Our Christmas Song And The Six Month Debrief...

, ,

This whole "Year of the Groove" is certainly giving us a run for our money and this last month is no exception.  Can we just debrief for a moment? 

Our September release "The Legend of the Fall" ended up being used to help promote awareness about the labeling initiative for genetically modified foods.  This happened after we were contacted by the Oregon Right to Know organization before the November election.  I hadn't planned on any of that happening but was extremely happy to use our song for an issue that was so important for me, so I put a lot of time into creating WGC branded social media content for both Oregon Right to Know and Right to Know Colorado.  That took me right up to when I was also working on the video for Supermodel Astronaut...

The Story Behind The Legend of the Fall

Anyone who has known me for any length of time most likely knows that I am staunchly opposed to the practice of putting genetically modified food into the mainstream food supply without the consumer's knowledge.  I'm so passionate about it, at the advice of a friend, I started a Facebook page called "Don't Put That In Your Mouth" where I had a place to channel my righteous anger over the situation.  [I've not been nearly as attentive to that page since the Year of the Groove has started simply due to limited time, but my heart is still very much in this topic.]

How much is music worth? See our royalty statement.

If you found out that you had gotten over 72K plays in a 3 month period for music you had released 7 years ago, you'd think that was pretty good, right? 

I'm going to do this from time to time just so people can see what streaming music pays the songwriters.  Here is one section of our first quarter royalty statement from 2014, it covers 3 months.  Based on this section of the statement, 72,098 plays paid $4.82*. That is .00006685 cents PER PLAY.

The Story Behind Kiss Me Slow [with a lot of back story]

, ,

I've shared in a video on YouTube about how we arrived at the musical direction things have moved in since our Chillodesiac Lounge, vol. 1: Fever release in 2007.  I'll recap here in case you missed the video.   If you already know the story, you can skim down…
