July demo: Waste of TV [5 MB]
This is track #7 on the little album I’ve been slowly putting demos up for. Also as a bonus experiment, there’s an album page and a tentative title for it now: Guess Who’s a Mess.
I’m not sure what else to do with that page, anyone have any ideas?
The obvious one everyone suggests to me is funding/donations or pre-orders. I’m iffy on that. Mostly I don’t want to owe anyone anything creatively (aka I may flake out). And the money I’d get isn’t going to make or break the production so it feels pointless.
So what’s left? Attention and collaboration/contributions?

I’d be down for a collab.

I like it.
It still sounds like a demo more so than some of your other recent tracks, but I reckon a little constructive criticism, some soul searching, a hint of crippling self-doubt and a nice cup of tea will transform this into a hit single.

I like it .. lots of potential, and I’ve heard songs from other artists that were not supposed to be “demos” and sounded way worse :)
As for the site : ask for user-made *promotional” videos ( as in “to promote the song, and not their stupid WoW character or their stupid sailboat ;)?

Yeah, call for user-made videos, artwork, sound fx and anything else related in some way to the album and see what happens. Could be interesting.

I agree that the album page is asking for user-made content. But so far as what you can add, I think some making-of stuff would go great in that space, plus I’m sure it’ll just flesh out over time as the album develops.

Yeah, could have some form of album art contest maybe something along the lines of your ‘Fake It’ video. You wouldn’t have to use any, but you might get a few good ones or you could combine all submission and make a collage out of them for the album cover, or just throw a few in on the lyric book thing that accompanies an album. Possibilities are endless! I like the ideas of the guys above me too.
P.S. Please add ‘Tell Me Something I Don’t Know’ to the next album, pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaassssssssseeeeeee braddddddddd!

Nice tune, I’m hearing the theme/concept so far. If you’re going to call the album “Guess Who’s a Mess”, maybe you could have people send in photos of themselves and put everyone’s and your photos on the cover in a sort of collage so people could ….wait for it….”Guess Who’s a Mess?”, a Where’s Waldo kinda thing. I also just woke up so it’s may be not as good as I think right now…

Wow. This is an amazing song already; probably one of my new favorites.

Nice stuff. Like it a lot on first listen, figure it’s only going to sound better with time.

Want to see if this is up Brad’s alley…Since the Demo project is ongoing, I wanted to see if Brad would do a cover of Q Lazzarus, “Goodbye Horses”. Clerks 2..Jay and Silent Bob hit the nail on the head with the Buffalo Bill dance and quite frankly the song is pretty catching! Well it’s just a request but would love to see Brad do a cover of it. The Heart and Soul cover rocked!

Brad. Come on. Ditch the guitar riff, because the vocals alone are absolutely great. You’re showing some absolute brilliance here, then you go and discount the whole endeavour with the Nirvana bit.
