Be your own manager

I’m in the process of getting a few songs on Spotify right now. Doing all the “promotional” type stuff required to be a manager and marketer are exhausting to me. There’s a block in my brain to “play” the algorithm game, to make an EPK, to be inside a “genre”. I don’t know how other acts do this.

Am I just experiencing “resistance”. A wall that my mind puts up to prevent me from having success? I’m not sure. I’m just a little anxious. I’ve never attempted to take things serious before.

I’m going to just leave everything ready to be submitted for now, take a break, wait for my lady to come home and eat some dinner. We can take a good “cover photo” tonight. Slow and steady wins the race.

I Wanna Soak Up the sun

I took a walk around the lake today. I sat by a small stream and wrote a poem. Got some ideas for a novel that I swear I’m going to start writing soon.

I’ve come to realize that a simple walk and some sunlight can spark pure creativity better than any drug can. It might move slower, and require more work, but you won’t get fat and you won’t forget you’re ideas.

Getting Started

Well, I finally bit the bullet and created a full on website, domain name and everything. I will do my best to make a blog post daily.

The picture above is from a bathroom at a bar in Brooklyn. I had just gotten out of the psych ward the day before and instantly jumped in a car for two shows in Brooklyn. I stayed sober for the entire weekend. Some Brooklyn band thought I was a great vocalist. I played tambourine in Walking Distance. Josh Mackie of Gunk got us kicked out of the bar. I stayed at some house in Jersey that had over 200 copies of Jerry Maguire on VHS where I ate homemade sushi.
