pig and hog.
Dec 23, 2011
The more that i posses my friends, the more i feel possessed, the pig will get much fatter, and the hogs hard to embrace!
A widow is made for honest men, like the eyes are to the soul. I wish my head was empty, and useful like a bowl!

helping hands
Dec 18, 2011
If you need a helping hand, you can find one at the end of your arm. We have two hands. One for helping our self's, and one for helping others!
I know this may not be the "popular" opinion, but it should be!

restless tonight
Dec 18, 2011
i can find, happiness in the shape of a pill...
i find sorrow in stone upon the hill,
stumble down the hallway, like a thing from helium,
i stick to the floor boards , feet i drag along,
i hide from the sunshine, its a burning ball of hell,
dance in the moonlight, no one sees me there,
still working for the carnival,
tampering with the rides,
i will ride them ,and that will be the time,
i spill my blood, to get down to the thick of things,
fuck all that's good, fuck all that's fair,, fuck everything, its fucking good, to feel this way , as i push these words from dried up lungs,
i feel release,
the kind i suppose you could get,
from closing eyes to sing.
A peck at the heart, gouge in the eye, nice firm hand shake, these things are real, i don't feel, good, nor bad, just feel.with a beat of the wings i can be back in the clouds, leaving earth as worm food. with fingers frozen in bar chord clutch..
sincerely,
me

Bands Say Facebook ‘Likes’ Worth ~3X More Than Twitter, 11X More Than Google+
by Shelly on December 15, 2011 · 9 comments
We’ve all done it – compared our number of Facebook “Likes” with others, or bragged about how many twitter followers or email subscribers we have. Everyone wants to see how they measure up and social connections seem to make it easy. But here at Reverb, we started to wonder which social connection meant the most to artists. Friends, fans, followers? So, in conjunction with Digital Music News we developed a survey and sent it out to over 2000 Reverb artists. The results are pretty clear.
So now we know what…but we’re still wondering why? Why, for example, do artists value a Facebook like (a fan they ‘rent’ from Facebook) more than a mailing list subscriber (a fan they ‘own’)? And what makes a Facebook “like” three times more valuable than someone who follows you on Twitter? We have our own theories, but want to hear from you.
Leave a comment below and tell us why you think artists have ranked these social connections the way they have.

please! i “like” reverbnation, and it is from my own free will that i”like” you. Maybe you are not aware of the debauchery at hand. If you were you might not print an Orson Wells piece that will only stir the bee’s! I get at least 50 messages a day that say nothing more than “like for like”? or, just a Facebook URL, and nothing else. Bands that are preoccupied with “likes”, or bogus fan counts simply don’t have any fans( i use the word fan loosely) i read an article that stated the marketing company’s that help implement these clever information gathering buttons, were in fact starting to see useless info because of the “you like me ill like you” rage. On Facebook they even have an option where a band can select, that someone must click there like button to hear there music,,,,? how do i know i will like it before i hear it? Think about this. If every one increased there like count by one….you do the math.
Bands, comon…have some dignity, stop begging. worry less about your fan count, and like numbers and more about rehearsing and song writing. All the begged, bought and traded numbers will soon be worth squat! Impression numbers are whats really going on if ya wanna know!…”impression for impression anyone?
I’m not ranting, just facts before coffee,,,,i degress
