Crown on the Ground (Sleigh Bells) makes me happy on so many levels and not just because the singer’s name is Alexis and she rocks. hard.

permalink Looking back at FASP

While looking for a picture for a blog post about the FASP program at Emerson College, I  came across this article.  No doubt the program had a lasting impact on many of us.

permalink Cutting the Cord

“… the studio I no longer dance in, costumes and clothes I no longer wear, neighborhood spots I no longer frequent.  These things all feel like umbilical chords to a life and lifestyle no longer relevant to my experience and I have been increasingly ready to cut loose. So I did.”

They didn’t listen to all those people telling them ‘just 2 guitars’ will never work

  • A team of 2!
  • No outside money (with todays technology that’s not so uncommon, but they did it before 2000).
  • Just 2 guitars, underdoing the competition
  • Passion
  • Constraints: no money, no other instruments
  • They hired the right audience and focused solely on them
  • Their music is opinionated
  • Race to live music/testing in the wild, composing a song and immediately playing it at the street.

SEC watch is the fourth or fifth business that I tried to start. I’d get home after my day job and program all night, be exhausted when I went in the next day. But I kept going. It was an iterative process, and I definitely learned a lot from each business. I’m really proud I kept going.
