And that was as ghetto as I can get.

And now, a small something for you fans on my birthday. Don’t get too used to this, I expect presents back next year please!

Well, it’s been a hectic month for me, launching my album, and trying to get some press, but I’ve been getting a lot of positive feedback in person and on-line, and I’ve been really grateful for that! Thanks, again, to everybody who’s purchased my album or sent me a message of encouragement.

If you’re just joining us, and wondering, how the heck do I hear what this sounds like? You’ve come to the right place. I’m going to put together a music page with a player very soon.. but for now there are a few ways to listen…

I’m on Last.FM Listen Here

I’m on Itunes, Napster, and Amazon.

You can also check out a few tunes by looking through my blog posts (in fact, you’ll find songs that are otherwise unpublished!), I’ve got some on my facebook… and finally.. I’ve got some right here for you:

Good Bye

Enjoy!

Actually it’s not just itunes. I just wanted to update the world. I’m available on napster & itunes, but should be available on rhapsody soon too. This is quite exciting.

Spread the word.

While the physical disc creation is taking a bit longer than I’d like.. in the mean time..

Here’s my digital album on the first store. Rhapsody, amazon, itunes will be soon. But here’s CD BABY!

BUY MY ALBUM!!!

Update, folks. I am currently in waiting with a distributor who will be distributing my physical CDs as well as digitally on Itunes, Rhapsody and so on.. The CDs themselves will probably not be ready till late January.. but the digital distribution will probably be ready this week. Maybe in time for christmas! What a lovely gift you could give to both me and your friends- a digital copy of my work. It’s a double sided gift that keeps on giving!

In other news, I’ve updated my BIO (on the About page), and I’ve put together a facebook page. If you’ve got facebook, click the facebook tab here and become a fan so that way I can see the big number every day and remind myself that I’m good enough, smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.

Also, in case you haven’t yet, please spread the word to your friends. If you buy a copy of my album, I give you permission to share. If your friends like it, I encourage them to buy the album. But most importantly, the music must be heard!

At this time I’d like to thank those who really helped with this accomplishment, which technically took about 9 months, but realistically took my entire life- My parents who had me (Without them, I just wouldn’t be here I think), My sisters Amanda and Karie who bothered to listen to a few good tracks and a lot of bad ones, My broseph Sambo who killed on the square for Waste My Money, My brother-in-law Ian, who still thinks I use too much reverb, My girlfriend Heidi who hasn’t gotten sick of my album yet, despite the thousand times I reviewed it before submitting, Jeff Fierro, who has given me encouragement, a fresh perspective, and a nice bio, and of course, you- my fans, because without you I’d still be here just talking to myself. And that would make me crazy. And I’m not crazy.

[Edit 12/23/09] I almost forgot- Thank you to Mike and Mike(y) for the encouragement over the past few months!

Please stay in touch during the next few weeks, I will announce the purchase link as soon as it’s available. Oh and also- did I mention? Tell your friends.

I feel like I’ve been waiting forever!

I just submitted to a few indie labels. Please cross your fingers, I would prefer to be published!

Show your love- leave me encouragement..

Just a small treat for the ears,

Weightless

I haven’t had enough drums in my diet lately. Enjorno.

Also, The fivenines store is now open. Take a look.

Many tracks will make it to the final release. Is everybody excited? I expect cheering in the streets. Here’s your love for today.

Been busy over here. Starting a business, getting a new car, having thanksgiving, and battling a weird sore throat, just a few of my favorite things.

So status update. Things have been a little quiet around these parts, and I apologize for the silence. The good news is that it’s because I’ve also been busy hacking away at my album. I’ve got quite a few new songs that I think are pretty good. I’ll be compiling all the songs in the next few weeks and I’m going to be trying for a contract. I am not releasing all the songs on here, and I’m sure the three of you are very sad about that. Speaking of which, i don’t have fans (LOL)!, so here’s what I need you all to do:

1. Subscribe to my RSS feed, so you can see updates when they happen. That can be done here. Use a feed reader like Opera, Feedreader, or heck, internet explorer’s got one now..

2. Tell your friends to like me. I would like some more fans, so your job is to get people here. Have them leave some commentation love so I feel really good about myself. I constantly need overwhelming positive feedback or I get sad.

3. Buy my album when it’s finished. I would like to have it done before xmas, so it would make a great gift

4. Obey my dog.

Any questions?
