Yeah, I guess 'upload' is the more relevant term. I don't so much see the marketing as 'shady', as 'tiring'. I admire the people who have the requisite skills and the patience a lot. Maybe I'll get around to it, but I guess, for now, focusing on the writing and arranging is enough. 🙂

Hey john, Basically, taking the time and energy available for making music away from doing gigs etc and honing in on the songwriting craft and seeing the process through from having an idea, to recording, then releasing the good ones... rinse, repeat. I can't really be bothered with the marketing side, though (and I'm not convinced there's a market for what I do, anyway), so they'll kind of just sit there for posterity, I guess. I tended to find, in the past, that a lot of songwriting ideas would kind of pile up, get put on the backburner and never get finished, 'cause I was too busy trying to hussle for gigs and what not. Hopefully, dedicating more time to songwriting circumvents all that.

Recent discoveries for me have been Lucius (great songs and spine-tingling harmonies) and William Tyler 🎧

Greetings, Songstuff-ers. I just discovered this site yesterday and had a quick look around before signing up. Looks alright so far. 🙂 My story is, basically, that I've recently made the transition into the quiet, cosy life of a bedroom guitarist after covid put the band on ice. The upside of this is that a lot more time has been freed up to concentrate on writing songs, then recording the ones I like and posting them into the ether. The downside is that I don't have as many opportunities to talk **** with other musos. So, I'm looking forward to having a space chatting about songwriting, posting what I've got and checking out what others are up to, songwise. I haven't read all the rules yet, but I assume they're mostly variations of "don't be a ****", which I'm pretty sure I can manage 😉. Cheers! 🍻
