Scroll down to experience music through the decades. From Elvis to Beyonce, music has seen many changes over time. Here is a neat post to visualize just a few of them.

Dear friends, family, and anyone else who has ever expressed even a passing interest the music Jesse Rifkin has made.

Jesse has spent the past year and a half working on “With Our Thoughts We Make The World,” the debut album by his new band, he and Jane Eyre are very eager to share it with all of you. They’ll be self-releasing the album this coming June, and they have just now initiated a drive on Kickstarter to raise money for a vinyl release! Behold: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/469304782/jane-eyres-debut-lp-on-glorious-vinyl

While the album will be made available via the standard digital channels (Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify), the record was conceived and produced from day one with vinyl in mind. I won’t go on too much about it here (there’s a lot more information on the Kickstarter page), but suffice to say they intend this to be a sonically and aesthetically exceptional product.

Their goal for the pressing and packaging of the LP is $2,000. Just meeting that goal is a thrilling and humbling prospect, but should they exceed it, anything extra will go toward PR and touring expenses. And of course, beyond the vinyl, there are some pretty delightful goodies available to further entice you - More music! Artwork! Food! Jesse will even record a cover of James Ingram and Michael McDonald’s “Yah Mo B There” just for you, if that’s what you really want (please somebody want that).

Your friendship, love and support have meant so much to Jesse over the years. He is truly honored and grateful and thanks you all so much!
