so, lately in my "spare" time (i.e. the wee hours of the morning), i've been helping my brother, chad, launch a little website he calls <ahref="http://www.sudden-thoughts.com/">sudden thoughts</a>.
for those of you who don't know, chad is a brilliant writer and a total music nerd. sudden thoughts is a showcase of both of these attributes. the site currently features cd reviews (focus on lesser-known jazz & hip-hop), in depth coverage of up and coming labels and a neat feature in which artists are contributing their own 'view from the trenches' - the first of which was contributed by <ahref="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=UIDCASS70312021700042613&sql=B7267gjirj6ix">steve coleman</a>.
