In other news, I’m expanding the scope of this blog to be more of a journal for stuff besides music. Mainly, I expect this to cover whitewater kayaking, traveling and my upcoming move to Colorado (from New Jersey). But first, here’s a new (to you) song.

I don’t know how long this has been going on, but I’m working on fixing it now and will post when I have.

What has happened is that the joy has been sucked out of the process. So, I’m going to stop trying to make a living from music and hope that the joy comes back.

To that end, all my music is now available for free download on the audio page. In addition, I will be uploading a few new tracks in the coming weeks. If you listen and like what you hear, what I would like more than anything is your comments either here or through my contact page. Knowing that someone is out there on the other end would be greatly encouraging and inspiring to me.

Thanks. I feel better already.

(for me) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/JordanYaruss/~3/120778015/ http://jordanyaruss.com/2007/05/30/please-vote-for-me/#comments Wed, 30 May 2007 13:00:10 +0000 Jordan Yaruss General http://jordanyaruss.com/2007/05/30/please-vote-for-me/ My song, Back Home, is a top-10 finalist on OurStage.com! Now, fans vote by text message to decide the final ranking (and who will win fabulous prizes such as CA$H). Check out the top 10 here, and then vote for MEEEEEE!!!!

To vote for me, you have to send the text message “ROCK02″ to STAGE (78243), and they getcha for 50 cents, but if I win I will buy you a sandwich. I’m currently #5, and there haven’t been that many votes in the contest so far, so your vote really will make a big difference.

Oh, and you only have until tomorrow, so you have to do it right now! Thank you!

Just click audio up there in the banner. Or, if you are very, very lazy, click audio here in this sentence. I guess I have some sales, because the price of the album has skyrocketed to 69 cents!

At the moment, the whole album is 36 cents. As more people purchase it, the price goes up, so go NOW. You didn’t go. You’re still reading. Stop! Go!

Also, the tracks you download have no DRM and are in mp3 format. This is a good thing because it means you can play them back on any number of computers and any portable device, and can make copies for friends who are even bigger cheapskates than you, unlike tracks purchased from iTunes and most other online music stores.

Of course, hard copies of the CD are still available at CD Baby.

Still here, huh? Well, don’t blame me if the price has gone up to 37 cents by the time you get there!

Crap. Now this is a review! I think it’s safe to say that John Lane over there on thesmileshop.net gets my music. Thank you John!

It’s a pretty cool site, because reviewers know nothing about you except for the music they hear, and every song on there is guaranteed to get a whole bunch of reviews since you’re required to review 40 songs before you can upload one of your own.

At the moment, it’s at #17 out of almost 400 songs in the indie-rock genre. So far, it peaked at #6 and has been in the top 20 for weeks. Also, it was track of the day on October 16, track of the week for the week of November 27 and won an award for best keyboards in all genres! I’ve had other tracks on there, but none that have done quite so well.

Check it out and read the reviews here.
