To Musicians: Host Your Own Music

My guru in hippie capitalism, the great Derek Sivers, founder of CDbaby, shares his new idea. http://sivers.org/mhost And it’s a doozy. I hope he builds it so we can all hop on. CDbaby is dying without him, and he’s on to the future of musicians’ business. Whatever happens, we all would do well to at least get it together to have our master recordings backed up online, in a space that is our own. At least beyond, a MySpace or Cdbaby, or some such…

I HIGHLY recommend subscribing to his blog. It’s my #1.

Eric Biondo: Lost In A World Of Love – Single + B-side

Joshua Sitron — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 05:01:56 +0000

Eric Biondo and I layed down these two tracks in 2008 with some incredible musicians including Michael Leonhart (Steely Dan) on trumpet, Rob Jost (Imogen Heap, SNL) on bass, Grey McMurray (Knights On Earth, Beyondo) on guitar and Nick Movshon (Amy Winehouse, Dap Kings, Antibalas, Phenomenal Handclap Band) on Drums. Also, the singular voice of Stephonik background vocals. I co-produced the track with Biondo, played some guitar and organ, recorded and mixed. Cover Art by Lisa Creagh.

It’s a more serious side of Biondo. If you like Philly Soul, Burt Bacharach, Tears for Fears, Steely Dan, 70′s R&B, check these tracks out.
