It’s Good New’s Week, well you can dream can’t you? I know I certainly do every time I go to write this and then am reminded of all the things that haven’t gone so well. This past month it’s been kind of…so…so…
Here’s The Run Down:
Mailouts – dismal failure this month, if bad karma exists it certainly occurred after the last great news of going well…and was down almost instantly and has been for the month while further matters were investigated in the name of Google and Gmail. I’d say maybe 2% of our mail are Gmail email’s and as far as I knew very few of them are Google mail if any. Regardless we received notification from Google that we’d had our mail blocked. As usual, it’s very difficult to find out who’s done it and why it’s occurred. The final information we’ve been provided with is that some people who have business domains host their mail with a Google account, (I still don’t know anything about it because as far as I know, domains come with their own email accounts with the hosting company). Which suggests Google have an expanded business base. Regardless that led to no mail going out and I haven’t had time to resolve it although it shouldn’t take long.
Fact is, once back in track production it requires full concentration which is what it was given and the first track started way back when? is complete. Obviously, I’m really happy about that so it tends to disengage my negative thoughts about what’s going on with email.
Good new’s.
The second track Guitar Man has commenced production and while really only just starting to develop a sound for the track (which happens to be one of my favorite lyrical/vocal tracks) I think it’s going to go okay. As usual, the music always seems to turn out different to how I imagine it but at the same time gives a life to the track that I never expected when I first started contemplating them.
For anyone eager to experience some of the sounds and cuts that have been sampled online, I recently updated Lipcrack’s You Tube page:
https://www.youtube.com/user/Lipcrack/videos
Again, some of the gear I bought a while back allows for some video backing and for the most part at this stage Lipcrack are going to utilize that in updates, obviously there are no full tracks there yet, but it was fun to put some new life into that page and I look forward to continuing that when possible.
As far as Social Welfare goes, I’m still not getting any, or income from anything else, so as usual it’s very disappointing to be in that kind of situation and hearings dates in relation to the matters are spotted over the next few calendar months. Realistically my hearts set on getting another EP out which basically means I’m going to have to walk away from it regardless because it’s impossible to stay focused and abide in all aspects of getting a welfare payment. Previously it wasn’t, so again it’s disappointing that things are moving to a more dysfunctional than a functional state of being.
That’s it for now, I’ll take a quick look at email out’s in the following week some time if there are problems it can wait till the next track is complete which usually takes at least one month.
Have a great month, enjoy the latest photo update and see you soon…..
