Here’s what my next CD will look like:

Since I’ve been going geo-crazy lately, here are some data pictures (wheee!!):
subscriber locations
Red markers for anyone who subscribed and entered their location in the past couple of days.
album sale locations
Blue markers for a couple years of album sale data.
subscribers and album sale locations
Not shown: Antarctica — not big fans of mine apparently.
If you want to stand up and be counted, you can sign up on the Live page.
Now, if you would like to, you can mark down your location on the Brad Sucks Live page so I can hassle you if I happen to be playing in your area (scroll down to the map).
It’s something I’ve been wanting to build for a while — a replacement/alternative for Eventful.com and it was pretty easy with Google Maps.
Eventful’s nice and I’ll continue to use it, but since it doesn’t give the artists access to their subscriber’s email addresses it’s a lock-in bullshit proposition and I can’t fully trust it.
I’m now also asking new mailing list subscribers to mark down their location and will be doing so for new BFF members as soon as I get around to it. It’s all optional of course — I know giving out locations creeps some people out, but think about how traveling to another city and nobody coming to my show creeps me out.
In preparation for the new album release I’ve re-vamped all the music/store sections on the site. I’ll spare you the boring tech details but it was A LOT OF WORK. Here’s some of the new stuff:
There are probably plenty of bugs (please let me know) but good lord am I glad that’s over with. Did Prince have to write his own storefronts?
I get this sort of message all the time on MySpace:
Making Me Nervous won’t play when I add it to my profile
I just discovered you (thanks pandora. com!!!) and I want my friends to hear how awesome this song is. I see from your comments other people have had the same problem… can you fix it?
I searched all over and I can see lots of people successfully have added my songs to their pages and couldn’t find any info on why it might be failing in some cases. Does anyone know what the issue is?
A while back I asked for some backing vocals to put on the title track of my next album. The mix is just about done and here are the folks whose vocals got included:
SexyJosh, Eric Peterson, Badcactus, Jeff Fal, Jonathan Coulton, Katherine Glover, Anti-M and Justin Bacon.
I’ll be trying to track you down soon for your real name and/or address for the liner notes and album shipping but if you happen to see this, please drop me a line. Thanks to everyone for participating!
The show last night went just fine, thanks to everyone who came out and to everyone who was just there.
Doing live shows these days is strange. I’m not sure what to expect anymore. Some highlights:
So who knows.
I guess my song Making Me Nervous is being used in this Stop the Spying video put together by People For the American Way and the Electronic Frontier Foundation:
That’s super cool. Good luck, Americans! (Thanks, Justin!)
