introductory "migrating to blog spot" post

this is the new music journal, and we'll be starting from here forwards - this page will not repeat the past. old journal posts will be available on the aleph discs as they come up, and in the alter-reality, albeit very slowly. for the short run, i'll be posting all other rants here, too, but i'm sure i'll find another space for things in time. i just don't want to set up a space for rants right now because i don't really want to be ranting.

this page has an rss feed. i don't know what kind of feed aggregators exist at this point in time, but i think that this has to be the future of notification software. i know that i'm going to be hurting myself by getting off of social media, but i think you should look at me as leading the way, here. i just can't deal with facebook anymore; it's a horrific platform. as users, we should be looking to diversify the platforms we use, and we should be looking for tools that make it easier to diversify the platforms.

that said, let us begin this journal with a listing of ways that you can continue to follow me through different platforms.

1) the alter-reality.

over the next few months, i will be beginning to post heavily to the alter-reality. it is twenty years ago, today, in the alter-reality. this means i am twenty years younger than i am today. the idea is that i'll be blogging my life, as i remember it, from the perspective of twenty years previous. right now, that makes me 15 years old in the alter-reality. the reason i'm doing this is that i have a lot of music to re-release, and there's a certain logic in watching it unfold in real time. so, the first demos from the alter-reality will begin to be published in september, 1996.

the alter-reality will be narrated primarily through it's own blog:
http://therealinri.blogspot.ca/

these demos will be hosted on their own bandcamp sites, which will shift along with my pseudonyms. the first pseudonym will be 'inri', and the first bandcamp archive will be here:
https://jnrj.bandcamp.com/

the alter-reality will also have a youtube site & associated google+ page for comments:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXlH5Ds5mqClkdAUFJwQCNQ

remember: it's always twenty years previous to today in the alter-reality. so, all youtube comments will reflect this.

i will also need a facebook page, whether i like it or not:
https://www.facebook.com/inri-1719120681676528/

all remaining facebook communication will be sporadic, and i hope to be able to phase it out altogether in time.

2) current reality

my main focus right now remains on finishing my discography, and i will be getting back to an active phase of this almost immediately.

my main bandcamp archive remains in the same place it's always been, which is here:
https://jasonparent.bandcamp.com/

the page is currently stripped down, but will be rebuilt and republished over the next few weeks.

this journal is replacing my facebook music page because it just became impossible to use. however, i will continue to use that page as a timeline and post completed works to it. you could consider it an announce list.

my personal facebook page is being used as a sort of a social cv.
i do not accept friend requests, but you can follow me.

soundcloud has a very limited use to me because it is a paid site. you're supposed to pay me, guys. they've got this all backwards. but, i do use it to hold rough demos.

my vlogging will continue here, including vlogs about music production:

you could also follow me on google+ for posts about the vlogs, mostly:

3)  review sites

this is my main site, but it is currently in very bad shape and will no doubt remain that way until i get done the discography:

i will eventually shift into music reviews, and i have a profile set up for that eventuality:

4) dead sites

don't tell the koala central command where to find me!

this is the only twitter site i've ever created, and i've never made any use of it.
all other twitter sites are run by imposters - they are not me.
and, frankly, that shouldn't be hard to guess, either.
