i’m back for the second day in a row. they must not have been working me hard enough at work today because i managed to attach a Creative Commons License to “Our Souls Will See Farther Than Our Eyes.”

i’m not worried about people listening to my music for free, i’m worried about people saying my work is their work. that’s really not a nice thing to do. and if you believe it or not, it has happened to me before. back in the day, i used to write cheezy college poetry on an old blog site called xanga. i had two, one called haeven and one called suncherry. i would post a lot of the poems i wrote back then to the haeven blog while suncherry was my personal day-to-day-bore-your-face-off blog. well, sometime last year one of my old college buddies emailed me asking if i knew such and such a blog person. i said no, and he said well, someone is stealing one of your poems. and sure enough. i asked the person to either attribute it to me or take it down. he took it down.

record labels that gauge peoples eyes out for records made by sucky bands is bad business. the RIAA deserves to die for what they do to their customers. so please, feel free to listen to my music and share it with anyone you know, but don’t try to pass it off as your own work. i don’t make music to make money, i make music to enjoy it and to enjoy other people enjoying my work.

hello my loverlies,

my apologies at being aways for so long. lots of new developments going on though.

if you visit my site and ever get really bored (which is really easy since i don’t update as much as i should), you may have noticed a neat little page to the right called “yelp.” yelp is a fun little “web2.0″ site where people congregate and share reviews of local commercial venues. i usually like to write a few paragraphs here and there when i go out about town. well, apparently the people at yelp like me so much i was selected to be an elite yelper! so check it out - my yelp site

BUT the REALLY BIG NEWS is that i’ve released two brand spanking new songs on the ethereal nation myspace site. The two tracks are:

1. C-Murder… Out (featuring Max Power aka DJ Scratch & Sniff aka DJ Shake & Bake III esq.) from the upcoming album “Catch Phrases of the Venerable Mr. Clinton Edward Creasy”
2. 58 W. Field St. (lessthanthree remix) from the upcoming EP “The Monument and the Cornerstone”

One of my goals this week is to slap together some cover art for The Monument and the Cornerstone EP and release those two projects in full. Crossing the fingers. Come to think of it, Catch Phrases already has album art, so who knows?

Keep it clean, Keeps it real
