Thanks… really.

It seems to be conventional wisdom that blogging is an essential arrow in the marketing quiver. Every company and everybody has a blog, or so it seems, anyway.

This is my first attempt at it, and I have to say that at first, I was worried. I made lists of topics. Didn’t think I’d have anything to write about. Wasn’t sure (and I’m still not) what anyone would consider interesting. I thought this would be stressful because I wouldn’t know what to write about, but I knew I would need to update often.

Well, as it turns out, I could sit and write this thing all day. There’s a lot to cover in music, marketing and our site. I find myself not stressed about coming up with subjects, but stressed about filtering properly and finding enough time to execute.

But as I go through that, I continually think about how grateful I am that you’ve been stopping by. So, I wanted to put the brakes on for a moment and thank you for your interest in me, NewTunes or whatever else is bringing you by.

I’m surprised at my stats thus far, and it seems many of you are passing this on. That truly means a great deal to me, and you should know that I really appreciate it.

Hope all’s going well for you,

Jon

New Four Tet release

Let it not be lost on anyone that Four Tet released a four-song EP called Ringer this past Tuesday. This isn’t from the EP, but it should make for some appropriate sounds if you’d like to read on…

Four Tet is actually one man – Kieran Hebden. He’s originally from London and has been making music under the name Four Tet since 1998. I first heard of them when previously mentioned friend Rick came out from Idaho a few years ago to help us with some copywriting.

I find his music really enjoyable and great with headphones, fresh air and closed eyes. Hebden truly creates a dynamic soundscape, and this new EP, which actually clocks in at around 22 minutes, is very Eno-esque in its ambient nature.

If you’ve got a 20 minute (or less) commute to work, this should put you in the right frame of mind (or get you back into it after work, for that matter).

More proof that music can be beautiful.
