I love it when someone contacts me saying about them covering something from Silber in their blog & how it’s going to probably create a big sales spike & then I check their web rankings & they’re a few million …

Patricia Russo, Demo, Rivulets, Dream
So long time fans of QRD may remember that it used to somewhat regularly contain short stories that were generally one or two pages & one of the primary contributors was Patricia Russo. Well, she just got a collection of …

did patricia write the story about the aliens yanking dudes nuts off as a party prank?

I think it was his dick instead of his nuts; but yeah, that’s her! You going to make a movie about that? I’m sure she’d grant you the rights for free!

Built, Thorn1, Doctor Who
Got the version of Built #2 with the font change over to Joe Badon.
Working on some stuff for the Thorn1 EP (hopefully ready around Monday).
That’s my big day.
Anybody watch Doctor Who? I like how this season they’ve …

I don’t know how many of you remember The Maxx (comic book & later a cartoon on MTV in the 1990s); but I just read a thing where Sam Kieth (the guy who wrote & drew it) nonchalantly mentions drawing …

Remora Remix, Built, Car
Did some work on my remix of Remora‘s “My Brother’s Guns & Knives” basically just adding some bass & harmonica. Still fun. I was working on the mix on headphones & had the bass up really loud when I …
Max Ernst, Pow Wow, Rough Day, Silbeer
So I reviewed one Max Ernst’s proto-graphic novels over on Finally Checking It Out. I may be less sure than ever about what makes a comic after reading it.
I got an artist interested in drawing my new comic …

My sister stopped by today to help me with some pictures for photo references for making a paperdoll music video for Remora. Who knows how far out until I get that to happen.

I got some work done on some comics today doing layout on the scripts to deliver to artists. So I’m feeling like something good is happening with my idea of pushing up my content creation level.

Hey Brian, after my old HD died I installed GSmartControl to determine the health of the new one from time to time. It doesn’t run in the background nor it has any sort of autorun or whatever, so it does not consume system resources.
It’s also free application (GNU GPL), check it out: http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de/home/index.php/en/AboutCheers,
Nic -
I probably should get something like that. To be honest I never really think to scan a drive unless something squirrelly is happening. I suppose I should do it as routine maintenance.
-
It doesn’t need any scans to check drive’s health, Brian. It simply reads S.M.A.R.T. data from your HD – just in case, check S.M.A.R.T. on Wikipedia.
When you open the program, it immediately collect all the info about your HD’s health.
If you move the mouse over a value it shows a balloon tip with its meaning.
It can also do drive scans (quick or complete) on demand if something wrong is shown from the S.M.A.R.T. data analysis, but that’s not the program main purpose nor the normal routine.It doesn’t even add any registry key to Windows – so you can uninstall it completely without issues.
It’s a safe application – The only problem I ever heard is about using GSmartControl with Samsung F4 EcoGreen drives (HD204UI, HD204UI/Z4, HD204UI/UZ4, HD155UI, HD155UI/Z4, HD155UI/UZ4):

Royalties, Jon DeRosa, Ads
So recently I found out that throughout Europe royalties for a song are paid not just to songwriters & publishers, but also to individual performers & producers when a song is played on the radio or television (performers & producers …

isn’t this what BMILive does now? well maybe not producers but for performers.
I still can’t figure that part out if they’re only collecting when you play your own songs or if say our drummer plays the show does she get paid as well eventhough it’s not a song she has writing credits on. -
I’m pretty sure the money goes to the songwriters/publishers with BMILive. I never signed up for it because I really haven’t been playing shows since they have it. How much do you get for a show? $5 extra or less?
You know what’s funny is I remember needing to fill out all this paperwork on one of my Euro tours with my setlist & BMI info for every show & I never got money back from it.-
i’ve only been paid for one show thus far but got approx. 1.30-1.60 per song per show.
-
-
or register the choruses as separate songs and also include more choruses.
-
If a song has two parts it should be two songs. I’m a firm believer in that.

i once thought of doing stop motion but then when i realized what it entailed i was all fuck that. way too time consuming. which reminds me, now that i’m up and running again that video….i’ll think of doing something soon.
Yeah, I know, stop motion seems like a pain, but to do videos any other way I’d have to have more local people I felt I could count on to show up to do some work than I have access to.
