stupid first world achievements and successes

Just finished mastering the debut Hush Hush Noise album, two years in the making (very little of which time was actually spent working on it). Pending bandmate approval, it should be up on bandcamp by the end of the day.

*commences hootin & hollerin*

Managed to release an ep without a single Soundcloud hit (least exposure ever on iTunes)

Diode EP?

I finally have running hot water at home again, after three months of total water heater failure. Wasn't cheap though.

I hope you mean per hour, and not annum. =X

I just got a call from a client on behalf of their client and they wanted to renew the license for some music I did about a year ago.

My band Hush Hush Noise got awarded an "honourable mention" for this Indabamusic.com Featured Artist contest.  Kind of a half success since only the grand prize winner gets a feature on the site.  But hey, it's some recognition anyway.  The song is from our debut album which I hope to upload to bandcamp tomorrow.  Here's the song in question, for anyone curious:

The album version is slightly different, and won't have the weird mp3 compression their site adds to the streams (the higher frequencies sound a bit ugly).

is this the track that the radio is/was playing?

i can't access it i don't have facebook

Oh balls.  I didn't realize you needed facebook to view.  I guess since I mostly spam that stuff on my facebook page it makes sense no one's ever mentioned that.

It's a different song, same project.  This one's more watmm friendly imo.  The other one really does sound like a song that would play on a rock radio station heheh.  It's guitar-lickin' good.  The DJs are spoogin' all over it from what I've heard, which is cool.  I think if we had submitted any other song it would not have made it on air.  I still feel some weird guilt for having deliberately written a radio friendly song.  Seems kind of dirty... but I wasn't cynical about it or anything.  It was an experiment to see if I could make a song like that that I would still listen to, and it was a lot of fun to make.  Pretty fun to play too.

cool dude. hook us up with some soundclouds

I'll post the bandcamp link tomorrow when it's up.  Downloads will be free/pay-what-you-want.

Moving again and really didn't want to take my gigantic CD collection, which I no longer touch, with me.

Dumped it all in a 2nd hand record shop via cab and told them to call me with an offer when they've checked them all.

Called me back 2hrs later and offered me £500. I think he expected me to haggle or something. I went straight there and took the cash.

Dude was loving my collection, they were playing one of my CDs went I walked in lol.

^hope they're not on WATMM, they'll blow up the Most Recent CD Purchases thread.

i gave 600 books to charity last time i moved because i was fed up of lugging 15 binbags of books up 3 flights of stairs every year.

Yeah ugh, I've taken 6 boxes of records and another 6 of books with me and still left half my books in the old place (it's being condemned or something).

In the new place I intend to streamline even more. This is the 2nd time I've moved in 6 months and I'm done with trying to take it all with me.

books are the only physical I buy anymore. I think it'll probably stay that way.

ive amassed another 180 in the last 400 days. 

Clean wipe!
