I just went through some weird stuff with my performing rights organization that I thought I’d share just in case you’re a musician in a similar boat wanting to give your music away for non-commercial uses but expecting commercial users to pay the fees one would expect them to pay any other songwriter.

Yeah, not that kind of fan
I know it’s a bit odd to hear of a musician closing a fan page, but that’s just what I’m doing.

Life’s been crazy busy, so without further ado, here’s last week’s video demo a few days after the fact. I finished it & posted it on time, I just didn’t have a chance to blog it.
This one’s highly influenced by my son’s recent obsession with superheroes. He discovered Batman a few months ago and it was a life altering experience to say the least. So, in the interests of being able to communicate with my own flesh & blood I’ve taken it upon myself to learn far way more comic book trivia than one would ever need to know.
Needless to say, there was a song in there.

» Song Fu'd - Oh well, back to the drawing board «
Well, even though the polls are still open for another thirteen hours or so, it’s high time I dealt with reality and came to grips with the crushing blow that I will not be advancing to the next round of the Masters of Song Fu songwriting challenge. Let’s face it, I started in 5th place, I’m still in 5th place, the current leader has more than four times as many votes as I do; I’m pretty much screwed.
