New Album, Mirror Mirror... and it's FREE!
I just finished uploading a new album to Last.fm and until I change my mind it's 100% free!
The only thing I would humbly ask is that you post comments, tag songs, add songs to your library and download them, of course, because these are the things that get your music noticed on Last.fm. Don't worry, you don't even have to pay them to listen either... it's all free so please feel free to pillage and plunder to your hearts content.
Free Album, Mirror Mirror from I'm Not Marvin
Thanks and enjoy!

Been a busy week...
Current mood:
Well, last Teusday my latest album went live on Amazon... I was expecting four to six weeks of lead time, like with most of the other download sites, but for some reason amazon only took three days? That was exciting because it meant I could start posting links and sending traffic to the sales page. I may have to wait for the more popular iTunes, but Amazon is ok... the price is right, that's for sure.

So posting links is one thing, but now I needed to brush up on my marketing and that is what has kept me the busiest this week. Having worked in advertising in a past life, as well as having been a web development consultant in another life, I knew enough to know that I needed to get up-to-date and deeper in depth in the online music marketing arena. I picked through what little free stuff I could find and bought a couple junk e-books, but I didn't get any real meat until I came across IndieMusician.com. It comes across a little like any other get rich quick, buy my ebook, three mile long web page that only wants to sell you some over-priced crap, but behind all that is a real group of professionals, several valuable web sites and a whole lot of meat. It's only a little over a week old at the time I am writing this so there's not even any buzz on the forums about Indie Musician, yet.
Anyway, I don't want to sound like a commercial so enough with the praise. I just wanted to say that I have nearly printed the entire site, made two cds that I listened to in bed and have gone almost 48 hours with little to no sleep as I have too many ideas and not enough time to do them all.
It's almost 11:00 p.m. so I am hoping to get to bed soon because six o'clock comes along way too soon!
I am working on puting together the back-end for an event idea I plan to impliment before the end of the year. It should be a lot of fun for those on my friends list and will involve free music! Who doesn't want that?
More to follow, very soon so that's all for now.
Goodnight!
