After thought about other suggested bandnames, (ex. the Moaning Ovaries, Whale Noises, and the Raging Puppet Shoes) I decided being that it's only me for now, the name is subject to change. Ectogasm itself is a bastardization of the name incubus, you know, demon comes to earth to rape women, ghost+orgasm=ectogasm. I swear, the songwriting is better.

Thinking of going ahead and just using my own name eventually, you know the musician songwriter thing is oh so trendy now.

Not really, I don't quite know how to go about it. If anyone has an idea than let me know. Advice? Opportunity? Let me know.

Well aside from the kazaa/donkey/mirc stuff, and even concerning it, the internet I think helps music, if not the music industry. The whole reason I signed up here is through a link from a John Frusciante website, I heard another guy here in the Other Alternative category, D Mercer, so now I feel like I'm a part of something bigger, not because of the "industry" but because songwriting is so concentrated here. (I don't think it's all good mind you, but I still like the sentiment)

Of course. I have no tired ideals to try to stick to, (or worse, criticize others with) and I hope I never will. Although I must say, one ideal that will never be tired is to make the music you need to make to make yourself happy. Distribution is the name of the game, and I want to be able to do this for a living.

The band started a few years ago, simply jamming on songs we knew (Polly, About a Girl, Nice To Know You, Californication) and then, when we decided to take it as seriously as we could, when I say we I mean myself, bassist, and a drummer- listed below. Unfortunately, transportation issues barred our drummer from making it most of the time, and my bassist simply isn't as committed to making music as I am (oh yeah, and the job thing) so now, until all is made well in the land of Jeremy, recordings will be made by myself and a little bit of magic.


Yep, update here, bassist in a jail, co-guitarist is a homeowner with more than a couple dependents. So I'm just a solo artist now.
