Hello there. I thought I’d take a moment to update you on the status of this blog and to remind you of all the easy ways you can access my music for free.
Recent Maintenance
I have been putting quite a lot of hours into improving the user experience recently, managing to fix quite a few format issues. I’m afraid the site still looks a bit ugly on IE6, but it should be usable on most browsers now. Let me know of any issues.
I am also in the intitial stages of setting up an online shop. All my music will still be available to download for free on this site, but I am introducing an option to pay (a few cents) for higher quality downloads with high resolution artwork, pdf lyrics and more. The implementation process is taking time (and money), because I am making sure that the system is completely secure before I go live. Expect further posts about this.
Get my music for free as it released
Despite having put so much work into the look and functionality of the site itself, the easiest way for you to get my music (and for me to give it to you) is through one of my feeds. You can subscribe in itunes, subscribe in something like (but not actually) itunes, subscribe to the blog or subscribe to the mailing list.
Note that all of these will deliver the same content; a regular drip of free songs, and access to every song I have uploaded.
2011 was a good year for the songfeed; I launched the podcast, which is now accounting for a lot of my traffic; I diversified a bit, uploading some comic book scripts and and article or two; I dramatically improved the layout of the site, and released a load of new recordings. What’s more, I picked up a few regular visitors and subscribers. Fingers crossed for 2012…
In more general news, work on the next big recording project is going on right now. I am very proud of the material and am very very excited about getting drums down and layering up some epic guitar. Expect rock, and expect it this year! Until then, remember that there will be new acoustic numbers going online fortnightly.
As always, thanks for paying attention and thanks to everyone who shares my work through social media; it makes a huge difference!
Until next time,
Andrzej Stepien AKA Trembling Jack Luster
I thought I’d start posting little snippets and obscurities inbetween the main download posts. I promise not to shout about these ones quite so much.
