It’s 1998, I’m uploading my music to a new Online Music Distributor.
It’s 2001, I’m uploading my music to a new Online Music Distributor.

It’s 2010, I’m uploading my music to a new Online Music Distributor.
It’s 2014, I’m uploading my music to a new Online Music Distributor.
It’s 2026, I’m uploading my music to a new Online Music Distributor.

This time, it’s a co-operative model so you can now get, as of this posting, my 5 most recent nerdcore albums at my Subvert page. I am hoping it works. While Distrokid and Bandcamp have largely avoid the worst of changing hands repeatedly, and Bandcamp especially has continued to be the longest running and most reliable source of funding for my little hobby (that some how has left me having had collaborated with people who toured world and came with a hair’s breadth of getting a Grammy, as well as, of course and more importantly, finding the love of my life,) nonetheless, I would love if something in this space lasted forever without eventually burning its founding artists. It was disheartening to have constantly shift homes in the era of mp3, amp3 and ampcast, so much so, I was loathed to invest as I should in social media as it came up, and that was a lasting mistake.

So, hopefully, the next many weeks of trying to throw 1-5 back-catalog releases up each day is the last time I have to revisit this, barring some new thing that actually does the simple job of getting audio files to listeners even better.
