What's after 'The future isn't what it used to be.'
Hello dear humans,
As most of you surely know, The future isn't what it used to be., my very own debut album is finally, 100%, entirely, completely, thoroughly, wholly, totally, comprehensively, unquestionably released for you all to hear, front to back.
Please help me share it with the world—may it find many friendly ears on the heads of wonderful humans like you!
Among my favorite things about sharing music and songs is the conversations we have about them. Please join my email newsletter and send me with your reactions, curiosities, and whatever comes up for you.
Ways to support independent music
If you enjoy the record and would like to monetarily support my music, for now the best way is simply buying the album (so you own it forever—no subscription attached). For most people, the best place for that is still Bandcamp—unless you're a member of Subvert.fm[1] (ahead of its public launch); there, artists earn more per purchase and members pay less for many releases, including mine.
What about physical media?
If you would like to own a physical object commemorating the album, please share your thoughts on some ideas I'm considering:
- I would love to some day produce a physical music format like a vinyl record,
- but it could be less costly to produce something less traditional, like an art object with liner notes and QR code to access/redownload the record.
- How much would you be willing to pay for particular options?
In order to produce anything physical, I first need to research and verify that the demand is there. Let me know.
What's after The future isn't what it used to be.
Now that the record is released...
- I still have some ideas for making it even more special, which will need time, but I hope to share more soon. (Let me know what you'd like to see from me.)
- I'll likely slow the pace a bit with my newsletters.
- I'll also take my time with the rest of the Q&A video series.
- I'm looking forward to getting back to work on my next wave of backlogged songs, too, but that won't be right away.

[1] Subvert.fm is our nascent music marketplace, cooperatively owned by our artist and supporter members, so no opportunistic private corporation will ever acquire and disenfranchise our community. Subvert plans very soon to open publicly to non-members, so now is a great time to learn more about it and consider becoming a founding cooperative member!
