I will try to FIX Y... C’MAAAN! FIX YOUUUU!!.... FIX YOUU!
It's an interesting time to be a musician, eh? Ross texted me a link last night to this site called Sell-A-Band whilst I stumbled on an article about Jill Sobule (you know, "I Kissed A Girl") financing for her next record with the same basic premise. I won't get into the nitty gritty... you can do some readin' here and here. It's a pretty interesting concept, anyway. I'm enjoying that the music industry is looking more and more like the fucking Outback in Mad Max right now. Sweet, sweet chaos.
What do you guys think of all this crazy investing business? (Disclaimer: This is not me soliciting for investments. However, large donations, CD purchases, thongs, and political favors will be accepted at this time). If you read the last blog (you did read it, right?), Jen may have mentioned we have three new songs up. Well, she was wrong. We now have four songs up. The latest addition: Sometimes I Feel Like A Vampire. If you think it's a long title, you're lucky we didn't call it WHEN THE PAWN hits the conflicts he thinks like a king What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight And he'll win the whole thing before he enters the ring There's no body to batter when your mind is your might So when you go solo, you hold your own hand And remember that depth is the greatest of heights And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you know that you're right like I wanted to (it was taken... go figure). So go listen, dudes. And if you're fretting about the stuff from Leave Your Light On getting taken down, that's how the game is played, kids. Out with the old. Accept change. Extend the extreme. Max the envelope; and so on. The Akron Convention for Rock Bands clearly states that the latest record you made is automatically the best thing you've ever done, unless (Paragraph 4, Clause C) you're Phil Collins— in which case the latest record you made is automatically the worst thing you've ever done. Hmm... that's funny.. Paragraph 48 states that I'm supposed to get a pig every month, as well as "two comely lasses of virtue true". I should really pay attention to these things. Anyhoo... ...is this or is this not the funniest goddamn thing ever? Cheers, Henry Currently listening : Red Tree Music By Stereo Soul Future Release date: 10 January, 2003 BLOG ARCHIVE
