[Pt.2] Debut EP: "Leavin' Harbour" launch

So it's been almost three weeks since launching my music pageand not even close to a quarter of my Facebook friends have shown support in my passion for music so far. This has left me feeling somewhat dumbstruck. For what I've lost in sleep, sharing online all these burdensome/lucid recordings and lyrics/poetry, etc. freely throughout the months, it STILL isn't enough to be shown substantial appreciation (a little encouragement for when I eventually move onto better things)? Give me a break! Lord knows I need it.

Understandably, not everyone's gonna go "Liking" my page straight away (due to the incoherent nature of a social network for one), but the weighty "artists/songs I owe my life to" series (posting separately two mainstream music videos daily from my "bricks & mortar" artists--and with annotations), that I carried out over the past week, ought to have given enough exposure to my new music page--and in particular what I've currently been trying to promote throughout September, my improvised debut EP Leavin' Harbour... Two Years to the Month. I'd describe it as a tasteful alternative electric/acoustic guitar player for ANYONE to enjoy (and the quality's not that bad either). Listen to it and tell me that there isn't at least one track you liked. Now this is the kind of music I enjoy playing, in an ideal world - not too heavy; not too poppy - but somewhere in-between. Surely no honest muso would choose to thus ignore my page? We're in the same boat together!

Including my "Raw & Mixed" series, the recordings I share online may not be marketable songs as they are, but jeez... at least I've got the guts to share them for what they are! It's all very personal to me, you see. And it's not like I'm hiding away in someone else's light, pushing covers, like many aspiring artists. But I guess that saying "no one gives a fuck unless you're dead" really isn't just hearsay after all, huh. Now excuse me while I go jump off a bridge. Now the epiphany here is: am I too far gone to be making proper sense or are you too far gone for not being able to understand? Huh, talk about inception...

Perhaps there's concern that, as an ex-student, I'm making a mockery of dBs Music with its manufactured values--because I tend to record and upload guitar improvisations using a mere Dictaphone, instead of professionally recorded compositions? Though it's not a commercial product I'm trying to pass this off as! All I'm after is some reassurance and an audience that's unconcerned with a polished sound/image. But for the most part, I'm feeling ignored here! Not every young aspiring musician or artist has the money/support they need to get really anywhere. So we're just left on the fence (often hung out to dry in some mundane surrounding) while STILL trying to convince our families that music is a passion we yearn to pursue as a hopeful career (whatever's left of the music industry, that is). I've missed the Higher Education boat for a second year, due to uncertainties and local issues, but I can't be alone in this line of thinking, surely?
