Seems like everybody is putting together some sort of distribution platform, including SoundCloud. I use CDBaby. Distrokid is popular but I hear too many horror stories about them to consider them trustworthy. They all charge a fee, but that usually means they also handle your copyright and other legal registrations.

I took a few close listens to your track, and I’ll listen again when I get home and can hear it in my studio. But your lyrical style and delivery is incredible! And I appreciate your comments…the Cage the Elephant comparison is really flattering because that’s just the kind of vibe I like to project.

Stay in touch dude!

2029

Sure there is! It exists in my imagination and is cast exclusively with Thunderbirds-style puppets!

I could improve on the film adaptation of Eragon by replacing the entire cast with Thunderbirds-style puppets.

Think of a good book or a good show as a really great meal. You’ll want time to digest all the content. You’re full, intellectually speaking.

So don’t feel bad about giving yourself time to let that happen. You’ll know when you’re ready for your next great meal.

Just bear in mind that I don’t have all the vocal levels smoothed out yet so be forgiving. Other than that thanks for the listen.

Nice to meet a fellow writer. Drop some tracks.

I finished recording, mixing, and mastering a song I wrote.

It’s a big deal to me because my job takes most of my energy, so when I get home all I want to do is sit and decompress. Also I’ve been struggling with getting a good vocal chain and drum sound, and every time I sat down and didn’t get anywhere, I’d get discouraged and not touch it for weeks at a time.

At this stage I just have some minor mixing edits to make and I intend to release it. I’m hoping this gives me the motivation to record the dozens of other songs I have sitting inert in my head.

I think I stuck it out with Reddit for a lot longer than most. But I couldn’t ignore the shift in culture once it went public…

• Content that I had been posting for years was suddenly getting taken down by mods for no actual, valid, rule-associated reason. My attempts to politely challenge this was met with arrogance and further bans, so I eventually gave up and just unleashed a barrage of verbal abuse on the mods and took my permabans as little notches on my bedpost.

• Bots. Fucking bots everywhere. Like a flea infestation that everyone said they hated but never actually did anything about. It’s Facebook-levels of dead internet in a lot of the big subs, and the smaller esoteric ones were starting to lose the battle.

• Reddit culture became a caricature of itself. I’m thinking of your typical redditisms you’d see in comments. And I think the final death rattle was seeing those same phrases pop up in the ads that filthed up my feed. The corporatization of Reddit was complete at that point.

So I left, did a little asking, and ended up here. Hi.

I usually overcome this by reading something new. I’ve often found that hearing a new idea will dislodge ideas of my own.

I’ve often told students: Don’t try to be creative in a vacuum.

Oh I do way more than that.

I say yes, but this is an Internet forum and you likely just started an international incident.

This isn’t really about your sandwich, is it?
