And I'm going to pick you up. And throw you into a crowd surf.

FYI regarding the actual comp talked about on the first page, I'm keeping track of everyone that has shown interest or provided links to songs. I've been overrun with work, and will be organizing all the details on the way down to GETFACUNDOWAVE. Thanks for showing all of your support for such an awesome dude.

Facundo comp is a go then, here's who I have seen interested here so far:
* Saskrotch
* 10k
* Decktonic
* an-cat-max

E-mail me at [email protected] and let me know what you're interested in submitting, I don't know exactly what a good deadline date is, but just assume for now that it's a few weeks out so you can self-motivate. However, sooner is better for submissions so just shoot me an e-mail and let me know that you're down to party.

As for the savefacundo Bandcamp releases, here's the deal:

If you want to contribute an album that's already on Bandcamp: Fantastic, that's really easy. Just email me the following:

* Link to your bandcamp release
* Minimum price to download (people can choose to pay more if they wish)
* Bonus content to include (videos, extra tracks, etc.)

If your release isn't on Bandcamp already: I will need FLAC/AIFF/WAV master files for your album to upload to bandcamp. Place a zip of those files on the web somewhere (I can provide an upload space if necessary), and email me the following info:

* Link to zip file
* Album name
* Track names
* Minimum price to download
* Any bonus content you wish to include with the album (videos, extra tracks, etc.)

Any contributions are greatly appreciated, as Facundo is a pal to hundreds of us and it would be the worst thing ever if he had to go. You can make a difference!

Cheers,
-Chris

Get a little buzz on to kill the nerves if necessary, and don't forget to enjoy yourself. Worst case scenario your PA bums out or everybody hates you... neither of those are a big deal unless everybody *does* hate you, and you decide not to figure out why. Check out the audience's reactions to your songs and adjust appropriately. You'll have one song that nobody except you likes. If the one guy in the audience that is SUPER-PSYCHED about what's going on isn't a complete toolbox, play into his excitement and trick him into starting a dance party.

And most importantly, if you're playing somewhere random like a sports bar and you get the one heckler that starts giving you shit, your best response is a "what's with this asshole" look in his direction before you continue to rock the fuck out. Forget about what others think, even if it's only while you're on stage.

But trust me on the sunscreen…

SUPER LATE EDIT: I can't tell you how much more enjoyable shows became for me when I decided to let loose and start channeling the energy in my songs into movement. Dancing is awesome, and it's a great way to train yourself not to get worked up about what people are thinking about you. Is dancing too much? That's okay, just focus on your songs and convey the feeling behind them to the audience in whatever way you're comfortable with!

ChurchCrunch? Best compound word 2010?

In before mine tracks!
