What leads a colony of ants to land in a clump on the surface of a swimming pool? How did they get there? Does this happen all the time? Do most of them feel like this is just business as usual? Do a few of them know that something has gone horribly wrong? It all seems very metaphorical to me, of course, partly because I'm not an ant. A small city or a suburb. Planet Earth. I showed the strange little island of ants to my friend Craig, who said, "We've chased something we wanted so far that we can't get back."
The blog is the heart of the Dan Wilson website. In fact, most of the items on the site are blog posts. Blog posts come in several flavors: "The JOURNAL" are DW's writings and comments; "The REEL" are video clips; "The MIXING DESK" are mp3's and sound streams, including recent releases, demos and unreleased songs; "The GALLERY" are photos of Dan and artwork by him; "The WILDCARDS" are special posts that Dan wants to highlight. See them all in the Blog.
