Branching out (new places to listen)

For a while now I've been kind of negligent in putting my stuff out there for people to listen to. I guess I was afraid that if I let people listen to all of my music for free, that they would never want to buy it.

Well, Reddit taught me otherwise. Since putting both of my albums up on Bandcamp, I've had several generous fans give me quite a bit more than the asking price for either a track or an entire album. When they can already listen to everything for free. That blew my mind. And changed how I felt about putting my songs out there.

So, now I'm trying to get my music on as many free radio-type sites as I can. Especially the big ones. Today, I spent several hours uploading and processing everything for Grooveshark and last.fm. Grooveshark in particular, because it lets you add everything to your playlist directly, and completely control the flow.

So, if you use either of those sites, my stuff is up there now. I'm not going to have much of a presence until I get some plays, though, so listen away!
