worse than the problems themselves. When I don’t close a new client I really wanted my mind doesn’t automatically jump to “Well, I’d better find some more potential clients to pitch” it jumps to “I’m going to wind up dying homeless on the street in a cardboard box and I won’t even have any pets to love me”. The upside to my having this warped way of thinking is that it is VERY common among musicians and creative folks. Doing what I do it’s important that I relate to this issue and believe yo

Top 5 Music Business Mistakes of 2010 #4 Apples to Oranges #1 – Waiting #2 – Unreasonable Expectations #3 – Poor Planning #4 – Comparing Apples To Oranges On the off chance that the title of this article is a piece of slang that was unique to my parents (I ran the title by someone who was baffled by the fact that a music blog would be discussing fruit) I am speaking about comparing two things that can’t be accurately compared.  I have found that is very common for artists to have the belief that exposure = sales and that all songs and all artists if given the same exposure would get the same response from the public.  This issue gets especially cloudy when an artist is comparing his or her own career to the career of someone in the public eye. The most hate mail I ever got was from an article I wrote that contained the words “Great bands make great managers”.  Musicians and managers alike hated this statement but it is one that I still stand by.  What did I mean when I said it?  We

Top 5 Music Business Mistakes of 2010 (#3) – Poor Planning #1 –  Waiting #2 –  Unreasonable Expectations #3 –  Poor Planning Once again, I don’t mean to appear unsympathetic.  I know first hand how difficult it is to remain objective once you have put your heart and soul into a project but I have to point out that I have seen far too many careers that have suffered greatly due to poor planning or even worse – no planning. It sounds ridiculous but something as simple as writing out a list of goals for your business can force you to clarify that vague plan you have in your head – I highly recommend it as I have made the mistake of winging it one too many times when an organized written document would have saved me time, effort and expense.  When I am at my best I find that I am often re-visiting revising such documents for my business because I am continually moving closer to my goals.  When I am at my worst I am unable to carve out the time to extract myself from daily distractions to r

Top 5 Music Business Mistakes of 2010 – #2

Top 5 Music Business Mistakes of 2010 (#2) #1 –  Waiting #2 – Unreasonable Expectations Before I start on another rant about the top mistakes let me point out that I find these mistakes frustrating because I am often guilty of them myself from time to time.  I am especially guilty of #2 – unreasonable expectations. Roughly twice per day I get an email from a musician who tells me that he or she “just wants to get to the next level.” In my head my first response is usually “Oh that’s easy just press Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right A B Select Start.”  (This got you many extra lives on the game Contra for Nintendo)  For better or for worse – there is no special code for the elusive “next level” in the music business. This kind of message is always a bit disheartening as I am pretty sure that when I ask people who send me these messages to clarify their needs they either will not have defined it for themselves or they have just started out promoting their businesses in the last 2-3 m
