Sweet! That is cool about the rosemary cutting. Here is a cool fact: Did you know that you can use willow stems as a natural rooting compound? Willow contains indole-3-butyric acid and salicylic acid, which help rooting. You essentially brew several 2-3 inch pieces of willow stems into a strong tea (simmered for an hour) and let cool. Then you take the plant cutting and let it sit in this willow brew for about 24 hours before planting it.

Awesome. :D Glad to be able to send along some inspiration!

How is it coming along?

Wonderful suggestions! More and more people are becoming interested in alternatives, so it is cool to see your post. I am a musician who has gone through a similar process myself. Here are some things that did:

1. I found an RSS feed reader and plugged in band pages, online music publications centered around indie / underground artists, etc.

2. I tracked down many artists on Bandcamp and signed up for mailing lists through there. I found artist updates through label or band websites, as well…most have mailing lists.

• I myself have uploaded music onto Soundcloud, Mixcloud, Funk Whale, and a host of others, but keep circling back to my tried and true. A new website for artist’s to share music is starting up soon, Subvert. We’ll see how it goes.
  - I’ve especially found Bandcamp to be an awesome resource, for artists and fans alike. CD’s, vinyl, cassette tapes, mp3’s are all formats I use to share my own music. I don’t think any of these are going away anytime soon…

• It’s been really cool to see the revival of vinyl & cassette tape culture…Not surprised to see a resurgence of interest in peer to peer file sharing as a result of people wanting to avoid Spotify, etc…
