Hey, you can release EPs and albums for fun too you know.  To be honest, even an official release without all the bells and whistles can be done for less than the cost of a cafe lunch for one. Most often your time is more in question. Point is playing gigs can be just for fun. Recording can be just for fun. There are even those that consider radio, tv, even films are just for fun, building a fanbase of listeners… can all be for fun with no money or commercialism in sight. Even those who do all that commercially might still be doing it largely for the fun of it.

 

So, I ask because you never know!

 

Having your music played on radio is a buzz, though it’s a moment, you can’t quite believe it… usually because you often encounter it unexpected, as a listener, while you are doing everyday stuff. It stays with you a while. TV is more of a drawn out event. Filming takes anything from a couple of hours to several days depending on what you are filming. You can then take days to months before broadcast. Normally you get a heads up. If your music is being used in a 3rd party production after licensing you have zero visibility until a broadcast date months to years later depending on what. Then if you like the association you might be proud and smiling, if you don’t you might be cringing and hiding or braising it out consoling yourself with the bucks you earn.

 

Weirdly, in both cases it takes getting used to the fact that your work is now public property and everyone and their dog will have an opinion. After TV or even newspapers getting recognised is a sure trigger for paranoia. Everywhere you go people mutter, point and weirdly smile or look at you jeeringly. It takes getting used to.

 

Anyhoo, yay radio! Lol
