Got another payment from CDBABY. My music has been literally flying off the shelves and the digital download side of things has become a nice little earner. OK – before I could only afford a couple of packets of replacement guitar strings a year with my earnings, but now I can buy those and perhaps some bass strings and some customised picks with my name on. Whoo-hoo! I have arrived. But seriously, every quarter the money is increasing. This surprises me because I am a nobody and I keep wondering to myself what I could achieve if I attempted to become a somebody. The Missus says I need to get some more music out there pronto. She is absolutely right, as per usual.
I also managed to get one of my tunes played on the radio. It was real radio, none of that Internet rubbish. It was the Iain Lee Show on LBC 97.3 and you can hear it if you buy today’s podcast. I was credited as “Darren from The Loughton”. Hearing my own music (albeit in a cut-down and modified manner to fit in with the humour of the radio station) was quite thrilling and the production sounding so flipping good. I actually blushed with embarrassment when The Missus cheered when it was over. Iain Lee said it was brilliant on his show and actually said it was “genius” in an email back to me. Quick – widen the doors, my head is beginning to swell…
