Hell yeah man, good stuff! If you do end up putting your stuff on the streaming services, don't forget about all the stuff you gotta do to collect royalties, this is what's holding me back from releasing my music lol

No problem! Looks like you've already got a few fans here!

It blows my mind that anyone would be interested. I’ve spent 25 years doing this quietly and barely showing anyone. Most of these are old enough to drink haha.

It’s a good feeling.

I dig it, kinda got an Iron + Wine/early Radiohead feel. But yeah, you never know who's gonna be into your music unless you put it out there! I made a post a few weeks ago on the various "AskLemmy" comms, asking if it was cool to promote a little bit here, everyone seemed cool with it, so when I can scrounge up the cash for the things on that list I linked, I'm gonna be posting stuff here too lol

Well hey, promote your music to me please.

I know this is sacrilege, but I was always a big fan of the hits from Radiohead. Iron and wine, endless numbered days, I think is the name of the record I have had sitting on the shelf for like 20 years, man. That had a huge impact on me.

I appreciate you listening. I mean it. Bigger than I could ever express in a comment.
