Matt’s Blog

Well I did it again.

Got all worked up about being a blogger.

I was supposed to have one for my fake band, one for real, one for discussing uhh “relationships”? And another one just for jamming pure fiction. I barely made a dozen posts between them. What was I thinking?

I need to work at this thing.

The writing part I’m fine with it’s just . . . regulating it that frustrates me – I see the value of blogging, letting people see what youre thinking out loud if they care, and uhm packaging that product – but that is if I have some blog  I never write then its of no value. So as you can see, I think I’m gonna try and start with the one blog and see what I can do.

It’s just my audiences! Alot of people  followed the bulletins I sent out for my fake band  reality compound. I’ve collected over 300,000 words of bulletins between Oct 2005 and March 2007 – i bulletined them considering that oe day I might put the manuscript together into something. I guess I still will do something. But it became obvious that mysapce was too restrictive for what I was attempting. I needed to get stuck into internet TV to keep pushing the boundaries.

Blogging on myspace on the changes in the music industry has actually been a really useful way to underline my credibility and now that I am running a successful business supporting recording artists in almost all aspects oftheir promotion it’s kind of a hard thing to let up on. It feels good to be good at something thats good to be good at. Heh.

I’ve got lots of ideas. People are pretty fascinated with sex and relationships so thats pretty fascinating in itself. It entertains them; I like to provide entertainment. I like building characters and narratives, I’ve always known that writing was something I was going to get into as I got older, and I’m not getting any younger. But I still  enjoy making  smooth beats and promoting gigs and I will keep doing it as long as I still enjoy it and am able to do it.

Building my business as it expands rapidly on top of my music commitments takes up most of my time. Whatever I’m trying to say I guess right now I’m just trying to force myself into the habit of saying it!

Cheers, Matt
