Week 1: Music Success in Nine Weeks
Mama says it's definitely time to move a few steps forward. So, she's taking us on a journey by having us participate in a blogging contest held by Ariel Publicity Cyber PR. It's kind of a getting-your-shit-together boot camp (but fun). We're following the steps outlined in Arial Hyatt's book Music Success In Nine Weeks and blogging about our progress.
Ok, here we go...
The first chapter is all about goal setting: Getting Mentally Prepared. Most successful folks will tell you that they've written out their goals and MSi9W explains that you're 10 time more likely to achieve your goals if written down in some form. Changing your mindset is the task here. As artists, so many of us are so flightly and unfocased, it's no wonder that we get any shit done.
Our task is to write 1) 5 successes each day, at least two being music-related; 2) goals - music, life, etc. Here are this year's goals, Mama!
1) Able to pack Southpaw by September 2010 (Rock club in Brooklyn, 350-500 capacity).
2) Positive reviews of "In Your Mouth" by prominent music Bloggers - March 2010.
3) 100 paid downloads per week - Sept. 2010.
4) Create and sell more merch.
5) Release new material once a month.
6) Find the right bass player (a recent development... :/)

A Dirty Li'l Recap of The Trash Bar
Our Sexy People!
"Where were you Tuesday night?""'In Your Mouth!'"
A Dirty Li'l Recap of The Trash Bar
Michael showed off his manliness up front; Kitana sang on "Hell-To-The-No;" Late Nite schooled us on maximizing your number of drinks during an open bar; Jav, sexily, displaying his MDLS T-shirt on stage, Ol' Girl always down for a ménage a foursome; Smokin' in the boys room...
We shared the stage with 2 other bands that we met and vibed with:
SHOT - I'll have the hard rock in a 5-piece, please... (Billy, thanks for the shot of Jameson!)
THIS TEMPER - a bad-ass, punk, brother duo (drums/singer; guitar) from Philly.

CASH ONLY (or Fuck the Credit Card Companies)
I'm not one to usually generalize a particular group of people because every group has it's small percentage of fuckheads. And they don't represent the majority of said group. HOWEVER... I believe it's safe to say that the majority of the heads of credit card institutions are nothing more than legal criminals.
I'm sure you've heard numerous stories of how some regular folk, even with "great credit," got fucked over by their credit card company.
Add me to that sad list.
This one little score pretty much determines whether you get approved for major purchases - cars, homes, "The Deacon black tip"-model custom Gibson SG in "dirty white." But then, all of a sudden, the credit you've spent 15 years building to "great" status, doesn't mean shit...
Ok, wait. I was about to get into the irrationality of it all, but I have to keep in mind that their goal is not reason or logic, it's to make a profit. And if I agreed with their philosophy, I'd been giving out big-ass bonuses also because they are doing a fantastic fucking job.
But, since I don't agree with their philosophy, I'm planting my seeds of music now for them to grow into my own forest of CASH ONLY.
