the johnnie squizzercrow experiment / Blog
a question if we may...
We've got another of our dubs to put up here this week. They, as you can hear in the playlist to the right, are lovely little ditties but the question we have to ask is whether they should be placed under a different, dedicated, RN account. Certainly they will be released (early next spring) using a slightly different band name so should we do the same here?
Thanks for any responses ;-)

scare your friends this all hallows eve
you can now carry johnnie round with you and show him off to all your friends by buying the t-shirt in the reverb store ;-)
yeah, I know, its too late - but christmas is just round the corner!
уликэтъат
quite a few folk have been commenting on уликэтъат - what does it mean? how do you pronounce it and stuff like that.
The story behind it is quite boring - it had a rather mundane title and one night, by accident, I cut and pasted it into a document which, for some reason, had been set to default to cyrillic!
So the answer is its a much prettier looking presentation of ulikethat.
squizzercrow reverb refresh
On monday next we're going to update the songs on our reverbnation profile. Some old will go, some new will arrive and others will have updated mixes/structures posted. Hopefully, you'll find something in there you like!
I do this with a tinge of trepidation as I understand my play count will drop for each one I delete and I think that, of all my stats, is the one I feel really proud of!
Still! Onwards and Upwards!
Happy weekend everyone!

messaging problems
don't know whether they are - could just be my inability to work the new control room but got a query in on it anyway!
truth is I get email notifications that someones contacted me but less than a third of them show up in messages. so, if you've contacted me and I haven't replied, then that's why! hopefully either the control room or me will be sorted soon!

another great day - thanks to y'all!
spent today catching up with correspondence and listening to new music on myspace and here on RN. its been a good'un, we have a very wide and eclectic taste in music and its rare that we come across a profile without something to admire!
so thanks to y'all for your gift of music - keep it coming!

We will manage to catch up soon and listen to some more of friends great music whilst discovering some wonderful new music!

Today's the day....
....that keith hits all major online download stores. Although the 4 songs on keith exist here the reverbnation versions are earlier candidates and are lacking somewhat compared with the release versions.
I'm not expecting to be deluged in sales but is anyone does buy it then thank you very much :-)

Wow!
Just spotted that I've passed 4000 plays in the 3 months I've been here, That's incredible given I never thought others would appreciate what I really want to do rather what I have so often compromised in previous bands!
Makes it all worthwhile!
Just do it and I really thank y'all!

One of those in between periods...
I keep listening back to "old" stuff. Materials that been collecting dust since I tired of it and moved on at some stage over the past few year. Buckets full of the stuff!
Some of it is garbage. Straight in one ear and out onto an archive DVD. Some of it is earlier versions of stuff. Interesting, but hey, archive again!
The really frustrating stuff is the material where I think "a bit of work and I'd be happy with that" but there's too much of it and I don't know where to start!
Some changes would be quite minor, others would require re-doing large portions of the song and I have a real dilemma in that I'm a "when it starts to need thinking about its finished" sort of guy.
Oh well, lets hope I live to 100 and never have a new creative idea during those years. That way I may have time to revisit it else you gonna have to wait for some kind of retrospective collection ;-)
Night people.
