Blogs, Nudity, Art, Remora, Dream

So today I finished going through the Hype Machine bloggers.  One thing I noticed that a lot of bloggers do now that I don’t quite get is having random “funny” pictures of naked girls in a blog entry.  Like a …

    maybe you should pose nude for you blog

  2. So this blog entry got some links to it presumably for having the word “nudity” in the subject line. So I guess probably the bloggers do get extra traffic for using naked pictures….

Stats & the Future

So I downloaded my webstats & it’s interesting to me.  On the new Christmas comp about 1000 people went to the page, but only 50 people downloaded the zip & the rest just streamed the audio.  Which I think just …

    with so many people online all the time, there’s no real good way to convince them to a.)buy or b.) download.

    Also from my experience…most people are still finding new music and sharing it via youtube. which i find weird conceptually but i guess it’s more of the one stop shopping…. videos and/or music and bootlegs etc. . . all in one place.

    also, so many people i know are hopping on the spotify bandwagon (free version of course).

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 …

Remora artwork

I spent most of the day working on the artwork for the new Remora.  It’s slower than I anticipated & I’ll still need to lay it out in a program a printer will accept.  But I still hope to get …

Remora, Outer Limits, Dream

So I spent several hours this morning working on the little sculpture I’m thinking of using for the Remora: Scars Bring Hope album cover.  Not 100% sure on it yet.

I got in another mastered version of Scars Bring Hope …

    after reading the What it is…..i guess the general consensus of the panel was to give it up you’re not going to make it as a musician/in the music biz.

Painted Comics, Blog #1, Super Bowl Show, SPACE Anthology

I spent a lot of today scanning in some of my paintings to make into comics.  I still need to figure out exactly how I want to do them.  They are currently done as collections of nine paintings with loose …

    one of the women in that band pissed herself on stage once, i’m guessing you’re expecting too much from them.

    • I thought the only girl in that band was the one from Kids Incorporated? Maybe she had an excuse like she was huffing freon or something, because I’ve seen that make a girl pee her pants before. Didn’t you have a singer pee in the van a little while ago? Maybe it’s a common problem amongst lady singers?

Remora, Phone Reviewers, Wolverine, Thorn1, Web Work, Games, Tariffs

Got a final mix done & sent in the Remora track from yesterday in for the comp.  We’ll see if it makes the cut & if the comp comes out (you never know these days).

Today’s installment of Silber mini-comics …

    doesn’t that already exist:

    THE AUDIO HOME RECORDING ACT OF 1992:
    The AHRA provides that the importer, manufacturer, or distributor of any digital audio recording device or digital audio recording media must file quarterly statements and pay, with those filings, royalties on each recorder or piece of media distributed in the United States. The royalty is 2 percent of the manufacturer’s selling price for recorders and 3 percent of the manufacturer’s selling price for recordable media. The royalty minimum for recorders is one dollar and the maximum is eight dollars, although in 1998, interested parties (such as musicians and music publishers) may request an increase in the royalty maximum under certain conditions. There are no minimum or maximum royalties for recording media.

    Two-thirds of the royalties go into the Sound Recording Fund and are distributed from that fund to the American Federation of Musicians (2-5Ú8 percent), the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (1-3Ú8 percent); 40 percent of the remaining royalties go to featured recording artists and 60 percent are distributed to music publishers.

    The remaining third of the royalties are allocated to the Musical Works Fund and are distributed evenly between music publishers and songwriters. The percentages of distribution within each group of beneficiaries is determined by the groups themselves.

    • Here’s the thing with that (from Wiki):
      Blank music CDs and recorders

      17 U.S.C. § 1008 bars copyright infringement action and 17 U.S.C. § 1003 provides for a royalty of 3% of the initial transfer price. The royalty rate in 17 U.S.C. § 1004 was established by the Fairness in Music Licensing Act of 1998. This only applies to CDs which are labeled and sold for music use; they do not apply to blank computer CDs, even though they can be (and often are) used to record or “burn” music from the computer to CD. A similar royalty applies to stand-alone CD recorders, but not to CD burners used with computers.

      Thanks to a precedent established in a 1998 lawsuit involving the Rio PMP300 player, MP3 players are deemed “computer peripherals” and are not subject to a royalty of this type in the U.S.

Remora song, Extreme Lost Kisses, Art, Web Ratings, Dreams

So I don’t know if the song I have been talking about is going to be used on the comp or not. It is perhaps a bit sub-par to me & not really fully realized, but probably ready to be …
