Why you should check him out:
You may not know it but you’ve probably already heard Mocean Worker’s jazz and electronica infused mash-ups. Contributing to such movies as The Bourne Supremacy and shows like The O.C. and the “All Things Considered” segments of NPR, Mowo (his own abbreviation) is the guy that everyone subconsciously loves, we just don’t know it yet.
Background Check:
Producer/Muscian Adam Dorn know’s what he’s talking about. The son of producer Joel Dorn, famous for working with the likes of John Coltrane and Charles Mingus, Adam grew up haning around with Miles Davis and and learning the trade alongside his prominent father. Now, under the moniker Mocean Worker, (and yes that’s pronounced motion, incase you were wondering) Adam Dorn has secured his own place in jazz and electronic circles with several well received albums and a ton of collaborations.
His career began in the late 90′s after several semi-serious recordings became became the debut LP Home Movies from the Brain Forest. Mocean Worker became a sought after name in the underground Drum and Bass circles. Soon after Dorn, a bassist at heart, found a dark jazz edge that only increased with time. Now Mocean Worker is making music his grandfather potentially listened to. Heavily influenced by big band and swing music, Mocean Workers latest album, Cinco de Mowo, sounds like jazz of the 30′s merged with varying degrees of Latin and funk melodies.
Ever moving away from the mainstream electronic music he began with, Mocean Worker still surprises, as with his recent single, “That One”, a send up of the 2008 presidential election focusing on Obama and McCain’s often ridiculous debate diatribes. Unlike his recent jazz subtelties, “That One”, proves that Mocean Worker is still about experimentation and whimsical ambitions.

One thing that I don’t see here are those little in-line links that are so popular these days. It’s just a simple plugin that is easily installed and it automatically creates affiliate links in the text on a blog and also links different pages together for SEO purposes. Actually, it lets you do a whole lot more than that but some of the highlights include the simple ability to just write your blog like you normally do and then have links automatically inserted. So if you are trying to make money from an affiliate program with a financial theme, you could set it up so that your keywords in your blog automatically link to your affiliate URL and the link would be cloaked so that it just looks like the user would be going to a different page on your blog. Search engines will gobble up more pages and posts on your blog because of the automatic interlinking that is going on. Even though there are a lot of options with this tool, it is extremely easy to use. Professional bloggers use this tool quite a bit but even the casual blogger will find it very useful.
