This blog is part 12 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 11. The next day passed without anything arriving to my inbox. On Sunday morning, October 26th, I was working away at my computer when it came through. It was labeled incorrectly. It was also labeled as a master. I found this odd also. For starters I know I … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 12 – The Mix
This blog is part of an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 9. With my Gibson, Marshall Amp and Bass in tow, the next day I made my way to the session. My understanding leading into this session was that this artist had a song in the works with the producer which I was sent a file of. They needed to … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 10 – The Workshop
This blog is part 9 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 8 now. My next session was scheduled for September 11th which was good because I had a bit of homework. I ran through my song on bass and came up with parts based on what we’d done to that point. Again, a pretty simple song, so a pretty … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 9 – The Fourth Session
This blog is part 7 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 6. The following week I re-recorded my acoustic guitar rhythm track and we’d spoken in person about booking the Thursday to meet up again and go over everything and continue the project so I was anticipating that. I also very quickly re-recorded a new scratch vocal track just … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 7 – The Third Session
This blog is part 6 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 5. The next session date was originally scheduled for July 20th, but as the day approached it had to be moved. The engineer wanted to go out of town, so we moved our session to the 25th instead. In our e-mail back and fourth trying to re-schedule, I … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 6 – The Second Session
This blog is part 5 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 4. So I waited for the link that didn’t arrive. I had to reach out a couple times before I eventually heard back from the producer about scheduling the session. Whereas our first interaction was at the end of March, I didn’t actually receive the information to schedule … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 5 – The First Session
This blog is part 4 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 3 here. I was a little surprised when I hopped into the scheduling page to find that I wouldn’t be scheduling our first session. Instead it would just be a virtual meeting to discuss next steps. That part is all well and good, I figured, but I had to laugh … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 4 – The First Official Project Meeting
This blog is part 2 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 1 here. Fast forward to March of this year when after releasing a few albums of my own that I self-produced in either my bedroom or my previous rentals depending on the record, I was invited to an interesting audition. My talent agency, (because I have one of … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 2 – The Audition
I was a pretty big Sum 41 fan way back when and I’ve been following them since they exploded onto the Canadian music scene. I’ve talked about it before, but I was particularly interested in the unique relationship between them and Treble Charger – it turns out it was a bit different than I expected. A few months ago I pre-ordered Deryck Whibley’s memoir, Walking … Continue reading What the Fuck, Greig Nori?
After an extended hiatus, Jaimee Eat World returns with the complete recreation of Jimmy Eat World’s 2004 album Futures arriving on September 19th 2024.

The final release arrives at … Continue reading Jaimee Eat World Release: Futures
