Now to business… I’ve heard through the grape vine that a local paper has placed me on a list to be voted on for best band. Please DO NOT VOTE FOR ME. Yes, you heard right. Don’t vote for me. Why? well, they want your phone number. And why do they want your phone number? So they can send you txt. For me, that’s just a bit too personal. I can understand an email address but as companies are now trying to figure out how the hell to start using ‘social media’ and trying to get close to the consumer they are just trying some really stupid stuff (‘stuff’ is the nice word). I’d rather not be a part of that.

Here’s what I’ll do. If you really want to show some support, send me your phone number. For each phone number or EMAIL I get, I’ll release a song or something I’ve been working on. I think that’s a better deal than giving Village Voice Media your phone number. Some of you told me you already voted. And I do appreciate it. And if you still want to vote, go ahead. But know that none of the artist are getting anything from it and neither are you.
