Ain’t Nobody hits another high point!
Ok, Ok, it’s not REALLY a Big Deal, but my song Ain’t Nobody is Number 1 at Ourstage.com for I guess the month of January. Its good because it’s a listener’s vote thing there, and I haven’t even been there for months, so it’s not like I went out and politic’ed the votes, the listeners there just liked it all on it’s own, which on the web is the only thing I actually trust.
So it’s not a Big Deal, but it is cool and I’m happy about it!
New song I’m working on
Here’s the original version of a song I’m working on now….”I Never Meant to Make You Cry” by Peter Klimes. This is Peter doing it so well I wonder why I would, but he sings it an octave lower than me so I’ll use that as an excuse……
Peter played the “ghosty” guitars on “Blessed” off of my first CD, and he’ll be playing on this version of his song as well…Thanx Peter!!
New song demo to check out.
Hiyas, I know it probably seems like all I care about is politics, (could be true, but I’m trying to kick it, really I am) I DO still do music, but there’s a lot going on these days for me……anyways….
After much more farking around with equipment the last few, I have a decent demo of a new song to check out…..I know there’s a lot of warts and I’m probably gonna recut the guitars and maybe the bass, but the song is there and I like it quite well….I’m just putting it here as a peek into the gestation period….

To answer some things that will be going through your head as you listen…….drugs, it’s a machine, that IS a french horn, it’s german, and Irene.
And yes I like Pink Floyd….a LOT. And I know what you mean, it’s on purpose.
I have a bunch more in various stages coming up, (I know I always say that, but it’s actually true, hopefully this shows good intent and SOME progress…I know, basically I suck) and this one will mature…….
Thanx for your ears – WB
More music out!
This isn’t one of my things, this is a thing I’m working on that has hit the web.
The Vegan Vixens first song “Envision a World” is now available here and here, have a look and see what you think, and there’s more to come…”Oil Spill” will be up in a few days!
ARTISTS/BANDS CHECK THIS OUT – MySpace can bite MyAss
Ok, I’ve had it with this lame-o MySpace thing. It’s been great for getting together with old friends etc, but aside from that the site is broken half the time, has no really serious tools for artists, and is basically full of bands clamoring for each other’s attention as though that will do any damn good, and a LOT of them just plain SUCK.
There, I’ve said it, we all know it’s true.
I can’t keep waiting for them to get it together, and in the meantime I’ve found a GREAT site that works extremely well for both the artists and the people who like them, called ReverbNation.
This site has REALLY great tools for working on your career instead of your website all the time, (and let’s face it, yeh I can build websites and have even done for money but there’s no way I can compete with a fully funded staff of serious thoughtful pros, and why WOULD I?), respects the listener’s privacy, and makes it really easy to do what I need to do online without spending gobs of time on it….I couldn’t be more pleased with it.
No I don’t work for them, nor do I know them, I just recommend things I think rule, this does.
I hope you’ll go by and check it out, maybe even sign into my part of the site if you like, but in any case, if you’re an artist you MUST have a look and see if it doesn’t make sense to you, I think it will……..
