SoundClick artist: Staring at the Sun - page with MP3 music downloads

Staring at the Sun: Hey, I'm Mark Saldana, and this is where I kick around song ideas. Nothing's too polished or complete, and everything is recorded solo, but check out the music anyways! You may like.

Why this name?

Staring at the Sun, besides beind the name of U2, Offspring, and TV on the Radio songs, is one of those peculiar concepts with a lot of character. Generally, doing it hurts. Most people end up doing it a few times in their lives anyways. I still do it constantly

Do you play live?

Not yet. Band at LHS crumbled, waiting to find a couple guys into my sort of stuff.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

The Album is being threatened again by the Single, but this is looking worse than ever. Music is meant to be heard in context, as part of something.. but that's aside from the whole home-recording scene like soundclick. This is good stuff

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

I'd have to think about it more

Your influences?

the Velvet Underground, Interpol, Spacemen 3, Modest Mouse, Pavement..

Anything else...?

I played down "Drive-by euthanasia" too much on the songs page, arr! Check it out. I like how it came out
