Something happens in the middle of getting a divorce (and the process after, of course!). Well, a lot of somethings happen in the process of divorce. But the worst and most significant thing that happens is you lose your person. Now… I'm pretty sure a lot of us women thought that we lost our person long before we ever said the "D" word out loud…. but we really don't get it yet. There's a depth of losing that person that we have not even begun to understand.
For me, It's not til i was living on my own (separated at this time) that I truly felt something missing. I think this is when a lot of couples would actually get back together. I'm going to be doing a lot of rambling for the next couple paragraphs but bear with me. I felt something missing. Yes, i did. But i didn't miss him. I can't tell you how i knew that. To me it was definitely not him. but here are a few things that happened.
Self esteem nose-dive: this one I think has to do with something as simple as you no longer have the extra affirmation. You can't just turn to your spouse before leaving the house and say "what do you think about this outfit" or "do you think this new shirt looks funny with my jeans?" or as complicated as not getting the random "you look good today, babe" or "you are having a great hair day." Yeah, I know what you are saying… "Why on earth do you get rid of that random complimenter machine???" Trust me, I have my reasons. The fact is… we don't even know what that is doing to our every day sanity as women. We didn't know we neeeeeeeeeded that till it wasn't there. Hell! we didn't even know we were getting THAAAAT much. This is no reason to stay with him but our self-esteem is deeply tied to this. I think… total theory. My only credentials on the topic of divorce is the fact that i got one.
you want a dog or something equally as cuddly: I've joked about wanting a dog being the 6th stage of grief. You just have this need to have something else that is living and breathing in the house. I do understand that those of us with kids probably skip this step? Just a theory. I WANTED TO GO TO THE SHELTER SO BAD!!!! I got online and looked at puppies on craig's list and the local shelters daily. I went to shelters. I went to pet stores. I did end up rescuing a pup. He's the most skittish dog you've ever met. He isn't the biggest fan of people…. He is extremely picky about who he wants… sometimes… other times all you have to do is throw his toy…. He's got issues for sure. BUT! He came potty trained, he sleeps all night. And he will be your little spoon for as long as you stay put! He's what i call a burrower… neck first burrower. He wants to get as close to you as possible. and i think in his mind that means he wants to burrow straight through you. Sounds bad… but i swear its pretty damn cute. Except when he's burrowing neck first into your neck with his collar in a bad position.
Sundays are terrible!: Something about the rush and excitement of the weekend that makes Sunday evenings alone soooo damn difficult. It's like the air conditioner stopping and you didn't realized you liked the noise til it ended. It comes from a place so deep down that it almost hurts. A lot of the times, its the first moment i've sat still all weekend and i realized life sucks alone. No one signed up for this! I have this huge theory i'm sure to bring up super soon about how we aren't meant to be alone. Some people might be offended by this statement… but hear me out when the time comes… its at the least an interesting topic… in my biased opinion. My advice for the sunday evening blues (that have nothing to do with work the next day) – get a dog 🙂
Rebounding happens: Not much i can say on this topic that doesn't incriminate me. We settle for Mr. Right Now on occasion because we want to feel wanted. even if its just for the night. We know this is a terrible idea… but at least its fun? Moving right along. Rebounding goes well with needing affirmation and something cuddly and feeling lonely on sunday nights. It kind of all goes with this new void that we desperately want to shake.
Well, like i said, my only credentials on this topic is the fact that i am divorced and am currently or have gone thru these particular bullet points… (i'm sure there are tons more! If you can think of one off the top of your head please leave me a comment, I'd love to compare and embellish with you!).
That's enough rambling for now.

Created:2018-10-08 | Modified:2018-12-01 | Importance: 2/10
I like to think that my goal in life is to do as much good as I can. Probably in some kind of utilitarian sense; I have yet to read a lot more about utilitarianism. Since I don't know what I want to mean by "good" (what I want to want), and even less how I can do good, I am currently learning about relevant topics as fast as I can.
It's quite easy, however, to show that what precedes is not my only goal in life. Consider for instance the alternative: live and have impact +I vs die now and have impact +1.01 I.
So I'd better admit that what I want in life is a combination of the following: doing as much good as I can; seeing the results; getting happiness, knowledge, power, fame, a sense of meaning and intelligence; interacting with smart and interesting people; deferring the moment of my own death (going as far as I can in the future to see what it's going to be like); and more things I have yet to acknowledge or formulate.
During a long time, I did not have any goal in life.
Then when I was still fairly young (perhaps 10?), I figured out it would be: "be happy and make people around me happy".
Aged 17, I entered the French system of prépas. I was confronted with some really smart people. I decided I would become a genius (by the "exceptional achievements" standard). This turned out to be a huge cause of frustration, because although I have been exceptionally lucky compared to most people in the world, I have also been exceptionally unlucky compared to the people I wanted to emulate and even outperform.
This lasted about one year. I finally changed my mind and decided my new goal would be: "do as much good as I can".
It then took me some time to realize that I was partly lying to myself, and arrive at my present conclusion described above.

Stardew Valley's 1.1 update will allow you to choose a farm layout based on what you like to do most: fishing, farming, foraging, mining or combat.
At PAX, PC Gamer caught up with Eric "Concerned Ape" Barone to talk about the games upcoming 1.1 update. While the update won't contain the multiplayer fans have been waiting for, it is still a very substantial update with quite a few new features including "farm layouts" and new buildings. Barone says it will hit "about a month from now."
Farm layouts allow players to customize the layout of their farm based around the activity they most enjoy. The Standard Farm is the the "farming focused" farm we're used to. The Riverland Farm is spread out across several islands and riverbanks, with a focus on fishing. The Forest Farm has limited farming space due to its dense forests, but is perfect for the lumberjack wannabes. The Hill-top Farm has a focus on mining, and finally, the Wilderness Farm is for the combat-oriented player, as monsters will attack every night.
You will only be able to choose a farm layout for a new game - you can't apply it retroactively to an existing game.
New buildings include the shed - a completely open-ended room that players can customize to their heart's content, and the mill - which turns flour and beets into sugar.
Other inclusions in the patch are the addition of Shane and Emily to the marriage pool, new "artisans goods" such as void mayonnaise and mead (from honey), and dozens of new collectible cosmetic items.
As for multiplayer, Barone said that it would not be ready until "some time next year," but was hoping for "early" next year. The console port of the game however, should launch "around the holidays".
It's fantastic to see that this game that is being made by literately a single guy is getting so much post-launch love!

The African Americas Project & the Mystery of Dem Bow
I'm headed down to the University of Delaware tomorrow for "The African Americas Project," a two-day symposium bringing together quite a mix of artists, musicians, and scholars to explore the connections between Latin America, the Caribbean and the US.
For my part, I'll be talking about "Reggaeton's Afro-American Address," by which I mean the ways that reggaeton — despite a certain divisiveness — is best understood as a genre articulating a powerful synthesis of Afrodiasporic style which directly (and indexically, musically/semiotically speaking) addresses an Afro-American listening public (and here I use "Afro-American" — an outdated term in the US — in the broadest sense, as a term encompassing Afro-Jamaican, Afro-Puerto-Rican, Afro-Panamanian, and African-American styles and practices).
I'll make this argument by revealing the secret of the mystery of the mighty dembow. Here's a hint: the loop that turns up in the lion's share of reggaeton productions is not sampled from Shabba's seminal song, despite what Wikipedia and everyone else says. Nope. What you think was made in Kingston actually hails from Long Island! But you'll have to catch the talk, or wait for a forthcoming article, to get the full scoop.
It's an honor to be part of a program featuring so many distinguished speakers, among them keynoter Franklin W. Knight, a towering figure in Caribbean Studies. You can see the full program here (PDF), but let me also note, with some excitement, that another participant is none other than Jamaican filmmaker Storm Saulter, who will be screening Better Mus Come and other works tomorrow afternoon (and, awesomely, offering comment on the music panel I'm a part of on Friday).
If you're in the area, do drop by. Should be a stimulating session.
Also, how refreshing to be described as a "DJ, technomusicologist, and journalist"! Works for me.

Hi dear mr. Wayne, ive been following your blog since 2008, and its been about a year that havent read anything about reggaeton coming from you!
i was wondering if an article is coming soon? or has reggaeton has died, since its first "death" in 2006, i would like to see what you have to say for its status, and its future,
thank you
2. wayneandwax | October 5th, 2011 at 10:04 pm
Yes, I've been a little quiet on the reggaeton front (though I have discussed Dominican dembow here and there). It's not anything to do with the genre dying (again?), but more with my shifting interests. I'm hoping the article will see the light of day soon, but sometimes physical press stuff can take a really long time.
That said, I don't have too much new to say about reggaeton's present or future. In some ways, I see signs that it is as alive as ever. (Choque!) In others, not so much. I think, though, that it will remain a potent musical resource for certain people for many years to come. But that's the most specific my prognosticating is gonna get.

Thank you mr.wayne, i appreciate your response, i agree with your assesment.
anxiously waiting for your paper on reggaeton, i have already read your brilliant book REGGAETON with raquel rivera.

thats not fair. you never did let us on that secret about dembow?
i was always under the impression that it was made by a panamian-jamaican in newyork
5. wayneandwax | July 12th, 2012 at 8:42 am
Ha! Thanks for staying on the case. I'm sorry for the delay on the story. Been sitting on an article about it for a couple years, actually, and the publication recently folded, so now I'm looking around again. Soon!
But meantime, yes, the basic gist is that the version everyone samples in reggaeton is not from Shabba's recording but from a cover of it produced in NYC by Jamaican and Panamanian collaborators.

If you have never been here, you may be wondering what the best options are for getting around Palm Springs. Should you rent a car, ride share, call a cab, or take the bus? Many of these options are available for you to do right here in town. Here are the best ways to get around Palm Springs:
Getting Around by Car
Perhaps the easiest way to travel in Palm Springs is by having access to your own car. While there are many things to do in town, several of the outdoor trails and parks are a drive away. Travelers can easily rent a car from a Palm Springs car service inside the Palm Springs International Airport if you are flying in. Booking a rental car will be the most expensive option but it will make it easier for you to get around.
Getting Around by Bus
Travelers can also easily take the bus around Palm Springs with ease. There are currently 15 routes through SunLine Transit Agency, one of the many Palm Springs transportation services, and it costs $1 for adults and 50 cents for seniors. The Green Line No. 24 goes right through downtown Palm Springs but has limited hours and runs every 20 to 40 minutes. While the bus can save you money, it will require additional planning to get around town.
Getting Around by Ride Share or Taxi
Palm Springs is busy enough to where you can easily find a cab on the weekends in downtown. During the week is another story, however. For those who are tech savvy, both Uber and Lyft operate in California, making it easy to book a ride straight from your phone. Ride sharing makes it easy to get around without having to book a rental car in advance.
Getting Around Palm Springs by Foot
Many places in downtown Palm Springs can be easily accessed just by walking there. However, not everything will be in walking distance from some of the rental properties. Walking is a great way to stretch those legs, but make sure to have vehicle plans prior to your arrival.
Vacation with Palm Springs Getaways
There is never a bad reason to start planning your Palm Springs vacation getaway. For the most luxurious of vacation rentals with top customer service, make sure you choose Palm Springs Getaways. Give us a call and we will find the perfect vacation rental or villa that will make your trip one to remember. Get away from home with Palm Springs Getaways!

Wow what a weekend! I feel like I need a do over, anyone with me on this one?
We had a pretty busy weekend again. I worked Saturday 1/2 day at the nursing home, had friends over for burgers that night, then a family dinner on Sunday.
Lot's of food stuff going on this weekend. Which means I really need to tighten up some this week as well 🙂
- Monday – grilled fish, roasted cabbage, brown rice
- Tuesday – Chicken tostadas, salad
- Wednesday – Roast w/ veggies, mashed potatoes & salad
- Thursday – out to eat
- Friday – leftovers
I am so excited about this week, yet super busy so several meals will need to be cooked in a slow cooker. I am going to work Tuesday & Wednesday afternoons a couple of hours after school at the nursing home, which leaves me no time to actually cook. This is the perfect opportunity for me to use my new crock pot that I purchased a week ago!!
We have a concert Thursday night so we will be in New Orleans that night requiring us to eat on the way into the city. The hubster has a gift card for Copeland's so we will use that while we have the opportunity to go out and eat. I am excited but kinda saddened since my fav little place to eat out will not be open once we get there (which is why I agreed to Copeland's). They have a cute little diner (Johnny's) in the Jackson Square area that has the best po'boys! You know one of those places that the tourist usually do not know about 🙂 Well they close at 4:30 so we will not make it in time to eat, that just means we have to make a day trip into the quarter for shopping and food later 🙂
ANDDDD…… last night I placed a pretty big order on Amazon which should arrive this eve/tmrw so I will have a good haul video coming soon!!
Have a fantastic week!!

A world without promises
Is a world without hope.
There would be no prominence
Anywhere on this globe.
Promises are like early paydays,
But only when they're kept.
For when they're thrown away
They're as useless as pesky pests.
Promises are like amends
That you send far, far away
To only just a few close friends
Who return them after a day.
Promises are like jars
Some of which are empty
And more that will leave scars
But most will bring you plenty.
Breaking them is easy
Please don't give it a try
Just don't act sleazy
Or you can kiss them goodbye.
Promises, you are so very useful!
Your every essence
Will keep us all truthful
When learning life lessons.
'Tis why I love you, promises!
You give me the feeling of pride
And leave me with a sense of dominance.
Together we coincide.
So do us all a favor,
Don't do anything absurd!
And never ever waver
To be true to your word!

ASSET in the News: ASSET Explains Why Many American Workers Are At Risk

Jack Fitzgerald, ASSET founder appeared on News Channel 8 "Let's Talk Live" to talk about how the estate tax threatens many workers who work for private businesses. Since fortune 500 companies don't pay an estate tax, those workers are never at risk if the CEO or Chairman suddenly dies. The estate tax threatens the medium [...]

25 Nov My Journey to 1,000 Spotify Followers – Part 1
Let me start out by saying, at the time of writing this post, I do not have 1,000 Spotify followers. This is an experiment or "live" challenge to follow my goal of hitting that number.
I'm starting from zero and covering everything that I do to reach more potential listeners. I'll cover topics like how I distribute my music, how I create artwork, and I'll even test different music promotion strategies to uncover the best performers.
This blog post, and future posts in this series, will act as a guide for DIY musicians who want to promote their own music and build a successful music career, even if starting from scratch. I will test a variety of different promotion methods and services, showing you the ones that work and the ones that don't, and in turn, help you save money and build your fan base quicker.
With so many promotion outlets available to us as musicians (like Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, Instagram, Facebook, playing shows, building an email list, etc.), it can become overwhelming and difficult to decide where to focus.
Spend your time on too many outlets and you'll spread yourself thin. Focus on the wrong ones and/or use the wrong strategies and you'll waste a lot of time and money.
I'm hoping this guide will alleviate some of these issues for musicians and highlight the best places/strategies that lead to success. So without any further delay, let's get right into it:
There will be more posts in this series as I test out different promotion methods. If you'd like to stay up-to-date on my journey, make sure to signup to the newsletter using the form at the bottom of this post.
First, a bit of background
Before I touch on what I've done so far to promote myself and what I plan to do next, let me first provide a bit of context.
About two and a half years ago (in July 2016), I released my debut EP, Four Years, for my solo project, Alter Heart.
If you enjoy my music and/or you want to support my music, please consider following me on Spotify. Thanks in advance!
Since then, life has really gotten the best of me and things like work, relationships, and distraction from other music projects has affected my ability to put out new music.
While I'm proud of the music I put out, I spend a lot of time and money on something that ultimately led nowhere. In all, I spent about $3,000 to produce Four Years, a 7-song EP. Most of that was spent paying session singers and on mixing and mastering (which was about $250/song). Some was spent on advertising (like Facebook ads).
It was a lot to spend but I wanted to put out the best product I could and I was able to afford it since I was still living with my parents at the time.
However, the music did not receive much success in the way of plays, followers, or gaining real fans. I got some listens from family and close friends, but to this day, that has pretty much been it.
I've had the most plays on SoundCloud, with nearly 2,000 to-date. However, Spotify is much less (about 200), as you'll see further below.
I tried some different marketing tactics at first, but most of it was a waste since I didn't really know what I was doing. I had a limited budget to spend on promotion because I spent so much on the production of the album and I had no real plan.
This brings me to now.
I'm finally poised to release a new single and I want to go about things differently. I have done A LOT of reading on music marketing and the different options and tactics available to DIY musicians today. Additionally, I know quite a bit more about marketing and have improved my skills.
I have a plan in place, while not perfect and very likely to evolve, my commitment to marketing myself this time is a lot more structured and at the front of my mind.
Back then, I think I really thought all I had to do was release some great music and it would catch fire with a small amount of promotion. Now, I know better. I also spent a lot of time trying to put together a live act that never panned out. That is not an opportunity for me at the moment.
All of my future music will be released digitally and I'll have to gain fans digitally instead of playing shows.
So let's touch on where I go from here.
Update: My latest release "Going Down" (and the song discussed throughout this post) is now out. Take a listen:
Why did I choose 1,000 followers as my goal?
So why 1,000 followers?
Really, it's a number I plucked out of the air that I think is attainable but isn't so far out of reach that I'm bound to fail. It's good to give yourself attainable goals and stick to them.
Ideally, you want to use the SMART framework and give yourself a specific deadline for hitting your goal. I haven't done that quite yet since I'm not sure what success I'll have with the promotion strategies I plan to use. But, I have a number I want to reach and I'm not stopping until I reach it.
I have zero followers now, so hitting this number would be a huge achievement for me. I also know there are many artists that are in the same place who could benefit from seeing this "from-the-ground-up" approach.
But, this isn't the only goal I have. First, I have a goal of getting 1,000 Spotify plays on my single. From there, I want to gain 1,000 followers. In theory, more streams should eventually lead to more followers, so my goal for plays will increase as I hit that number.
At the time of writing this post, I've had 57 listeners for a total of 208 streams on Spotify:
I've included this here so you can see that I'm pretty much starting from scratch. There's no place to go from here but up :).
The process of promoting my music and trying to hit my goal has already started.
My next single, titled "Going Down", is set for release on December 7th, 2018. I've purposely set this for Friday as this has become the industry standard for releasing music (hence New Music Friday on Spotify). After this, I plan to release a new single every four to six weeks.
Now let me cover what I've done so far to help position myself to reach my goal and then I'll touch on what I plan to do next (and cover in future posts).
What have I done so far?
Here's a quick snapshot of everything I've done prior to this post:
I created a Trello board for my music and a card for my latest release
If you're unfamiliar with Trello, it's a project management tool that you can use for free. I use the platform quite extensively for my marketing agency.
Basically, you can create different lists, and within those lists, different cards. In each card, you can add a description, comments, images, checklists, and so on.
In my case, I created two lists so far:
- Songs
- Submitted for Distribution
I have one card created for my upcoming release. In this card, I have different checklists that I've broken down into time frames such as "Before Submitting for Distribution" and "Anytime Before Release". It'd be better to be more specific (ex. 1 week from release), but for now, this is how it looks:
Having this Trello board will help me to stay organized and make sure I'm completing all of the branding, design, and promotion tasks I want to accomplish for each release. I'll add to this board and tweak it as I go.
I designed the cover art for the single
Of course, every single needs a cover, so I had to complete this before submitting the song for distribution. Like my last release, I decided to create this myself. I started with a stock image and crafted it into something I like and fits the song.
Here's the image I started with:
And here is the final cover for the single:
To me, Going Down is all about moving on from your past self and becoming something completely different. Or in other words, burying the "old you". So a picture of a grave is fitting.
I won't go into detail on how I did this (just a bit of Photoshop manipulation really). But if you'd be interested in a walkthrough of how I created this cover, let me know in the comments below.
I submitted the single for distribution
To release my music, I chose to use Symphonic Distribution. Their model has changed a bit since I first signed up with them. You now have to apply to use the platform. Since I signed up before this change, I can still use them freely.
It costs me $10 per single and I believe $20 per album for distribution. They do not take a cut of my sales and there is no yearly membership.
However, for those of you who need a distributor, you might check out Distrokid. This would have been my 2nd choice behind Symphonic.
Distrokid is $20/year to upload and distribute as much music as you want. There are some extra fees such as YouTube monetization and I'm unsure if they will keep your release up if you stop paying for their service. I know they offer their "Leave a Legacy" service which ensures your music stays up forever:
But these things can add up, which is why I decided to stick to Symphonic. Still, Distrokid seems like a solid service and is cheaper than CD Baby or Tunecore.
I submitted my single on SubmitHub
SubmitHub is a website that allows you to submit your music to blogs, Spotify playlists, and YouTube channels for consideration. You can submit songs for free but you are limited to two "credits" every four hours. A credit might equal one submission to one site or blog. However, some sites require two or three credits.
When using free or "Standard" credits, you are also not guaranteed a response or feedback from the site you submit to.
Alternatively, you can choose to use a "Premium" credit to ensure that sites listen to your song for at least 20 seconds and that you receive a response with feedback. If the blog does not listen to your track or provide feedback, you are refunded your credit.
Premium credits cost as much $1.20 to $0.80 per credit based on the package you purchase.
Here are the package options:
I went ahead and bought 100 credits as I want to thoroughly test the service and I'll be releasing multiple songs within the next couple of months.
My results thus far have been disappointing, though.
For my single, Going Down, I submitted the track to 52 sites. Here are the results:
Out of the 52 sites, 39 listened to my track and responded. The result?
One approved submission for a SoundCloud channel with 661 followers. Since my single hasn't been released, we'll have to wait to find out if they actually go through with posting it.
This means I had a 1.9% conversion rate. My total cost was 49 credits or $39.20.
I completed two campaigns. The first was submissions to only U.S. sites while the second included all international sites. I had a higher response rate for international submissions but the feedback I received was generally worse and not very helpful. In total, the feedback was mostly all over the place and not very helpful.
I'm not going to go in-depth on this service just yet. I want to write a full review once I've tested it with a few more songs. It's still up in the air whether or not this service will be worth the money and time. I don't think judging it off one song is enough.
If any of you have experience with this service, please let me know how it has worked out for you in the comments below.
I submitted to Spotify's playlist feature
If you have a Spotify for Artists account, you can submit your latest release to Spotify for playlist consideration. However, most Spotify playlists are generated algorithmically and even the hand-curated playlists are put together after analyzing data like the number of plays a song has, skips, saves, and so on.
Using Spotify's submit feature will make sure that your song is in your follower's "Release Radar" playlist once the song is released, though (as long as you submit enough beforehand). While I do not have any followers yet, I decided to try this feature.
To submit a song, you can login to your Spotify for Artists account and find your upcoming release (you must have submitted your song for distribution). You can then fill out a form for the submission:
This form will ask you to pick a genre for the track, what culture it fits into, what instruments are in the track, and more.
Once you've completed the form, you'll see a success message like the one below:
On your Catalog page, the status will be updated to show that you have submitted the track:
Note: You can only submit one track at a time. You can not submit another track until this one has been released (a possible reason to focus on singles vs. releasing full albums).
I added a Spotify player and follow button to Infamous Musician (this website)
This Spotify player is on the homepage and on each individual blog post in the site's sidebar.
Infamous Musician receives about 10,000 visits/month. Although this traffic doesn't come from my music but more so people who find my tutorials and reviews, we'll see if it attracts any plays or follows. So far, it doesn't seem to have produced much but this was a simple addition to make. I'll continue to monitor this and see if it makes any difference.
I redesign the Alter Heart website
I wanted to redesign my artist website for Alter Heart prior to the release, mainly for the purpose of just giving it a new look (it's been a few years since I've updated it) and to make sure the homepage was optimized for what I want my website to achieve. I also wanted to make sure it properly represented my brand image (which is mostly very dark and ominous).
The majority of people will not discover your music by landing on your website. They'll first find you through Spotify, YouTube, a concert, etc. Your website is there to create a deeper connection with the people who want to become fans and not just listeners.
On your website, fans should be able to easily and quickly find your music, download or buy songs, buy merch, find shows, follow you on social, and signup for your email list. So I wanted to optimize around these experiences and make things as simple as possible.
My website is built on WordPress, so I created a duplicate of my homepage and redesigned the layout. Then once I was satisfied, I updated the URL and made the new homepage live.
Here's what the site looked like before (the screenshot below has been split into two parts, both are part of the same page):
Here's what the homepage looks like now:
Mainly, I simplified the homepage to focus on three things:
- The Spotify player that also has a follow button below it so people can easily follow me
- My email signup and social links
- Merch items I have available (which is just music at the moment but I'd like to expand this to t-shirts and other items)
If you need help building your own website, I have a step-by-step guide for building a musician website here.
I added my past EP on Datpiff
Datpiff is a site where hip hop and rap artists can post their music. It's mostly dedicated to mixtapes. I don't think the audience and site structure really suit my music but I decided to put my past EP on there to see if it would attract any plays.
It didn't garner much attention (only 19 plays since being up about one week), nor did I expect it to. I'm mainly striking things off my list at this point.
I emailed past connects
While growing my email list isn't a focus of this challenge, it's still an important part of building a music career and I don't want to neglect it. With an email list, you can let fans know about upcoming releases, music videos, merch for sale, shows, etc.
Just like my follower account on Spotify, my email list was non-existent. I had one, there just weren't any contacts on it (besides myself and my ex).
So I decided to reach out to some past connects.
Shortly after releasing my album, Four Years, I moved to Raleigh, NC (I'm originally from Rochester, NY). Once I got here, I tried to put together a live act for this project but never succeed. I did manage to practice with a few people, try out some others, and had a few people message me about trying out but never moved past messaging one another.
I compiled all of these contacts into a spreadsheet and then sent them an email asking if they'd like to signup for my email list (I also encouraged them to follow me on Spotify):
I also did the same for any session singers I worked with on Four Years and a few upcoming releases.
In total, I reached out to 24 people in total. I had zero subscribers and now I have five. It's a start. These are also people who are actually interested in my music too, not just family or friends who signup because they should.
I added a few Spotify follow gates on Infamous Musician
A follow gate is a download page that asks you to follow an artist in exchange for the download. There are a few services that I found that allow you to do this:
I decided to try these out in an unconventional way to see if I can get visitors on this blog to follow me on Spotify. I already have a few gated PDFs that I've used to help build my email list. Normally, I use a WordPress plugin called ConvertPlus to serve these up.
However, I was able to click a few click triggers using Show.co that would deliver these PDFs instead. A click trigger is a call-to-action that you click and it displays the mentioned offer. Here's an example:
I set up a few of these across some of the more popular posts on Infamous Musician. Once someone clicks the text, "Click Here to Get the PDF", they'll see a download page like the one below:
The person can choose to follow my artist account on Spotify or enter their email to receive the download.
I'm not sure how effective this will be. These types of download gates are meant for songs and not PDFs (Show.co was the only one I could get to work with PDF downloads). But since I have this blog and it receives a decent amount of monthly traffic, I figured I'd give it a go and see if I can gain any followers.
What's next?
Finally, we can cover what I plan to do next to promote my music and move towards my goal of 1,000 Spotify followers. At the time of publishing this article, there are two weeks left before I release my single.
Here's what's next on my list:
Immediately after my single is released (day of the release):
- Update my website Spotify player to include the new single
- Add the track to Datpiff (I expect minimal results here but it's free to do)
- Upload the track on YouTube (this will be audio only with a picture of the album cover)
- Upload the track to SoundCloud
- Email the Infamous Musician email list once my single is released (I'll schedule this prior to the release to send out automatically). I do not expect a lot of results here either since these people signed up because of the content on Infamous Musician and not because of my music. However, this list currently has 5,000 subscribers. So I'll send out for this release and we'll see what type of engagement I get there.
- I have a list of more than 100 different music blogs that I will be pitching prior to the release. I'm cutting it a little close with only two weeks before the release but I'll send these out asap (I've read it's best to send three or weeks prior).
Anytime after the release:
- Pitch Spotify playlists. This will be my main focus and I'll be doing this as soon after the release as possible and continuing until I've reached out to all the playlists I can. I've manually come up with a list of places to try out and I'll discuss the results hopefully in my next post. There are playlist pitching services and I'd like to try some out and cover them on this blog if they're worth it. But, I'll likely try the manual approach first. Here are some of the playlist pitching services I've come across:
A few seem legit and I've read reviews on (ex. Playlist Push) while others seem a little sketchy and I'm not sure they are legit (ex. Juss Russ and Omari MC). There are many scams out there. I'm just listing the sites I've come across in my research. I do not know if these sites are viable options yet. I hope to test some out going forward.
If you have any experience with the above services, let me know how they worked for you in the comments below.
Well, that sums up everything so far. Again, this is just the first post in a series that will be covering my goal of reaching 1,000 Spotify followers. I'll post more as I go and update you with everything that I'm doing, what works and what doesn't.
If you want to stay up-to-date and ensure you see these future posts, make sure to sign up to the Infamous Musician newsletter (there's a signup at the bottom of this blog post).
If you want to see more posts like this and reviews of the promotion services I've mentioned in this article, please consider supporting this blog. You can do so by signing up for my newly created Patreon page.
By committing just $2 per month, you'll receive exclusive updates and access to tests/reviews as I complete them (there's no waiting until the final results in my blog post). There's also a lot that I don't include in these blogs posts, otherwise, they'd be 10,000 words long! (this one alone is about 4,000 words).
You can also use one of the affiliate links below to help contribute. Using any of these links won't cost you anything extra but I will make a little from any direct purchases you make. I don't make much from this blog but all of it goes back into this site or promoting my music, which means I can put out more of this type of content and more often. So if you like what you see, please help out if you can:
- If you haven't already, sign up for an account on Reverb here, where you can buy and sell music gear.
- If you're thinking about building a website, you need website hosting. I recommend A2 Hosting. You can pick out a plan here and follow my step-by-step guide to building a musician website.
- If you need band merch, consider signing up for Printful. Using Printful, you can create t-shirt designs and Printful will fulfill them as they're ordered. There's no need to buy a bunch of t-shirts and keep an inventory on hand. This is great for bands or musicians just starting out with selling tees.
- If you need anything on Amazon, use this link.
- Buying a WordPress theme here, a plugin here, or any graphic design materials here will also help.
Every little bit helps, so I appreciate all of you who support this blog!
To wrap up, I hope this post was helpful to you and you've discovered some ways you can boost your music career. Be sure to look out for the next post and if you have any questions, leave them in the comments below and I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks for reading!

Comic-Con 2010: Romance Novelist Janet Evanovich Gets Graphic
The vast majority of Comic-Con is still dedicated to the printed and paneled form, but given the growth of niche publishing, even mainstream authors like James Patterson and romance adventure novelist Janet Evanovich are giving the format a go. Both are now leveraging their established brands as a way to attract a new segment of readers and ideally grow their audience in both directions. But it may not be an easy transition.
Evanovich's first graphic novel "Troublemaker," which she co-wrote with daughter Alex Evanovich, was just released by Dark Horse Comics a few days ago. So far, it's been given a single failing star by nine out of 11 posts on Amazon.com. (Comic fans can be prickly to uninitiated strangers.)
The 67-year-old author, who has topped the New York Times bestsellers list 14 times and has sold a career record of 90 million books, still has her adoring fans. Evanovich is even recognized while walking around Comic-Con.

Ethical Cities Lecture
Global urbanisation is predicted to reach 70% by 2050, meaning 3 billion more people will relocate to cities seeking a place to live a better life. How will our cities respond to such a challenge?
Cities are complex realities -- a mix of materials, infrastructures, technologies and people held together by intricate dynamics. The trend over the last decade saw wealth and power gathered in the hands of the 1% of the global population, giving rise to inequalities reflected in the way our cities developed.
As more people flock to cities, the problems of modern urbanization increase. We must tackle issues such as lack of accountability and transparency in governance, scarce citizen engagement, environmental sustainability and climate change, and the housing affordability crisis.
How do we ensure a future where democracy and diversity foster social inclusion and equality for all? How can we improve our cities so that they are truly liveable, smart and resilient, accommodating diverse populations with differing needs?
Join us for a lecture on Ethical Cities and find out how we can reconcile private, political and economic agendas in order to redefine our shared future in the urban age.

Thanks so much SS!

Cal Reiet is more than a hotel. It's more than a holistic retreat escape. It's a family. And everyone involved in this beautiful project is unique. We believe in the power of people, in the power of doing good things for others and in the power of healing as a group, because empathy is what's most important to build up. So now we have decided to introduce the Cal Reiet team members individually for you to get to know them better, to understand their background and to discover why they are working with us at Cal Reiet. Here goes the fifth 'meet the team' article!
Rosa Asturias is a plant-based chef & healthy food coach who was born in Barcelona and moved to Mallorca at 17 years old, falling in love with the island. After successfully opening and running two restaurants in Palma, she grew an interest in nutrition and its healing power and started her training in these areas (Masters in Vegan and Vegetarian cuisine). She recently obtained the qualification of Expert in Natural and Holistic Nutrition, in the Holistic Institute of Vital Hygiene, in Madrid.
Once understanding and realizing the importance of food and its direct connection to health, this yoga-lover couldn't get enough of all the new and exciting knowledge and couldn't wait to put it to good use. Her winter stays in Asia leave an important trace in most of her dishes, where it is easy to find spices, fresh herbs, seeds, seaweeds and all kinds of fruits, veggies or pulses, in an original mix of tastes and flavours.
Rosa's cuisine is mainly plant-based, intuitive, a little bit transgressive and very creative. Paying particular attention to cooking procedures and showing deep respect for original ingredients, she firmly believes that what we eat will also nourish our soul. This is why it's worth to cook putting all our love in it.
In 2017, she starts her professional collaboration with Cal Reiet, where she has been able to elaborate gluten free, sugar free and her own vegan recipes daily for breakfast and where she has also been sharing her knowledge with guests and readers by publishing monthly recipes on Cal Reiet's blog.


text: In this paper, we present analysis of the propagation of acoustic plane waves in an impedance tube, in which a liner is attached at one end of the duct. The purpose is to evaluate a linearized Navier-Stokes solver as a tool to determine the acoustic performance of the liner. The liner considered consists of a perforated plate with several circular holes and a rectangular back cavity. The inuence of parameter variations such as plate thickness, porosity area examined. The prediction of the acoustic characters of the liner is based on the numerical solutions of the linearized Navier-Stokes equations in frequency domain in three space dimensions. The impedance as well as reection coefficients of the liner for frequencies in the plane wave regime are obtained by two-microphone method data, which are compared to experimental data as well as results from a semi-empirical model. The results presented in this paper agree very well with results of the linear semi-empirical model, while there are some discrepancies to the experimental results. The reasons for these discrepancies are not fully understood, but could partly be due to that a linear assumption is not always valid.

Australian opal has long been recognized as the most desirable in the world, but what gives the wonder from down under its superior iridescence, shape and size? Geologists will tell you it's the unique mineral deposits buried deep in Australia's soil which slowly form the famously fine stones. But Aboriginal Australian legend tells us opals were formed when the great Creator came down to earth on a rainbow with a message of peace for mankind, and wherever the Creator's feet touched the ground, opal deposits were formed.
Whether you prefer the science or the story, the Opal Wonder Ring lives up to expectations. The Australian opal doublet at the heart of this ring has everything opals from down under are famed for. Stare into this blue-green beauty for just one second and you'll see the colors dance as it shimmers in the light. We've even added a little extra fire with 40 DiamondAura® rounds circling the opal.
Australian opals have exploded in price, so when you tell people you paid less than a hundred dollars for this ring, don't be surprised if they think you created a myth of your own.

Retrospective, the newest art gallery in the hamlet of Hudson, N.Y., inaugurated its space this past Saturday night with "Gambler's Choice," a sold-out show of bright, cartoon-inflected paintings by the 27-year-old Brooklyn-based artist Jamian Juliano-Villani. Seemingly worlds away from the white-cube spaces of Chelsea two hours to the south, Retrospective features vintage checkerboard floors and a sculptural tree branch in the bathroom that serves as a toilet paper holder. The project is the brainchild of the art dealers Zach Feuer and Joel Mesler, fixtures of the New York and Los Angeles art worlds. Feuer, who moved upstate several years ago and commutes to his eponymous Chelsea gallery, says he wanted to try something "outside the pressure cooker." Even Retrospective's name alludes to what Mesler, the owner of Untitled Gallery on the Lower East Side, called the "speed of the art world" — in which younger and younger artists land exhibitions surveying their already oversize careers. "But 'Retrospective' also sounds like an '80s rock band," he adds.
The two are clearly having fun with the space. This October, a group of artists will design a Halloween-themed haunted house. And throughout the year, Retrospective will host an experimental exhibition space — curated by Tom Eccles, the executive director of the Center for Curatorial Studies at nearby Bard College — staged in the one-square-foot gap under a loose tile near the front door.
As Feuer notes, Hudson is already home to many well-known artists, such as Brice Marden and David Hammons. Some have also set up shop: the former Guggenheim fellow Nancy Shaver has run Henry, a cult curio store a few blocks down Warren Street, since 1998; on the same strip, the artist Laleh Khorramian opened the boutique Laloon last summer. Marina Abramovic, meanwhile, is planning to open a namesake institute in 2016 in a former theater to be renovated by Rem Koolhaas's Office for Metropolitan Architecture. And the town and its environs are seeing an influx of creatives from across the cultural spectrum. In 2010, the musician Melissa auf der Maur and the filmmaker Tony Stone opened the performance space Basilica Hudson in a reclaimed 19th-century factory steps away from the town's train station; the celebrated New York chef Zak Pelaccio (Fatty Crab and Fatty 'Cue) opened a Hudson restaurant, Fish & Game, last year. "There's a connoisseurship up here," says Mesler. And although opening night marked only his third visit to town, the L.A.-born New Yorker is already looking to buy a farm in the area. "I want a chicken coop," he says. "I want to work hard in the city and sell art, then come up here and play with chickens."
