Please help spread the signal

[ericcoleman]

We have released the first part of Singles and Fiddly Bits and so far virtually no downloads. 4 as of last night and it's been out a week. So please help spread the signal. We intend to do 3 more of these before Susan moves away.

We want this music to get heard. It's pay what you want, so DL it for free. Just DL it and tell others about it.

Out Of The Light - Trio version. The CD version was a full band, so it was missing Susan's marvelous gamba part. This is how we do it live.

A Song About Fog - Maybe Lizzie's loveliest melody. Susan's viola playing is gorgeous (if I do say so myself, and I do say so myself).

Coming up in the weeks ahead ...

Haunted - two versions - Kind of like Daughter Of The Red, the serious, lovely version and the brain melter version.

Catnyp / Narrow Way - A brand new song, only played out a few times so far. And a song for Adam Selzer's sadly unfinished Prospero and The Tempest Tossed project which turned out to be too eerie to leave to that project.

Village By The Sea / Witch In Your Story - Two Susan songs, these versions are fueled by Scotty Moore and Richard Thompson (on the first) and Slade (on the 2nd). I think maybe to her slight dismay.

We need your help to get the music out there. Take a listen, tell your friends.

Duly boosting the signal, on LJ and FB. I had a similar experience last year, though--put out a whole album and I think seventeen people have downloaded it so far, despite repeated postings about it on my part. I don't think viral marketing works as well as they say it does (although it's also entirely possible that I suck at it). :)

I hope yours takes off soon and does significantly better.

I think I am one of those 17 who purchased your album last year. (And likely 1 of the 4 downloads here, too.)

I know I posted 2 albums on Bandcamp for someone else and they have had a total of 1 purchase and it was a not a filker I knew.

Thank you both of you.

It sounds exciting! When you get all the stuff up, please post an announcement on filk, so I can see it & give you money for it.

It helps to post in central places more folks are likely to see; not even the filkferengi can keep up with all the filkers' individual blogs. It also helps to have everything up at once, because it's far too easy to get distracted & forget to go back & check for updates.

I'm always a little hesitant to post in such places. I'm afraid that too many will feel that it is spam.

It's not spam, if it's stuff we want. If you post it, we will glomp on it with avid glee.
