The myth of youtube's algorithm. Don't feed the cuckoo's

Dear creators: next time someone tells you the key to marketing is making a youtube video, consider this:
 
500 hours of content are uploaded to youtube every minute. Let that sink in.
 
Surviving an industry predicated on draining participants for funds means not feeding cuckoos.

Getting above the noise is hard. Even the Titans are begging you for your attention.

A quote attributed to Aleister Crowley is 'every man, every woman, is a star'.

Be excellent at your craft, have fun doing it, enjoy some self satisfaction from making stuff.

Expression is good. Empowering.

Just don't be too surprised if no one is listening, because everyone's talking :)

Do stuff cos you love it. The rest is too random to game :)

I havent put any of the gigs up on the main page recently cos COVID.

The situation is highly variable.

I cannot confirm any show at the moment, including this Sunday's show for the Sydney Blues Society.

For some reason, I am pretty chill about it. Yes we were really (really) looking forward to the shows.

and yet - Pandemic, right?

We knew this was/will be the thing from now until whenever. It be how it do.

It's a very weird reality, this timeline.

Meanwhile....New Songs! 

Also, uploading and sending the new album out needs attention. There are things to do. If we can't do what we were planning, we will cheerfully do something else.

Stay tuned, here or on socials. When I know what's what I'll post it.

Just did the upload, album will be out there shortly. Will take a few days for some online retailers. A little longer for others.

Will probably make a short run, limited CD's...do we even do those anymore?
