uploading evil is a human construction to youtube

i was spending a lot of time stumbling through ottawa bars at the time, imagining guitar solos over unimaginative house beats....

uploading strung out to youtube

pun intended.

uploading like divine amoebas to youtube

a commentary on the invasion and occupation of afghanistan.

so, i pulled some of the releases out and put them up for sale as lightscribe cd-rs in jewel cases with whatever cover art comes to mind. the discs will be standardized, but the package they come in could be all over the place.

it's not the point. the point is the number on the disc, for collectors, if any happen to take an interest in what i'm doing.

we should really rename "midlife crisis" to that period that exists between pretending you've outgrown yourself to realizing you haven't, because outgrowing one's self is an incoherent idea.

ok, maybe people are right. maybe if i'm going to post so much criticism i should post some stuff i like.

first, here's my cd list:

second, it's over here in timeline form:

third, here's a playlist with highlights that will grow as i work through the reviews:

i'm further going to mark my favourite discs as i go forward.

.....'cause it's good marketing. i'm not pretending otherwise. i enjoy the conversations i have, but the point is that people are supposed to click on the link and check out my music. maybe i should just shut up. but youtube's advertising model really doesn't make any sense, given that people  can post whatever they want right on the page (and that most people with a measurable quantity of brain cells use adblock).

about the best advertising i could pay for would be to interact with fans of records that have influenced me. that's actually not possible to buy, but it's certainly more meaningful than an annoying decal on the side that most people are going to literally or mentally block out.

then again, i'm certainly not the next katy perry. there's not really a way to mass market this stuff. it just has to somehow find the right audience.
