		<description><![CDATA[ Sad news for industry professionals came today when it was announced that the legendary Walter Sear passed away. I had the pleasure of meeting him briefly at AES in New York a few years ago but unfortunately I never had the chance to work at his beautiful facility.

		<description><![CDATA[Just got back to the beautiful skyline of NYC after an amazing trip that took me to three countries and seven cities in a little over 10 days. I did so much in 10 days that I feel like I need a vacation to recover from this vacation ;-) The best of all is that <a href='http://www.marcurselli.com/2010/01/03/back-in-nyc-happy-2010-to-all/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In many European countries royalties are paid to the songwriters (authors) AND the artists (performers) but the United States&#8217; adaptation to this practice has been anywhere between slow and un-existing (probably a result of the fact that terrestrial broadcasters are largely owned by the same greedy corporation). Interestingly in the U.S. digital broadcasters such as <a href='http://www.marcurselli.com/2009/11/18/musicfirst-fights-for-broadcast-performance-royalties/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve spoken at several conferences but never at SXSW.
This year I am up for speaking at two separate panels. There is a voting process so that festival goers can have a say in what next year&#8217;s panels will be.
I would appreciate if you voted for my two panels at SXSW by clicking on the image/buttons <a href='http://www.marcurselli.com/2009/08/30/thumbs-up-for-speaking-at-sxsw-2010/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
