Wednesday, October 20, 2010

Sorry....

That I haven't been updating much.

Google-Analytics and Firefox have been keeping me off of my Blogger dashboard D; I'l be back for good after I figure out how to get rid of the bug.

Videos and Update

 I have a couple videos here of me preforming at two open mics. I also have a small update for y'all.

Aja Espling and I preforming my song " Angel Dust " ( Classical Love )

Second song is I alone doing another song from my Album " Classical Love " called " Run, Run, Bunnytail. "

The Location is European Street at Jacksonville Beach.

Me Preforming " My Little Song " ( Classical Love ) at the Homestead at Jacksonville Beach.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE7Sk2zomWA
I went to an Audition fora Recording Company here in Jacksonville named ' Cypress Records '. It went pretty well, I recorded three songs for the guy and he said even though he was going to erase the recordings because they were just for fun, he was going to try and find me some sponsors to pay for my recordings.

He also mentioned that he'll contact me at a later date about going on a Local Comcast television program for Young Musicians. Pretty cool, I look forward to hearing from him.

I recording Six songs today for my third upcoming album, " Love To The Wolves. " Pretty good recordings and I'm happy with them. I think this album will be overall pretty decent.

For more info on me and my music,

Check out the Youtube page ( Click the videos and you know what to do from there. )

And the myspace page > Www.Myspace.com/Pipesmokingrabbit

I'll be creating a facebook and twitter here shortly, hopefully lol.

Peace and Love, everyone =D

Small Update.

So someone asked me if I had any of my songs on iTunes.

Answer : No, not yet.

Sub Pop Records has a deal with iTunes, though, that for about $70 dollars you can put an entire album on iTunes. This doesn't mean that you're signed with Sub Pop, though. It's just a way for new artist to get their name out there, so as soon as I can raise enough money to afford that, I'll have my songs on iTunes.

Also, there's a record Company here in Jacksonville that is mainly about Digital Music, so if I'm able to sign with them, they'll be putting my music up on iTunes.

Someone also asked me if they could preview my music on here. Well, I can't on Blogger, however, if you go to the myspace page, you can listen to several songs from Classical love, a couple songs from Pipe Smoking Rabbit, and a rough cut song from Love To The Wolves.

However, I'll be trying to make single song videos of several of my songs as soon as I can. Put them on youtube, and will post the videos on here.

Wednesday, October 6, 2010

So......

 Summery of my musical progress so far.

One album Released ( Classical Love = 13 Tracks )
One album needing touch ups before its' release ( Pipe Smoking Rabbit = 15 tracks )
One album in Work ( Love To The Wolves = 13 tracks so far )

CLASSICAL LOVE

I've been playing the " Golden Songs " ( Usual Set of my Favorite Songs from Classical Love. Usually Includes, Angel Dust, My Little Song, Run Run Bunnytail, Book Called Love, And, Classical Love. ) At Open mics around Town and I get a really good response for them. I thank ' Vossk Victus ' ( Justin Sanderson ) for the amazing Artwork. All I need now, is raise enough money to get some studio time and send Demo's of Classical Love to a few choice Labels I have in mind.

I've only sold one CD, which isn't good, but it's good that people like my stuff enough to buy a CD, when offered one for free.

I've recently heard of a Label right here on the west side of Jacksonville, Riversiderecords, I'll try and get a try out session for them as soon as I can. Not a big label, but it's a start.

PIPE SMOKING RABBIT.

Aside from the Golden Songs, I've also been playing " Blue " and " Teenage Mentality " At Open mics as well. This album, as I've already stated, has 15 tracks, but is the same length as Classical Love. Every song needs touching up, even a few new versions of some of the songs will be made. Considering that one song ( That will appear in the next album ) was left out due to it did not fit the Album mood. A few songs will appear in this album that were left out of Classical Love ( There'll be colours, Nobody Knows Why, And, Burn For you. ) Due to my laziness to rerecord them and put them into the album. I thank ' Panda ' ( Andrea Haseltine ) For the Ideal Artwork for the album cover for this Album.

LOVE TO THE WOLVES.

Still in the Making, none of the 13 songs have been recorded yet. A couple of these songs in this Album don't even have music behind them, and I'll have to get with Cassie Owens to help me out with one of them, considering that if we don't complete her song ( She wrote it ), the song I wrote as a Question to her Answer song, has no place on the album. The other song, I'll put music to later.

This album is more dark than the other two. That's really all I can say about it. And I'm waiting for ' Panda ' to draw up the Album Cover for it.

ALL IN ALL,

Things are going steady. Slow, but steady.

If you wanna buy a copy of Classical Love, or put in a order for a future CD coming, it's pretty easy to get hold of me. So, yeah.. $10 + Shipping. 







Also, I'll try and ' Get back ' to everyone at least every other day.

Much Love, everyone.

Friday, October 1, 2010

Hey, Guys.

Sorry I haven't been ' posting ' much to you all. I thank you for your support and I WILL Get back to you all eventually ( Probably early or Later next week, I'll make the wait worth it =P )

And you all know what I mean by that.

In other news, Three open mic nights in three nights in a row, pretty fun, did pretty great =D

I'll be playing at the lovely Three Layers Coffehouse ( In Springfield, jacksonville, Florida. ) at 9pm next Thursday.

Probably European ST Cafe again on Tuesday, or The Loft on Tuesday ( Still waiting to hear back from her about that ) And perhaps The Homestead ( I didn't really like it there, but a nice crowd ) on Wednesday.

Also uploading the videos we took of me playing at them last week. You can find them at ;

PipesmokingrabbitYT ( Youtube channel )

Peace & Love. I'll be back soon enough.

Wednesday, September 29, 2010

Tonight.

I'll be going to the Lovely " Homested " Out by the Jax Beaches in order the play at another Open mic night, just as I did yesterday, and will be doing tomorrow.

I think it's good that I'm going to a few different places to play, kinda gets my name out there further.

I'll upload probably tonight or tomorrow the recordings taken of my plays at both places.

PipesmokingrabbitYT < That's where you'll find them on youtube.

www.myspace.com/pipesmokingrabbit < That's where you can hear my songs.


Also, and an unrelated note, my Internet connection really sucks, so it'll be hard to get back to whoever comments my post. But I will thank you as soon as I get the chance =]

Labels?

I've been searching for Record labels to send my Demos too. It's hard though, my music is really hard to describe, Mellow Indie Folk is really where I put it, but there's really no label for that Grouping lol. A few of the Labels I've put a lot of thought into are these,

Fat Possum Records.
Bella Union Records.
Waterbug Records.
Dead Oceans Records.
Jagjaguwar Records.

If you know of another Label I could look into, or if you have any tips or advice, please let me know =D I could use some good advice lol.

I've also added a few more videos to the PipesmokingrabbitYT ( My Youtube Channel ), Same bit really, Kevin Pualk and I jamming out.

I'll be uploading the Coffehouse version of Classical Love soon to the PSRYT, he version Steavie Espling and I did  last Friday.

And Work on my Third album ( Love To The Wolves ) has been slow, and I still have several songs to rerecord in order to produce my Second album ( Pipe Smoking Rabbit ).

I'll keep you all updated.

Last Night.

I played a couple songs, one ( 'Angel Dust' ) with Aja Espling, and another ( 'Classical Love' ) with Steavie Espling ( Aja's Mother ).

I have the version of Classical Love recorded, however only 18 Seconds of Angel Dust. The response I(we) got was pretty good, I even got invited to play at an Open Mic out at the Beach ( The 'Homestead' ) So I'll be going there Probably Wednesday, and I also got invited to play at European Street @ The Beach, which I'll be going to Tuesday.

All in all, it went pretty well. I can't complain with the night, got closer to some of the Open mic'ers that usually go to the Coffe House on Thursdays and had an all around good time. Next week will be rather busy for me, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I'll have Open mic spots.

Tonight!

I'll be going to the lovely Three Layers Coffe House located in the Historical Springfield District of Jacksonville, Florida, and will be watching the Esping family play their Three/Four hour gig. Why am I going? They want me to do a couple songs with me, and are going to ask me to go up and play for a while.

Should be pretty fun, I've never played for more than 15 Minutes at this place ( Open Mic Night ), and it should be interesting to see how it goes and how I do.

I'll probably be playing ' Angel Dust ' with their Daughter, and ' Classical Love ' With the Mother. And Probably Three or Four other songs by myself.

One way or another, I'll make it in the Music Industry..........BUT! I WILL NOT BECOME A JUSTIN BEIBER.......Just thought I should make that clear.

Peace & Love, Everyone!

What's up?!

I'm Jakeman-Jensen ( Pipe Smoking Rabbit ).

I've been writing songs and music for almost a year now, I've finally gotten my songs protected by Copywrite ( Win! ) And I'm currently looking for work.

My songs basically rotate around the " Rough " Parts of Relationships and life in general. It's all acoustic and has been described as ' Mello Indie/Folk ', which is what I was somewhat aiming for lol.

I can't say I've had a hard life, although it's been rather rough, but I've grown to love everything that Life brings me, it's all beautiful.

That's all I can really think of right now.

Check me out?
