Hey Brian Brain,

This is really cool.

Congrats on your debut.

I went to Spotify and listened.

Sounds like you have arrived, in kind of an f...... up way, with all those f......up songs, and f.....up lyrics.

KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really man, congrats to you.

B.D.,

Congratulations on the release of your album.
I listened to "Fight For Your Rights" again, and it's a very pop song.
Actually, all of your songs have pop melodies.
I hope you can gain many followers.
By the way, I'm writing songs for Whiskey.

Best regards.

Thank you, Tom, for your kind and encouraging words.
Touching lives is the greatest thing you can achieve with music or art in general.
That's what I want to achieve one day.

When I joined here, I NEVER thought I would ever finish a full album.
But it's people like you and all the others who inspire me.
I try to learn something from every song I comment on.

You now have one more follower!

The album sounds good.

The production on all the songs sound cohesive in dynamics.
Spotify is always going to use their algorithms to raise and lower the gain to their liking.
But as alluded to maintaining the dynamics is a sign of excellent mixing.

Income? 10,000 streaming plays has earned us a whopping $38. smile

Well done!

Thank you, Brad, for your encouraging words.
Yep, our music is different, but it still connects us.
That's what it's all about.

Good luck on your album.

Hi Brian,

Good show on the album! I have a Spotify account and added you to the list of artists I follow. I haven't listened to your album yet, but I saved it and will listen later.

If your friend is earning enough to buy a beer a day he is doing pretty good! I've found we do *way* better on YouTube than we do on Spotify as far as listens go, no idea why.

Best of luck!

Yes, we're all incredibly small fish in an incredibly big pond.
Nevertheless, creating music (or art in general) is one of the most satisfying things for me.

Double thanks for the feedback on the album as a whole.
The album (and the individual songs) are not mastered, but of course I always try to have a similar sound (...if the songs are in a similar genre, of course), so it's good to hear that I didn't mess it up.

Thanks, Dave.
I think on Spotify, if(!) you end up in a good playlist, you'll get a few listens, but without that, there's literally nothing.
On YouTube, your newly uploaded video will be suggested to other users for a while, and even if you're an unknown, you'll get some exposure to potential fans. And a good video supporting the song doesn't hurt either.

Hi Brain,

You must know by now that I love the songs you make. I mostly respond on YouTube to you.
As I know, I've also subscribed to your site and listened to a lot of your songs. They are great, in every aspect..
And I also a wine lover (and sometimes a small rum). But snobery?
But now that I think about it... you haven't subscribed to my Birchwood page.
And did you do that to Marty? He has only a few after all these years.
How can we become famous when things go this slow...
But I'm happy you have a great album. And please, continue making those intriquing songs...

Hans

Thank you Hans for your kind comment and feedback.
I've been subscribed to your YouTube page for about a year (along with Marty, Blue Attitude, Bud, and anyone else I could find), but I keep my subscriptions private so you can't see who's subscribed.
But, when I think about it, I could also subscribe with my newly formed band and THAT would be visible to you.
And then you get twice as much money from YouTube grin
