The Constant by Story of the Year

In Music on 16 February 2010 tagged CD, Story of the Year with no comments

I’ve been listening to Story of the Year‘s latest album, “The Constant,” for the past week. They’ve made it accessible through their Myspace for the last week or so.

Now, it’s officially out.

I won’t lie. I really dig it.

My band, The Scarlet Paradigm, just released the digital download for our first EP, “You Don’t Need This…”

Visiting a band’s website

In Music, Polls on 6 January 2010 with 4 comments

Can you help me brainstorm in regards to the direction for The Scarlet Paradigm website?

Other than upcoming shows and links to our other online pages, we don’t have lots of content (yet).

I’d like for us to post creative stuff (e.g. short videos, random artwork) to fill in gaps between the shows. Without that, it feels pointless to spend time or money¹ on a Flash intro page or website.

I could just make a simple intro page with a random image script. But, I think an intro page is a waste — it’s one extra click.

Ultimately, we (the band) need to talk about what we want on the website. But, I’d like to bring data to the guys — and that’s where you can help:

We don’t have money. Boo. ↩

Thanks!

Update 9/20/2009 — Ugly Ape will be playing the last set for the night. Nice.

Finding new music

In Music, Polls on 4 September 2009 with 3 comments

I find new music by listening to Pandora Radio (via Pandora.FM) or Last.fm, going to concerts, and by word-of-mouth.

I first heard Anberlin years ago when attending a Finch concert. (Or was it Story of the Year?)

Lagwagon, Weezer, Blink 182, Thrice, Glassjaw…all through friends.

Lastly, I think I heard Norma Jean and Haste The Day through Pandora Radio.

So, why do I want to know how you find new music to listen to?

I’m in a band (The Scarlet Paradigm) and we’d like more exposure. I know it’s not clear cut and simple. But, it’ll help us figure out what to focus on when we talk about our future as a band.

If you have additional comments on how to go about this, speak out in the comment form after you vote.

Of course, if you like what you hear at our website, please tell some friends — we could use the encouragement and additional ears. Thanks!
