I have a friend named Steve Vaclavik, who happens to be putting out a new CD the same time I am. Here's a cool way to double your marketing efforts. We are appearing on a local TV morning show together, we are appearing on a local radio show together, and we are performing together at a dual CD Release party. Pretty cool. No way I could have done it on my own. Steve likes my music, and I like Steve's music. Pretty cool.
Additionally, I'm uploading my new CD to bandcamp, so that fans can stream my music online to check it out. If they want to download it, they can name their own price. KEWL.
Within two weeks my CD's will be available at CDBaby. Sometime before the economy recovers, it'll be available on iTunes. It takes a reeeeeeeally long time to get your music onto the world's largest online music store, but it's important that I do.
Moral of the post - If you suck at marketing, like I do, partner up with someone who does not suck at marketing.
Hmm. I'm blogging from the bar in the lobby at our hotel. I don't know the name of this place. Loews something or other. At Universal in Orlando. I'd tell you what I'm drinking but oh dear, I work in education, and we are not allowed to be human, so let's say I'm drinking water with a kick. Just made the mistake of looking over a few couches and a couple is making out. Dude behind me needs to stop drinking water. It's kinda cool down here, though. I think I'll end on that note.
