free mp3 of the month: ‘spin around’
am I undisciplined? am I dilettante? schizophrenic? why can’t I just keep my nose to the grindstone like a good career man, keep pumping out versions of the same thing, over and over, day in and day out.
I mean, that way I wouldn’t alienate people, I wouldn’t wear them out with genre-hopping, they wouldn’t have to listen to types of music I have no business making.
but still I keep hopping around, trying different stuff, having fun with tracks that come my way and jumping on ideas I like, trying to create my own version or seeing what it means for me.
I love other singers, and I love to make my voice sound like other singers, like an actor trying on other roles. this month’s free mp3 of the month is a good example. I love me some strokes. I can’t help it.
again, it’s probably not how one builds a steady career. god knows I don’t have one. but if I don’t get to do the shit I want to do, to try whatever, then what is the point of all this?
I mean, besides making great art.
I want to do some of that too someday… guess I should get back to working on the new black lab record.
k. thanks for indulging me.
yours,
p

First, I love the new mp3 of the month. The main reason I like it is because it is so different. Although, as you noted, straying from one genre is not the best for stable production of chart-topping hits, your ability and desire to change sounds/genres makes your music a lot of fun.
In fact, I would go as far as to say that it would ROCK if you were to compile a CD with songs in different styles of various artists. They could even be covers, though I think it might be cooler if they were original songs. I am biased, and others may disagree, but I think it would be cool if you did a song in the style of Blue October (with a little electric violin action).
Sincerely,
James
That was wonderful!! Makes me wanna dance ‘The Swing’ I love your different genres. You do the ‘dark, love’ stuff so awesomely but, your talent is so wonderful. Don’t worry! You’re like Cyndi Lauper, you can sing ANYTHING and it is terrific. Thanks for all that you and Andy do!! XOXO ~Feral
I love that you don’t confine yourself to one sound, why sit in a hole when you can explore the world, right? Every time you release something new it’s like a journey to a new, amazing world, and the amount of creativity and work poured into each always shows in awesome way. The fact that you’re willing to experiment and have fun with it like you do makes you, in my opinion, one of the greatest artist of our time. Keep making awesome music!
