Prostitution is giving a service for money after all! It's like getting a haircut ... sorta ... :) @Jermaine -- You are signed on my music label, Zornog Records. I like your sound. Also, I was told about <a href="http://plugo.la" rel="nofollow">plugo.la</a> (by the plugola people themselves, no less), but it seems kinda buggy so far, and the site doesn't appear properly in Google Chrome, which, at this point, is the only browser to use anymore. <a href="http://www.bradsucks.net/" rel="nofollow">Brad Sucks</a> made his own online store and has it available to download for free on his site, but it requires an Amazon S3 account -- which is cheap, but not cheap enough for me yet. @Charlie -- Thank you, I do consider myself somewhat awesome. ;) We 100% must play a show here in Portland together! When are you going to be here? End of Marchish? @Laurie -- Yay, thank you! You are very sweet. :D @Andrew — I think what you mean to say is, there’s little difference between a hooker and the rest of business. Prostitution is giving a service for money after all!

I agree with you, it's really hard to know where musicians needs to be price-wise and how they are supposed to monetize their creative energies. But right now I kind of like the fact that you are available on a bunch of the websites for free streaming, that you offer a free track/album download occasionally. Gives people a chance to discover you for free, and if that has piqued their interest, they can explore you for some money. Now that I've said that, I've realized there is little difference between a musician and a hooker. I think what you are doing right now is a nice balance.
