Okay, so I’ve been using PCs since 1984 (my dad was a computer dude, so we were pretty early adapters on that). My first 25 years using them I got two viruses (one in 1999 & one in 2003). A couple years ago I started using Google Alerts for all the releases on Silber & I’ve been going to sites of ill-repute that are offering free downloads of Silber music to ask them to stop. Yesterday I got my fifth virus related to this & it has been a little bit of a bitch to fix (Had to remove my anti-virus & run Combofix & then re-install the anti-virus. I’m assuming it’s fixed now, we’ll see.), so I’m giving up on fighting all the piracy stuff. Which I suppose I should’ve done before. From now on I’ll only work on the piracy where I can tell it’s a safe URL.
Did some more work towards the Remora Russian pop cover. A little more work to go on it of course. I think I have the vocals done. Need to decide if I’m going to add extra drum machine, bass, & guitar.
I was talking to Sarah June the other day & she’s talking about making some apparel available. Like fancy gloves & such rather than t-shirts. It’s an interesting idea. It reminds me of when Michael Gira made the Angels of Light thong underwear. What was that about? & did they sell well or did he just use them to pay the ladies who were in the band at the time? I remember seeing Captured by Robots & he had a couple different styles of underwear for sale & they were outselling his t-shirts for sure. Meanwhile I’m still here debating the bottle openers & box cutters. Or maybe I should make a “random swag bag” for sale that has postcards, stickers, bracelets, temporary tattoos, balloons, & buttons inside.
So far I only have about five interviews in for the QRD Father’s Day special. If you know anyone I should interview for it, let me know.
well now you can just think the way i do. People that are using these piracy sites probably never were going to pay for your music any ways.
I never thought they might pay otherwise, I just have an elitist status of thinking people who aren’t willing to pay for music don’t really have a need to hear it.
then it’s probably for the best you quit wasting time on it.
Yeah, I’m going to stop releasing my music in general soon I think. Just start working on music in the same way most people play video games.
