Elevator Pitch

I signed up to participate in the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog challenge, and the first task is to develop an elevator pitch for this blog.

Here it goes!

UPDATED ON 4/7/2009 at 8 AM:

Cryns.com is my band’s website and blog. It features:

  • guitar lessons
  • discussions
  • video journals
  • daily blog entries
  • responses to questions and comments
  • free mp3 downloads
  • tour photos
  • tour dates
  • It provides a variety of ways for me to connect with you.

This website is the FIRST place that my MP3s are released and that news is announced. If you want to stay on top of all the exciting stuff going on around my band, then you need to visit Cryns.com.

UPDATED ON 4/6/2009 at 10:20 AM: Cryns.com is where I go to connect with friends and fans of my music. I share updates about my musical journey, and friends & fans share their ideas and thoughts in return. It features guitar lessons, video journals, daily blog entries, free downloads, and also tour photos. Basically, it gives us all an excuse to get together and share ideas online.

Cryns.com is a place where friends and fans of my music go to get updates about where my musical journey has taken me. It features guitar lessons, video journals, daily blog entries, free downloads, and also tour photos. AND it also provides an avenue for me to get to stay in touch with friends and fans via blog comments and emails. Basically, it gives us all an excuse to get together online.

What do you think? How would you improve it?

Thanks!

Vinyl Makes a Resurgence!

I met up with Perfect Porridge‘s Greg Swan yesterday to help him upgrade some website software, but the conversation quickly turned to other matters. One item that peaked my interest was a combination cd/vinyl product that Greg noticed a band using. Basically, it is a cd on one side and a record on the other. “Brilliant!” I thought! But, of course, I don’t own a record player. In fact, I don’t own a working cd player at the moment either. But the record holds a certain allure for me and countless other music fans. In fact, vinyl record sales rose over 15% between 2006-2007, and vinyl record sales rose a whopping 36% in 2007-2008! Meanwhile, cd sales dropped 11% during the same timeframe.

So, what does this mean for us? I don’t know, but it sure would be fun to make a vinyl record. The question is, would any of you buy it?

Help Me Mix My New Record! Feedback Needed!

I just realized that I forgot to attach the “2 Sisters” mp3 from yesterday’s post. That’s okay, though, because I am attaching it to this post…AND MORE!!!

I need your help. We are in the process of deciding on a final mix for our new record and would love to hear your feedback on the work we have done to date. Please download/stream/play the mp3s below and listen to them in your stereo of choice. THEN, let me know how the mix is. For example, tell me if the drums are buried, if the bass is too loud, if my vocals are not loud enough, etc. Send feedback either via email, phone, or via the comments on this post.

THANKS!!!

Download all mp3s in a zipped folder (Available for 7 days or 100 downloads)
