I've been keen to hear how this shapes up for some time.
Right so where were we?
Ah yes.
Welcome to the magic of getting the band ready to tour overseas.
Spreadsheets.
Also, we're recording this week.
Yeah back at it.
Coordinating things can take some luck.
Ah yeah. A fundraiser for tour 5.
Yeah.
About that.
Ahem.
Stormcellar Digital Offerings:
As none of us know how Music will work or be funded in the 21st century, it's time for us to do some trial and error.
We want to do stuff.
If you're here, reading this, it may suit you for us to keep doing stuff.
We're working on 2 projects for the year and as per usual, we'll be posting video and the making of.
That's the sort of stuff bands are now putting behind paywalls.
I dunno.
Anyway.
We 're already on itunes/amazon/you name it.
But that's not quite the answer.
So we're gonna try some different things.
Most, will probably, not work.
Whatever does, is the new thing.
So. First new attempt.
ATTEMPT #1 - Direct appeal, Paypal - GIVE US MONEY!
No t-shirt, no tiers, no special subscriber offers.
No middle men and no additional fees.
You give us money, we'll do stuff.
Yep.
No strings, no muss, no fuss, just give us cash.
We take all kinds.
Expect an ongoing series of random offers on the site as we look for the New Digital Way of Stuff!
Meanwhile, I gotta go chase musicians.
MUSH!
Got a copy of protools first with this little device we picked up for guide tracking.
Wont let you save local.
Overwrote my files in the cloud, apparently it's a bug.
Software as a permanent subscription doesn't thrill me.
Respect they gotta make a living.
But they ate my files and asked me for $10.
I don't like that business model.
Good show today.
Cold.
And that hot chocolate from the Spanish place was insane.
Good times my people. Good times.
I know things seem grim, and there's some crappy stuff I read in the wires.
Can't fix it all.
Can help you catch your breath.
Also Pro Tools? I'm still pissed at ya.
Yar blockos to you matey.
So much happening in the background.
More soon.
That's where we'll be :-)
Yeah it's bonkers out there.
You know we're making an effort to give you something else, an alternative to all the drama.
We have some pretty strong opinions on what's going on right now, yelling about it won't help. There's enough fury.
Defiance.
We felt it when we were in the US last.
But something else is coming, something better.
The reckoning we've had to have for a while, with our own natures.
The most useful thing I can think to say is to remind you that you are still personally powerful, still an agent for change in your own life and the lives of others.
The best we can hope to offer you is comfort, support and a place to regather your strength for the struggles that must surely come, to regain our group equilibrium, to become influenced once more by the better angels of our natures.
The mills of justice grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.
Stay with it, hold on, to whatever source of renewal and comfort you can find, until once again we regain our goddamn collective sanity.
Until then, when you need it, take shelter in the things that restore your soul.
It's a good time for the 5D project.
