So... It's been a while hey?
I would love to say i've been too busy to blog, too productive to post, to uproariously uplifted to upload... but it would be a lie. There is absolutely NO good reason why i haven't been writing here more regularly, and why i haven't been putting up a tune a week really. I haven't been working on new material -nearly- as much as i should, but i have quite a few tracks sitting about waiting to be heard. So what do i have coming up to talk about, such as to motivate me to actually follow through on sharing it?
-Some piano-mangled brass bustin' funkesque goodness for starters.
-Last week i put together a track inspired by just how much of a curve ball roller coaster this spring has been.
-Also, i finally mixed up the first couple of tracks on an EP of 4 or 5 songs i've been working on all with song titles inspired by a friends bathroom renovations. So i can start posting them soon as well!
-Lastly, I've been playing a set of 3-5 finger strummed tunes on the acoustic for months that sound similar to each other in style that i should really get around to recording them.
Ok then. Projects are on the go, and older material does exist for me to upload...
So.
Less excuses.
More music.
/peace.

-sigh- I don't even blog on my own music sites, why would i use this?
-sigh-
I have come to realize that i am not much of a blogger, and not much of a forum user, and not much of a self-promoter at all... on or off the internet.
I've never bothered to use any of the blogging capabilities of any of the sites i have ever used, joined, or frequented. I haven't even taken advantage of them on sites dedicated to distributing and promoting my music! I probably should have been posting regularly for a long time on my SoundClick pages , or on my last.fm artist page or my iLike page, but no... not me. Instead, once every few months when i remember to update something i make a brief and largely uninteresting post that no one reads. Kinda like this one.
Similarly, given that my best exposure musically has come from my contributions to Pure Pwnage (check out the Season One Soundtrack for instance), i have tried in the past to maintain some presence in the forums there to try and stay somewhat connected with some people who actually really liked my work. I should have used that great community to help some other people out, and to help me out as well... Unfortunately, i haven't done a very good job there either.
So why am i here?
Well, i'm really not sure. To be quite honest (something of a fault of mine), i will be pretty damn surprised if i end up using this at all. On the other hand, i know quite a few folks out there in the ether who thought precisely the same thing.
meh.
I suck at self-promotion.
