What a crazy summer. That's the best way I can possibly describe it. Let's get the important stuff out of the way first.
If I take nothing away from the last few months, one thing will be certain. I will always be surrounded by people who care. If you're reading this now, odds are you're one of those people. For those who don't know, I was on the verge of leaving music, making about 6 years of school completely meaningless. The reason I decided to keep going, was all of you. You told me not to quit. Which means that you believe I'm pretty good at this whole singing thing. From here on in, the only way I'm going to give this up is if you say so.
Now here's the plan for the future.
It's time to promote my Black And White EP. The only way I'm going to do that is go out and play. If pulled some strings so I'll at least be able to go to open mic nights. More than likely I'll be at Red House Cafe and Funk N' Waffles. Either way, I start spreading the word in October. Hopefully, this leads to me getting on some local shows.
Speaking of EPs, after a bit of thought and writing, I do have another EP on the way. I'll begin fine tuning in within the next few months. Once I get some more money, I'm back to the studio again. I can't give away the name or anything yet. Let's just say that creating this round of songs was a scary process.
Finally, I think everyone will agree that I haven't done a YouTube video in a long fucking time. It's time to get back to what I do best. Here's what I had in mind.
"Stay Awhile" by Ryan Star
"It Must Have Been Love" by Roxette
"Snuff" by Slipknot
"Daniel" by Elton John
"Hero" by Foo Fighters
"Lightning Crashes" by Live
If you would like to add to the list, let me know what you want to hear.
You guys don't want me to quit. So I won't quit. I can't. This is what I love. Let October come...
Lessthanthree,
Doug
