Thank you Seb. You have put an afternoon grin on my face. Bandcamp is a cool site. I like how nobody can toss their meager or not opinion in, it just exists. I like too how you can keep adding to existing albums. For years I thought of how to tackle the mountain of remixes, remasters, etc... now I can do a little at a time. Hell, 'the Little Bugs Glow' is already up to 38 tracks from it's 1996 13 or 14! If I would have had to sit back and make a plan, this never would have happened.
Also, 'Climb Down From The Hills', which totally got shafted hardcore by the label, I finally feel like it's getting it's day, 4 years later.
Sound Cloud is next, then I might tackle the old I-tunes. It's interesting for a guy like myself who has never had the heart or guts to brag, boast, and generally promote the crap out of finished works to the world--I'm sure partially my downfall, but bandcamp.com is aligned with my brainwaves and at least it exists now. I mean, patting myself on the back aside, and I'm sure there are a few hundred others like myself, I would spend years on these records, on tones, on snares, on synths, but then that would be the end and I'd be kinda satisfied yet wondering why the world wasn't discovering it. Then I learned it's (in a way)not the content, just he lawyers and bs involved, back in the Eminem/KidRock days this lesson became quite evident.
I feel hope at least. I appreciate the vote of confidence, and though I'd love to believe this is the beginning of some amazing slow wildfire spread across the globe, I've been around the block.
It's always odd to me that more of 'us' don't organize. But I understand it totally. Even within a genre like 'space-rock', there is love and hate and selfishness--or my way is the way and your way sucks. hee hee. Seriously, I know some amazing bands from Detroit like Perplexa, David Straughter, etc... they are great, but I generally just don't listen to them. I'm being honest here, I'm trying to describe some phenomenom that happens within the more esoteric rock forms. I love all who trample that path, I just have kids and a studio to run, and I don't have time to dedicate to obsessing over every cool band that comes along, of which there are so many.
Rock strange!!!!
