Just this evening, I posted the first video from my record release concert last month. Yeah, this video stuff takes a long time to edit. The first song of the first set was “Broken Well”. Take a look (and listen) on my YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/jaymathesmusic. And here’s a direct link to the video page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFAJMaCtny0.

Also, my buddy, Nick, who shot all of the video in the studio for the documentary about the making of Fundamental posted some of the raw video on his channel. Here’s a link to the raw video (and audio) of the studio recording of “Broken Well”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLafZL7e5SM
Cheers! (and enjoy)

The Notebook, 2012, and a Goal

Let me start off by saying that I’ve totally blown a few of my new year resolutions. One of those was to write – music or lyrics – every day. Hasn’t happened. I’ve just lost the routine and now I am on a quest to find it again… Here, routinie, routinie, routinie… come here, boy. Wheredja go?….

Next, during the blizzard of 2011, Megan and I watched the movie 2012. Awful. I like Mr. Cusack, but this was bad. Two hours I can’t get back.
Finally, in addition to trying to get back on the horse called Resolution, I have a crazy goal of having one article printed in a newspaper, ezine, or other medium every-other week for the next 12 weeks. So far, so good. Here’s what we’ve had so far:
10 Jan 2011 – Chicago Sun-Times
18 Jan 2011 – Daily Herald
28 Jan 2011 – COD Courier
And next week (Wednesday), I’ll have a pretty big spread in the Lombardian.
After that, I’m not sure where the next coverage will come from, but I’m optimistic that I can keep this streak going!
Talk to you soon, and look for me in your local paper!
