Did you know it would take over 30,000 streams for an artist to earn as much money as they do from one album sale on their website? You can check my math. Just purchase my new album and then go stream it 30,000 times! blanketorchestra.com/album/374801...

This is my new band. Give them a follow, please, and if you're so inclined, pick up our new album on Bandcamp or on our website blanketorchestra.com

Reviews are pouring in! Firstly, my niece did the drawing on the cover so that's not the burn you think it is. Secondly, I'm 44, ease up on the "gramps" stuff. Thirdly, telling a musician they suck is redundant. I say it every day and since the album released this weekend, I've done two remixes.

How did David Wright become a voting member of the writer's union?
Ballot #5 is from a voter who wishes to remain anonymous. As a refresher, we are unable to report adds or drops, if any, on anonymous ballots.

This is the first ever known David Wright-only ballot. There will not be a unanimous inductee this year.

I've never wanted a band t-shirt more in my life.

This album was released on my label/business and some of the business' profits are going towards completing a mobile recording studio so students can record real songs with other students and alongside professional musicians. Give it a listen and if you like it, consider a purchase! Thanks!
Our new Christmas album is now live on our site! Purchase a copy before it hits streamers and help support a new party/event band who want to make a lot more cover albums!

Listen to a sample from the Christmas album I've been working on with my new band. I think this one turned out really nicely.

I'm mixing a song for the new @blanketorchestra.com Christmas album and I have a phantom snare that doesn't seem associated with a track and when the snare track is muted, it keeps going. I'm sure it's a weird effect chain but I can't figure this out. So, the album opener may be snare heavy.

Our debut album is being released by @microbrewmusic.xyz in one week!

The new #Beatles Anthology is largely pointless for a die-hard who has the bulk of these recordings already (and especially to someone who doesn't like the Threetles remixes) but there are some good little bits and it gave me an excuse to listen to the Something strings again which are beautiful.

Call me crazy but I'm starting to think this AI stuff isn't fully baked but "smart" investors have dumped so much money into its future that they're forcing defective products on the market in order to recoup funds regardless of the quality or demand. But maybe I'm just not smart enough to get it.

So the program that says it's ok to eat rocks is going to do your taxes now? What could go wrong?
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

As we get into the holiday season, it's the perfect time to support your favorite indie creators and artists!

Buy something from them, leave a review, or boost their promo posts. Everything helps, and they'll appreciate it more than a big corporation.

My new band, The Blanket Orchestra, is working on a Christmas album at the moment (I know, it's last minute but we're all working musicians) and it's going to be pretty pretty pretty good. Give my label @microbrewmusic.xyz a follow to stay in the loop of future releases and shows!

Celebration is playing in a hospital waiting room right now. Part of me got nostalgic for my days as an A's fan but then part of me thought, "shouldn't an OR waiting room have a more somber vibe"?
