Classic Episode 1. Musical Discoveries #1 video descriptionIn this "Musical '"Discoveries'" episode, we will be sharing 10 musical artists who are a little off-the-beaten path, but who have inspired us in some way or another. Either we have recently "discovered" them by appreciating work that they have already done, or we, literally, have recently discovered that they exist at all. Either way, there is something about their art that we would like to share, so that more folks can appreciate them too.#musicdiscoveries #music #deejay #diyrockstar #prejippie #bloomingprejippieCheck out the episode for the full discussion or the accompanying blog post: https://bit.ly/cl1musicdiscblog So, will we do it again?

1. Why use a shortened URL (as a D.I.Y. Rock Star)? Video DescriptionInspired by https://www.cyberprmusic.com/musicians-guide-to-using-bitly/ and by https://blog.hootsuite.com/what-are-url-shorteners/ As a D.I.Y. Rock Star, you will LIKELY find it necessary to share links to your music and your merch. Wouldn’t it be great if you could tell how many folks are clicking on the links from Instagram or from Twitter or from wherever? And wouldn’t it be great to also name each link, so that it’s easy to tell which link is for which song? Well, that’s JUST what you will be able to do, if you use a URL shortener. #branding #diyrockstar #prejippie #bloomingprejippie*This is a non-sponsored post.

1. Why do I need to market (as a D.I.Y. Rock Star)? Video DescriptionIf you want to share your art with more than your friends and family, you have to do this. Here’s why you need to market (as a D.I.Y. Rock Star).#whymarket #musicianlife #marketbetter #diyrockstar #prejippie #bloomingprejippieInspired by Art Juice Podcast’s Marketing Your Art without Marketing [193] https://listen.stitcher.com/yvap/?c=sharelink&af_dp=stitcher://episode/211373440&af_web_dp=https://www.stitcher.com/episode/211373440&deep_link_value=stitcher://episode/211373440 It SHOULDN’T feel cringey. Look at it as “look at what I made!” Address your resistance. If you don’t decide this is what you WANT to do and just do SOME. There’s no point stamping your feet about it. Or instead, resign yourself to get a job to support you JUST expressing—and NOT marketing—and so you don’t need to sell AT ALL.

1. Will AI help or hurt the D.I.Y. Rock Star? Video DescriptionThe topic has been ALL around us during this past holiday season and we’ve seen some demonstrations about how it can write a movie, write a blog post, and, yes, write a song. How beneficial or detrimental is this to the D.I.Y. Rock Star?#AI #vision #artificialintelligence #diyrockstar #prejippie #bloomingprejippieFrom all the of the posts we’ve been seeing—here’s a Castos post: https://castos.com/ai-text-generators/ and even Rick Beato’s interview with Billy Corgan: “The Smashing Pumpkins: The Billy Corgan Interview”, folks are either afraid of AI or touting its benefits for creators everywhere. As always, our question is how can it help folks like you and me—D.I.Y. Rock Stars—build our creative empire better, stronger, or faster. So, THAT’S what we are looking at here.

Minimalism and the D.I.Y. Rock StarPodmas 2022 Video Descriptions12. Staying the course; “math plus feelings” ep 271This is just a peek in the window of our current minimalism journey.Practice Gratitude As corny as it sounds, when we stop to figure out WHY we’re buying MANY things, we’ll realize that we are trying to “fill a hole” in our lives. By stopping often and asking ourselves what we are grateful for right now, we become more content and less compulsive, which can save you a lot of money AND keep you from buying unnecessary shit.

Minimalism and the D.I.Y. Rock StarPodmas 2022 Video DescriptionsHealthy home products ep 270Part of the minimalist aesthetic is simplifying the number of products that you buy and use.While I NEVER could see myself as someone who would take the time and energy to make my own personal care and home products, there were two “recipes” that have worked REALLY well.•Found out that the homemade deodorant—from baking soda mixed with coconut oil— REALLY works and feels better (because it’s all-natural —and it saves money too! 😬)•Found out that vinegar and baking soda is an inexpensive and environmentally-friendly way to unclog drains in the house•Also, on the lookout for any waste that can be curbed (like too much toothpaste, so that half of it ends up in the sink)Again, because I am on this journey of doing better and being better by simplifying, I was in a frame of mind to give these things a try and I doubt that I will ever go back to NOT using them.Here’s to a kickoff to healthy habits for 2023!You MIGHT like:•2019 Tips for the D.I.Y.

257 How to be a better boss (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star) Video Description

betterboss #bebetter #diyrockstar #prejippie #bloomingprejippie

As D.I.Y. Rock Stars, sometimes we have to bring in others to help us realize our vision—like, if you’re a vocalist, but you hire out producer duties to someone else—you need to be able to manage your "employee”—for lack of a better word—so that you can get the BEST results from the situation. In other words, you may need to buy the skills that you do not have in order to make your project coalesce into its best. The strategies we are about to share are intended to help you NOT lose your mind and be able to thrive in this unusual authoritative situation.

1. Is it the song that’s good or is it the production Video Description

This piggybacks on “what’s a great song” episode (Gab & Jam, ep 175: https://bit.ly/Ep175greatsongvid ) The songwriting gurus tell us to “start with a ‘great’ song,” but in this episode, we’re going to push back on that notion:

1. What’s the difference between style and voice Video Description

One of the reasons that we chose this topic is because it is fascinating to us as artists AND because we know that MANY folks are tempted to feel like the terms “style” and “voice” are synonymous. –In fact, many people seem to use these words interchangeably, along with the term “genre.” We want to show how they are related, but NOT the same.

Why should you care about distinguishing style from voice? Marketing your music could depend on it! Check out how to do it better.

1. Appropriation or appreciation?

This is quite a contentious topic, we know, but we think it’s worth exploring, since we have our OWN questions about where the line lies. So, this is just us exploring some of the thoughts underlying the issue.

1. Basic Recording Studio Set-up (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star) video description

We’ve owned our own recording studio since 1986, which means that we have consistently asked ourselves these 6 general questions upon each re-thinking–and re-iteration and add-on–to our studio.

We think it’s useful for any creator to have a place to experiment with ideas and to, potentially, publish their own work. Whether you write EDM, are a band, or are a solo singer/songwriter artist, it is in your favor to have a space and a system for being able to record your songwriting ideas.

1. What do you do when real life interrupts your artistic process Video Description

As a D.I.Y. Rock Star, you have to NOT ONLY grow/maintain your artistic exploration, outreach, and dialing in the vision, but also you are living real life in the meantime. This means that you are likely holding down a day job, may have some kids and a spouse, and need to balance it all as best you can. THAT’S where this episode comes in. Lean on these ideas when “real life” strikes and takes you away from your creative life.

Inspired by Check out When Real Life Interrupts [173]https://listen.stitcher.com/yvap/?c=sharelink⁡_dp=stitcher://episode/204620884⁡_web_dp=https://www.stitcher.com/episode/204620884&deep_link_value=stitcher://episode/204620884

1. How NOT to let the news discourage you (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star) Video Description

Not that we haven’t talked about this one before—see our https://bit.ly/blogmas2021blog , but this particular post was inspired by Ruth Soukup (of the Do It Scared podcast ) email newsletter. Her big idea is that, with all the bad news that’s going on in the world today, it’s important for an entrepreneur to maintain a strong, hopeful frame of mind. In order to do that, she suggests that folks do five things. –And, of course, we added three more suggestions.

1. Should you buy ads for your music? Video Description

We KNOW that this is a contentious topic, but give us a minute to explain why we are emphatic about it. #ads #music #fanfinder #diyrockstar #prejippie #bloomingprejippie

While this idea was piqued my interest from the Creative Juice podcast episode, episode 221 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/creative-juice/id1216865479?i=1000564761305 ), but it really builds on what we’ve heard from some of our favorite fellow creators, like Brian Hazard (https://passivepromotion.com/pay-what-you-want/?__s=usmsorotd9pf91v2vk25 ), Tom Ray (https://anchor.fm/tomraysartpodcast/episodes/Bruce-and-Vox-Henderson-Prejippie-Music-eq6t5g/a-a8112bj#_=_ ), and ALSO is the cornerstone of the artist mentoring program that we JUST completed recently (https://bit.ly/217artistmentorrevealblog ).

1. 10k YouTube Subs: How’d we get here? Video Description

Don’t know, but these are the things we THINK contributed: 1. Consistency (we have been at it for a little over 5 years now; we post weekly, pretty much without fail) 2. Shorts (addition this past 3 months; our son approached us about adding shorts to our YouTube, more clips to TikTok, and Reels on Instagram; if you are interested in contacting him for that, his email is cahenderson45@gmail.com) 3. Happy accidents (playlist mistake affecting YouTube), 4. Ads (from artist mentoring funnel, which brings folks to us every day), 5. Social media marketing (everytime we publish a video, we create a post with an explanation, a graphic, and the bitly links, so that we can get as many eyes on it in the first day or two) 6. Posting in groups (not only do I post in our own Facebook groups (including Be the Next D.I.Y. Rock Star (add link), but we also share it to as many pertinent peer-friendly groups for whatever type of post it is)

Now, taking the same approach to blog and seeing growth.

228 Nine Tips to Write Quicker, But Better Video Description

Inspired by Smart Passive Income 431: Is Writing Still a Viable Content Platform? Medium, Copywriting Tips, and More, with Dr. Benjamin Hardy https://www.smartpassiveincome.com/podcasts/writing-still-viable-content-platform-medium-copywriting-tips-benjamin-hardy/

There are so many things to get right when you’re writing that it’s important to narrow down a few techniques to keep you buoyant.

How to get into flow for writing: 1. Lots of journaling is important (for dumping thoughts) 2. Write in the morning (where the busyness of the day hasn’t started; try getting up an hour early) 3. Start with a structure to write around makes it easy to write; write about the 4 ideas you want to write about is better than facing an empty canvas 4. Headlines are usually pretty explanatory (“Three ways to _______) 5. Listening to books and taking notes along the ways 6. Keeping track of things that are interesting; if it sucks you in, it’s easier to write about it. 7. If you don’t have a goal, then you’re going through the motions, then it helps you frame it. 8. Wake up early to write, so that you can focus. 9. Write in fast timelines to get things done. 10. Push out imperfect work, where you get something done, can give you confidence. –Even if it’s only an hour, you can get something done.

There are so many things you need to get right BEFORE you get to the article that it can sometimes be overwhelming, but you can get better, but we hope these tips—some of which we gleaned from that podcast episode—will help you write quicker, but better.

1. How to prepare for a music conference Video Description

This is a list intended to help you put your priorities in place. It is ALSO the list that we are CURRENTLY using in preparation for our South By Southwest trip (that’s happening right now), so this is kinda a behind the scenes look at what we’re doing.

musicconference #preparing #sxsw #diyrockstar #prejippie #bloomingprejippie

Check out the episode to hear the full discussion.

12 Steps SXSW planning: 1. Tickets/hotel/airfare 2. Rough schedule (1. for everything, including livestreams and social media posts; 2. Last time we used Trello to keep track of the daily agenda and notes, but this time we are trying Google Keep) 3. Look at conference app for time/session planning 4. Food/shopping plans (for that city; survey YouTube videos and blogs) 5. Clothing choices (comfortable, but rock Star branded) 6. Merch strategy (items/distribution/creation???) 7. Day job preparation 8. Plan/get spending money for trip (keep some cash) 9. Tech needs (including Memory cards) 10. Pack patience (things will be different than you’re used to, but that’s why you’re fucking leaving the house) 11. Enjoy the moment (take it all in, savor it, record as much as you can stand to) 12. Have a buffer day (when you return home)

1. 15 Ways to say “no” (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star) Video Description

This follows up on our JOMO episode ( 195 https://bit.ly/195fomotojomoblog ). What we’ve realized over the years is that now that we are tuned into the things we WANT to do, we have to be careful not to get excited by every opportunity that we are presented with. However, we like to be diplomatic in turning things down, so I have been on the lookout for ways to say no politely.

You don’t want to burn bridges You haven’t even had a chance to think about it You KNOW you have a “problem” with saying “yes” too often

9. I already have something planned
10. It sounds lovely, but maybe next time
11. I’m not taking on anything else right now
12. Thank you for thinking of me, but I can’t
13. Let me think about it and get back to you
14. I’m not sure I am the best person for that

1. Songwriting: Which is better quality or quantity? 💁🏾 Video Description

songwriting #qualityvsquantity #diyrockstar #prejippie #bloomingprejippie

This is yet ANOTHER age-old question; as a songwriter, are you trying to write fewer, high-quality songs or are you trying to spit them out as quickly as the Muse downloads them to you?

3 Points for Quantity OVER “quality”: It seems like a non-starter, since we 1. Even if you want quality, you need quantity to get you there. Malcolm Gladwell’s idea that it takes 10,000 hours to become REALLY good at something. (Add link) This means that… 2. The folks who try to “perfect” miss at-bats for improving the process. 3. They also miss the satisfaction of feeling that progress, which can be a motivator for continuing to write regularly. 4. Release often, so you can see your progress more quickly 5. Allow yourself to release “crap” 6. Let it be what it’s gonna be

This episode is a follow-up to episode 213, Goals for 2022 (https://bit.ly/213goals2022vid ), where we mentioned that we wanted to do more pre-planning of our D.I.Y. Rock Star activities. So, when I saw this Creative Juice episode, How to Plan for the Year Ahead in Your Music Career, that shared this process, I KNEW I had to weigh in and share. We’re going to follow this process to create our very OWN music/social media content calendar, as well. [Inspired by Check out Creative Juice 🧃 podcast EP197: How To Plan For The Year Ahead in Your Music Career (Nov 30, 2021)]

Here are 3 things to consider before you even get started: 1. May take a few days to complete 2. Involve your entire group/team in planning 3. The goal is NOT to be overwhelmed by this process and to be excited and to have fun and support your big goals for the year.

Here are the steps for creating a year-long content calendar for your music:

1. Grab out a yearlong calendar
2. Put big items that you know might happen in the year (releases, live performances, etc.)
3. Add in holidays
4. Add content and promotions around those
5. Look back at what you did last year (figure out what worked and what didn’t)
6. Figure out your goals (make money, find repeat customers, convince listeners to buy)
7. Execute

What do you think? Are you going to try implementing this? What are some ways that you’re going to plan out your music-related content for this year? We’d love to hear about it. Leave it in the comments below.

1. Learn how to be the Hero of your own story video description

“You are the hero/villain of your own story.” —Blooming Prejippie (2022 Motto) This one our favorite ideas around here, so when I turned into this Creative Pep Talk episode (ep. 346 3 Steps for How to Start 2022 Back in Your Creative Sweet Spot we KNEW it was going to be speaking our language. So, we’re going to summarize what Andy J. Pizza talks about in his episode, while adding our additional insight.

1. Should I ever play for free Video Description

This is one of those age-old questions that plague artists of all kinds. Should you ever play for free? Some of the ideas here have been cobbled together from personal experience, from podcasts, and from a book that on my iPod playlist, called Know Your Value; all of these are intended to make you aware of the implications, mindset, and, most importantly, some strategies for make sure you are earning what you are worth.

Check out the episode to hear the 7 Things to Consider when thinking about “playing for free” (or giving your work away) or the accompanying blog post (https://bit.ly/214playfreeblog ).

These are just a few of the things we’ve learned over the years—from experience and from outside sources—for considering whether or not it is worth it to play for free.

What are your thoughts on this topic? We’d like to know. Leave it in the comments below.

1. Goals for 2022 Video Description As you might already know, we LOVED the idea of 19 Goals for 2019 (inspired by the Happier podcast) and, amazingly, it is STILL one of our top viewed videos on our YouTube channel. ( http://bit.ly/19for2019vid ) However, as the years are ticking upward, I can’t see the benefit of continuing to make that list longer and longer….🤷🏽‍♀️😳 In fact, as the years have ticked along and I am listening to that still small voice inside of me that says that less, but well-chosen goals, probably provide the REAL secret to success—because it gives us an automatic focus, instead of scattering our time and attention in a myriad of different places. So, I am taking my own advice, heading BACK to our vision board (http://bit.ly/rockstarvision ) and deciding what we want to accomplish in this upcoming year.

goals #goalsfor2022 #newyear #diyrockstar #prejippie #bloomingprejippie

Went back to vision board, so I could figure out what the focus should be (based on what happened last year) and to decide if I want to add or subtract anything from THAT list. It turns out that I was prioritizing the blog, the Gab & Jam show, and the music.

Check out the episode for the full discussion.

Those are some of the things we have in our sights for 2022. We have more “targets” in our accompanying blog post (https://bit.ly/213goals2022blog )

Health & Wellness (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star) Blogmas 2021 Video Description

Blogmas 2021 consists of 12 days of podcast/video episodes and, for the sake of our sanity, we’ll do one big ass blog post—that’s THIS one right here—that will sum it all up! 😳🤷🏽‍♀️😬

We’re focusing on health and wellness for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. This is going to be a different kind of challenge for us, but we think it’ll be a lot of fun and will get us in the right mindset to start the year right. 💥🧘🏾‍♂️🥳😊

1. Goal setting It’s hard to get to a place that you don’t have a plan to get to. That’s the unmitigated value in setting goals. We KNOW we’ve said it before, but it’s hard to know where you want to get to, if you don’t set a goal and then make a plan to get there. When you do so, it is easier to chart your progress. Without that, you are metaphorically, throwing darts onto a dart board, but not aiming for a particular spot. Life will pass and you will wonder why you haven’t achieved some of your aspirations. –As folks who have spent FAR too long wishing days away and waiting for someone else to figure all this shit out (see our story here: http://bit.ly/allthethingsprej ), we realized how much further along we could be NOW if we had been brave enough to SAY what we WANTED and to make the UNUSUAL choice to PLAN to get there. We don’t want you to have to wait to realize your creative dreams. That’s why we’re making it a point to share all this. Plan now; manifest sooner.

1. The value of reflection It’s the end of the year and that’s a great time to take stock on what has gone right in your plans this past year. Because this past year and a half have blended into such a mass of marbled memories, it is ESPECIALLY important to take stock of whatever amended goals that carried over from the start of this pandemic to now. Reflection is a way to process how you have handled pursuing goals and gives you a basis to know what you’d like to try to make a move on for the upcoming year. So, whatever you do, don’t skip this step.

1. Creating online boundaries During the pandemic, it at first seemed as if we have “extra” time in our schedules—those of us who are working from home. But increasingly, employers—and ourselves—have started to NOT know when to turn work “off.” According a recent episode of Accidental Creative, Todd Henry talks about peers of his, who NOT only rarely took breaks in the day, but who sometimes—oftentimes—worked from 7 am to 8 pm online daily. We think that this is NOT only NOT healthy for a thriving work life, long-term, but does not even give your eyes, wrists, neck, and back a break from arduous hours of work.

1. Choose wellness community/accountability partners Our journey is a unique one, so it takes thinking, talking, trying ideas that often friends and family can’t relate to. It’s NOT that they don’t love you; it’s just NOT a path that they understand sometimes, so that DONT know how to help you. That’s when you need a group of people who are going along a similar journey—even if it’s NOT quite the same path. I know I give the same example often, but knowing what companies are best for printing your custom band tees is of utmost importance to many of us on this D.I.Y. Rock Star journey and often it is ONLY folks who have had those same frustrations—and discoveries—can help ease our concerns in these kinds of areas. Having a friend or two—or a group or two—that you can turn to can make all the difference in the world when it comes to working through these kinds of things.

Roll financial wellness/literacy into the plan. So many of our earlier problems were tied to not understanding how finances worked. Since strained finances are often the cause of so much stress, we finally made a point to figure these things out and we have never regretted it. Understanding what money is coming in, what is going out, and deciding what is “worth” the work and what is not has been a game-changer for us, so we would be remiss if we didn’t mention that spending just a little time figuring this out and understanding how you will manage this on a regular basis will be worth your time. –Of course, it took us 30 years to figure this out, but, nonetheless, it’s worth our time now, and we assure you, that it’s worth your time to do so as well.

1. Try gratitude journaling We know there’s a movement away from the “talking cure,” but I SWEAR journaling helps keep me sane, dialed in, and ready for whatever comes my way generally. By “talking it out”—through my journal—I can ask—and answer!—the hard questions that allow me to examine my behavior, my reactions to things, and to chart out my next moves. Yes, sometimes these thoughts are TOO painful to share with anyone else, but I have to be honest with MYSELF. Once I write it out, solutions begin to reveal themselves, and I almost INSTANTLY feel better and am ready to face the challenges that USED to knock me straight off my square. Besides, I usually end my writing feeling eternally grateful for SOMETHING that has gone RIGHT in my life, which is why I thought it was important to mention that it’s “gratitude journaling.” Sometimes, I begin by telling about something that went right yesterday BEFORE I launch into what’s been fucked up, but OFTEN, I start with the “what’s bad” rant and by the end, I realize what’s going right. Either way, somewhere in there, I acknowledge that there’s some good stuff to reflect on. That’s my mojo. 😬💥 (http://bit.ly/plannerpmg )

1. Find ways to decompress Find ways to get that re-coup from the stress of it. Don’t rely on social media scrolling and sleeping too much. Find things that are a reward, but don’t involve food or too much time on social media. Sweet exploits like that Poem-a-Day email are ways to slip away and entertain some other ideas WHILE you’re in the middle of the thickness will help you remember that there’s joy in the art of things. Other people’s playlists are another way of finding something new that can allow you to relax, but to also spark new creative fires.

Trust us; you DON’T want to skimp on these things, because they will help you work longer and find more joy in the process.

We hope you’ll all tune in December 12 through the 24th! 👋🏾

1. Finding your “flow” Much of what we discuss when it comes to wellness is figuring who you are, so that you can maximize your energy and spend your time. We place so many demands and expectations on ourselves, but really, it’s figuring out what makes you most joyful that is feeding your soul, so do less of the shit that drags you down and do more of the shit that lights you up! Your flow is your sweet spot and will help you reach your goals faster.

Ep 169 How to Grow a YouTube or Social Media Following (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star) Video Description

Inspired by Art Juice podcast ep 112, “Artists on Instagram: Tips and Strategies for Success”

Accounts are further along than some and less than others. 1. Takes time 2. Do what you like (Don’t turn it into work.) 3. Personal versus business 4. Don’t depend on only one 5. Look at it as marketing (make it a natural extension of what you do) 6. Introduce your post (make it more conversational) 7. Keep going

Ep157 Why use a planner (for D.I.Y. Rock Star planning)?

As you might know, we have just unboxed our latest Plum Paper Planner (https://bit.ly/plumplannerunbox3). I am not going to lie; it was thrilling. But it made me wonder, realistically, what is the purpose of utilizing a planner for the D.I.Y. Rock Star? That is what we are exploring today.

In our minds, there are a few really specific reasons to use some method of formal planning and here they are:

Reasons to use a planner for D.I.Y. Rock Star planning: 1. Guide your time (to support your vision) 2. Track your progress (for newsletter and for habit tracking) 3. To help visually chunk out time (without it, time seems big and amorphous and you can get lost in the daily living) 4. To track our income and expenses

What planning method do you use? How does it help you live your D.I.Y. Rock Star lifestyle? We’d love to hear about it. Leave it in the comments below.

Ep 156 Lessons Learned in 2020 Video Description

This year is probably going to be THE most memorable for anyone who is alive right now. It’s had its share of struggles, that’s for sure. But, as always, we like to figure out how to get the good out of EVERYTHING, so we have flipped this idea around and are asking what lessons have we learned from 2020?

lessons #adversity #2020 #diyrockstar #endofyear #prejippie #bloomingprejippie #reflection

Lessons learned in 2020: 1. The ability to do hard things to help open up new opportunities (being social is hard, but we are doing it) 2. The ability to rise to the challenge (whatever it may be) 3. The ability to pivot into something new and creative

What do you think? What did you discover about yourself or the world that became clear this year? We’d love to hear your suggestions. Leave a comment below.

Ep 155 Musical Discovery 3 Christmas Edition Video Description

Even though it’s 2020 and we’re in the middle of a pandemic, we are still heading into the holiday season. Not only is this the time to remind yourself of how blessed you are if you are alive and healthy, but it’s time to celebrate the season with music. We thought we’d share some more unusual choices for your holiday playlist. (Here is the entire playlist: http://bit.ly/Musicaldisc3playlist )

holidays #playlist #christmas #diyrockstar #playlist #prejippie #bloomingprejippie #songs

This is our gift to you for this really weird 2020 holiday season. Surprisingly, we have never done a Christmas music one, but here’s why.

As you PROBABLY could have guessed, this list could have been massive and could have taken over a city block or something, but I THINK we have managed to whittle it down enough to be digestible. (Check out the episode for the list!)

What do you think? What Christmas songs—and/or who’s renditions—really get you in the holiday mood? We’d love to hear your suggestions. Leave a comment below.

Ep 154 The Value of Refreshing Your Vision Board (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star)

We've refreshed our board three times now. (Check out more on vision boards: http://bit.ly/rockstarvision ) Why did we do it? Aren't our goals pretty much still the same? Here’s why you MIGHT want to take another look at your overall vision.

vision #visionboard #goals #diyrockstar #planning #prejippie #bloomingprejippie

How often should you update it? It's up to you, but the two best times would seem to be about once a year (if your goals/circumstances haven't changed much) or when you know your goals are not reflected accurately.

What about you? Have you created a vision board yet? If not, why not? We've a free download to help you do one for yourself. http://bit.ly/visionprintable If you do, how often do you update it? We'd love to hear about it. Drop it in the comments below.

Taking a holiday break. Will give you a first-time ever holiday episode, so keep an eye out for that. Will be back first Monday in January 2021.

Ep 170 4 Ways to Find Your Creative Identity (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star) Video Description

Maybe I see our mission—if we have one—as helping you all—and ourselves—stay tuned into who you truly are. We think knowing who you are is your Super Power and will help you lead a life of purpose and passion. Needless to say, my ears perk up every time there is a discussion of finding one’s creative self. Consider this augmented eavesdropping, since it was inspired—once again—by one of my new favorite podcasts, Creative Pep Talk (episode 312; Do You Know Who You Are? Find Your Creative Identity Now; http://bit.ly/creativepeppod312 ). We believe that not only is this helpful to new artists, but to us seasoned folks as well, because, as far as we are concerned, you will need to keep yourself in “calibration,” so that you can know what your goals are and what you are willing—and unwilling—to do to get where you want to be.

Ep 171 Am I a procrastinator, but don’t know it? Video Description

Here’s a quote—from one of my current new favorite podcasts, Creative Pep Talk (episode 294: https://www.creativepeptalk.com/episodes/294 ). “You spend your life doing what you spend your days doing.”—Andy J. Pizza

We know about the bills, the boss, and the kids, but think about the fact that creating something of value is your passion, so are you making the time and taking the effort to do those things? The reason why we feel qualified to discuss this topic is that there have been times in our lives where we have asked ourselves these same questions.

4 Questions to Ask Your Yourself to find out if you’re procrastinating (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star): (Listen to the episode for the 4 questions.)

Ep 173 Why have a podcast (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star)? Video Description

As D.I.Y. Rock Stars, we’ve got quite a lot to juggle already; why would you want to ADD podcasting to the pile? Here are AT LEAST 4 good reasons.

1. Helps build community around your message
2. Helps you showcase your personality
3. Helps deepen people's interest in whatever else you do
4. Helps you meet peers AND role models

No one actively encouraged us to start a podcast, but it was a natural outgrowth of several of the other things we were doing. What about you? Do you have a podcast? Are you thinking of starting one? We’d love to support even more artists and their podcasts. Leave your show’s name in the comments below and we’ll be sure to check you out!

Ep 153 Why ugly is so pretty The power of grow on you tunes

As far as we know, this term was coined by our good buddy, Marx Talley. It refers to songs that you really can’t stand initially, but that eventually end up being among your favorites. We’ve talked about this pretty recently, actually. But why do these songs have this twisted power over us? And don’t you REALLY want to know, because you want to have that power over others? (Ep 151 https://bit.ly/Ep151Awfulvid and to Prince G.O.T. http://bit.ly/princecountdown )

musicispower #uglyispretty #diyrockstar #growonyou #prejippie #bloomingprejippie

1. It moves you. (The other side of hate is love; it moved you in some sort of way)
2. It calls on that side of you that likes being “deep” (it requires that you stretch to meet it; it appears unknowable)
3. It is more interesting because it is so memorable (or vice versa) (When something is basic, it does not give you “anything to hold on to,” as our buddy Anthony Pierson used to tell us decades ago.)

What do you think? When have you heard a song that you thought you absolutely hated only to hear it again and find that you REALLY love it? We DEFINITELY want to hear about that!

Taking a holiday break. Will give you a first-time ever holiday episode, so keep an eye out for that. Will be back first Monday in January 2021.

Ep 174 Doing inner/outer work is necessary to stay creative Video Description

What does it take to remain receptive to your muse? That’s the question when seeking a long-term creativity. Here are some things to consider when we want to remain creative:

Inspired by Creative Pep Talk Ep 312 "Do You Know Who You Are? Find Your Creative Identity Now" https://www.creativepeptalk.com/episodes/312

Inner/Outer work necessary to remain creative: 1. How to know how much to share 2. How to know how crazy is too crazy 3. Must agree to be vulnerable to find yourself and/or to express yourself 4. Solitude is necessary 5. Experiencing life is also necessary 6. Things are different now. (Communication/feedback is so readily available that it makes it hard to just bumble along and/or to just be experimental. Temptation is great to get more followers/likes.)

What do you think? What did we leave out that you KNOW helps keep you creative? Leave it in the comments below.

Ep 152 What’s the MOST important asset of the D.I.Y. Rock Star Mindset Video Description

I just heard an recent interview with Les Brown (on the Every Day is Saturday Podcast). He said that the MOST important quality that successful entrepreneurs possess is to be skillful at telling a story (or at communicating). We take issue with this and propose that MINDSET is THE most important quality that determines success. Here’s why.

3 Reasons Why Mindset is the Most Important Asset:

1. Mindset determines your stamina to create and to continue
2. Must have something to prove (to yourself and/or to others)
3. It’s THE most important asset you possess (well beyond talent and opportunity)

What do you think? Is there something greater than mindset that helps determine a creators’ success? We’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Leave a comment below.

1. 8 More Tips for taking your own band photos (for D.I.Y. Rock Star)

Being a D.I.Y. Rock Star means wearing so many hats. Sometimes these hats are on a COMPLETELY different spectrum, vis-à-vis creating art versus logistics, so we’ve found it helpful to have a little bit of a method to the madness, so that you don’t become overwhelmed in the moment, nor overwhelmed to the point where you don’t even try in the first place.

Ep 151 I’d Rather be Awful, Than Be Blah…. Video Description

This topic is adjacent to a topic that it has taken us about 30 years to figure out, that the girl that’s ugly is more memorable than the girl that’s perfectly pretty. Hey, you’re just going to have to tune it to know what the hell we’re talking about with this one!

awful #sugarfit #prejippie #bloomingprejippie #movements #whosays #musicianlifestyle #artisticfreedom #diyrockstar

5 Points to Consider for Being Memorable Rather than Perfect:

1. Movements are created from the awful
2. Awful is memorable; blah is not
3. As long as awful is a sincere expression of something deeper, there is a sustainable future for it
4. Who says it’s awful?
5. What is lost when we are “perfect” (Who are you trying to please? Where is the YOU in that?)

What do you think? Can you be too ugly or awful? What does perfection cost you? We’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Leave a comment below.

1. Why are there so many jerks in the music business?! Video Description

We’ve said this before, but it REALLY hit home when we started the blog, I realized that the blogging community was so open and supportive, sharing resources, advice, and sharing each other’s posts. This was such a surprise to me, because we’ve been in the music business circles for three decades and folks seem to NOT do any of that. In fact, you have to find out about opportunities in the streets and you have to be regarded by people you DON’T know as worthwhile before the people around you locally will pay you any attention. And when we go to SOME music stores, we get treated poorly. It just seems as if folks in the music business are more cynical, mean-spirited, and just NOT approachable and friendly. This prompted us to ask why are there so many jerks in the music business?!

Check out the episode to hear 5 reasons why.

1. The value of investing in coaching (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star) Video Description

If you’re not aware, we’ve finally invested in music business coaching—something that, as D.I.Y. Rock Stars, we probably would have scoffed at just a few short years ago. While we don’t know what the outcome will be, we wanted to try to explain why it finally seemed important to go this route.

3 Reasons to hire a coach (for D.I.Y. Rock Stars): 1. Takes us from one place to another in our learning. (Is an investment in your craft—like school for your particular field—and is like a skip the line pass) 2. Confirms that music is cultural experience. 3. They have a perspective that sees moves you can make without the same biases that we have. (Their job is to bring their skillset to our situation. By figuring our assets, they are able to advise us on how best to use what we have in the systems they already have worked with.

Ep 150 Goals: Why less is more (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star) Video Description

This is a follow up to our “19 for 2019” (http://bit.ly/19for2019blog ) and our “20 for 2020”( http://bit.ly/20for2020goalsvidprej ), where we shared our plans for the year.

All we can say is that 2020 is unfolding and is forcing us to look at things differently to decide what is REALLY important. So, we’ve changed slightly in our thinking (as we are sure many of you have). We discuss the 4 reasons why when it comes to goals, less is more. (Check out the episode, so see if you have just the right amount of goals.)

What do you think? Can you ever have too many goals? What will that major list of goals cost you? We’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Leave a comment below.

Ep 149 Take a break? Why it's important for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

We know this seems counter-intuitive to many of the things that we’ve said, because we’re all about that D.I.Y. Rock Star hustle, but there are REALLY good reasons to step back every now and again, and to take a break in the action, for the following 4 reasons (among others).

Why take a break?

1. To figure out if you on the right path
2. To rest and restore (You are the foundation upon which your D.I.Y. Rock Star empire is resting, so when you don’t have a chance to replenish yourself, you are short-changing the possibilities for your own enterprises. Being able to allow
3. To spend time with your loved ones (life is short; you can’t afford to miss it by working so hard that you don’t spend time with them)
4. To decide if you need to pivot

What do you think? Are these reasons worth taking a break? Or can you tell us even more reasons to take a break? We’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below.

We’re focusing on health and wellness for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. This is going to be a different kind of challenge for us, but we think it’ll be a lot of fun and will get us in the right mindset to start the year right. 💥🧘🏾‍♂️🥳😊

1. Welcome to Blogmas 2021; Happy 200th Episode!

Mental and physical Wellness are critical to EVERYBODY, but I think being involved in ANY pursuit that asks you to bare your introverted soul to the public PROBABLY puts us MORE susceptible to turning to negative ways to “cope.” As with MOST things, we suggest you think ahead and have some strategies in place to keep you from drugs, binge-eating, doom-scrolling, and from depression. Lining up healthy activities and foods help keep you in the right mindset to feel better no matter how your art is being received. Also, we’re heading into a new year, so it seemed like a great time to think of new ways to live better. That’s what we decided to focus on for this blogging challenge. So, stay tuned for advice on health and wellness from fellow D.I.Y. Rock Stars. Welcome to Blogmas 2021!

1. Find a fitness regimen We recommend that you find a daily fitness regimen that gives you AT LEAST 30 minutes of cardio and some strength training. –Again, in a nod toward staying fit in the present AND in the future, try to get your heart pumping and your muscles flexing regularly. It helps you be able to do those rad live performance moves AND be able to lift the mic stand and be able to fit into those rock star-tight-type of clothes. So, get it in!

Ep 147 How to Handle Listeners who Receive Messages that You weren’t Trying to Send Video Description

This is a nice follow up to our recent episode 146, entitled “How Transparent Should Your Lyrics Be?” This seems to be a topic that has plagued artists since the dawn of art being shared with the world. What do you do—how do you respond—when the people who support your music receive messages that you were not intending to send? There are three good outcomes and three negative outcomes that we talk about today. (Check out the episode, if you want to hear what they are!)

What do you think? What SHOULD an artist do when listeners hear messages you don’t necessarily intend to send?

Ep 146 How transparent should your lyrics be?

Writing lyrics is one of our favorite parts of writing songs. There are so many different ways to approach it, so that you capture a feeling, a mood, or a theme. The question on the table today is how transparent should your lyrics be? We have a few ideas about this one.

Reasons to let lyrics NOT be too concrete:

1. Try to open the message up so that more people can connect

2. Try to be political, but not be specific (Everything breaks down to a relationship, so things can be interpreted many ways; the less specific you are, the more it opens up the message, but don’t want it to be so abstract that no one can relate to it)

What do you think? What strategies have you found for writing your lyrics? We’d love to hear about it. Leave it in the comments below.

Ep 158 Empower yourself in 2021(for the D.I.Y. Rock Star)!

Though these past 10 months have seemed like something out of sci fi movie—with many of us NOT feeling in control of what happens to us—there are aspects of your life that you ABSOLUTELY have influence over. That is related to the hopes and dreams BEYOND simply surviving; BEYOND simply having a roof over your head and something to eat. That is what we are talking about today. Looking beyond the necessities in life, what do you want to happen for you in this coming year. And what could you work toward, no matter WHAT is going on around you?

Looking forward: 1. New ways to work smarter and not harder 2. A style reset that retains my edginess but in new and exciting ways 3. To explore new tools and to implement even more creativity 4. Leaning into my strengths and shoring up my weaknesses

Keep in mind that these AREN’T goals; these are big ideas—objectives —under which goals rest. But these are the areas in which we want to focus on for the next year at least.

What about you? What are you looking forward to in the new year no matter WHAT is happening around you?

Ep 161 Prince Music Marketing Mindset Video Description

—I guess that’s the weird new thing for me is that I am NOT in awe of folks, like I used to be. Even—and maybe—especially listening to that behind the scenes Prince YouTube series—I realize that EVEN Prince had goals and challenges (including with influence and money and of the gatekeepers not believing in him and him having to figure out ways to push his own creative goals forward). And that sounds utterly insane to me, but it also makes me feel like a kindred spirit, since that’s what we’re doing on our level.

Here are 5 reasons that even though Prince has been recognized as a major label product, he is really an ALPHA D.I.Y. Rock Star:

1. Finding ideas to mold into a creative product (i.e. “taking ideas?”)
2. Always thinking about ways to get your voice out directly to fans
3. Pushing to do ambitious, beyond the pale projects (movie, direct distribution, branding, in front of technology)—even though his ideas ended up being antithetical to growing his online presence)
4. No ONE music business relationship is the end all, be all (instead there is a CONSTANT negotiation and partnerships with folks who will help you get a little bit further along the path you have set YOURSELF on)
5. Realizing that you set your OWN goals (and don’t for a manager or A & R rep to set them for you)

What do you think? Did you know that Prince was doing all that? We’d love to hear what you think. Leave us a comment.

Ep 163 6 Tips for Collaborating Better Video Description

Hey, it’s Valentine’s Day and we thought we’d spend a little time talking about togetherness. No, we’re not trying to hook up all our single D.I.Y. Rock Stars! This is NOT a dating service. Instead, we wanted to share some tips that we’ve learned over the years for collaborating better, whether remotely or in-person.

Here are 6 tips for collaborating better:

1. Go into it understanding that we’re all human and subject to emotions; money changes everything)
2. Keep an open mind (don’t take a song that you feel is finished into a collaboration)
3. As you work in a certain capacity—producer, arranger, etc.—come up a contract for future collaboration (even stock contract; retainer or hourly rate)
4. If folks contribute, you PROBABLY want just give a co-write to squash any future disagreements
5. Write down and agree on whatever terms or objectives you are planning toward
6. Treat others the way you want to be treated (be careful with how you talk to folks, try to exercise empathy as you prove your point, don’t blow up the relationship in order to win)
7. Be open to compromise (not caving in)

Of course, we are JUST scratching the surface, so what’s YOUR tip for collaborating better that we missed? Leave it in the comments below.

Ep 162 The better the gear, the better you will sound? Video Description

I know, I know…. Since you were a kid, you’ve been under the impression that if you get a Fender Strat—JUST like Jimi Hendrix’s—you would be imbued with magical guitar wizardry abilities. But we are sorry to tell you that this will NOT be the case. Here us out….

Here’s why the magic is not in the equipment:

1. Grass is greener

2. Gear itself won’t make you great (won’t assure you will capture what Marcus Miller captured in “Blast”)

But here’s what WILL make you great: 1. Trying new techniques 2. Constant practice 3. Learning as much as you can about your instrument

If you become better, that Fender Strat—or whatever you’re playing—will sound better.

What do you think? Is gear the Be All End All? We’d love to hear what you think. Leave us a comment.

Ep 165 How to stop an upgrade from being a downgrade? Video Description

This is DEFINITELY one of those D.I.Y. Rock Star problems. Have you ever seen ads, product reviews, and even testimonials for an app, a program, or a piece of equipment that promises to give you so much more than you have now, and then been disappointed when you ACTUALLY tried to use it? Yep, that’s what this episode is about.

8 Things to Consider (to keep your upgrade from being a downgrade): 1. Promises versus reality 2. Costs versus value 3. User-friendly? 4. Track record for reliability 5. Fall back? 6. Knowing when to quit the equipment and move on 7. Stay open 8. Be realistic with expectations

And we know if you have ever been wooed in by the promise of some new-fangled piece of equipment, this episode only touches the surface of your frustration. So, tell us a little more about your experience. We’d love to re-assure you that you are NOT the only one. Tell us all about it in the comments below.

Ep 164 Should I copy someone’s style? Video Description

You’ve heard the saying that “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”? Well, that probably works when you’re making pizza, but musical artists—and, dare we say, creators in general—want to be known for having your OWN individual style. So, why would you EVER copy someone ELSE’s style? It’s actually an age old question—whether to fit in or stand out.

Reasons why you might copy someone’s style:

1. It’s the first step to finding your own style. [“When you’re copying someone’s style, what you get WRONG is the YOU coming through.” (Paraphrased) -Art Juice 🧃 podcast (ep 92) (add link)]
2. When you want to add a twist on a style that you are ready to spice up.
3. To simply use as a practice tool.

Here is the TRUE key to knowing if you’ve overstepped the line: 1. According to Inspiration or Imitation? [92‪]‬ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inspiration-or-imitation-92/id1451530001?i=1000494552430 ‬ If you are trying to sell your copy as your original work, you know you are being sketchy or if you generally do not feel proud of this work.

So, yes, imitation has its place in creating your own art/music, etc. It can be a tool that can add zest to what you do. Too much of it, however, doesn’t serve to make you stand out as your own creative being. What do you think? Is it EVER useful to copy other folks’ style? Let us know in the comments below.

As artists trying to make a life with our art, it seems natural that we might ask ourselves if we are aware of it—or when—we are selling out.

What do we mean when we say “selling out”? We mean that you have started producing art that is more aimed at making money (and maybe even friends), that it does not align with your personal philosophy of artistic creation.

We’ve faced this many times in our 30 year journey of making music. (Particularly when we have tried to confine our expression to one still of music, typically to please the people we were around, so that we could open the doors to more opportunities.) And even though you’d think we wouldn’t have this problem now, there are times when we still stop and ask ourselves these 3 key questions. (Check out the episode to find out how to tell if you're a sell-out.)

Don’t get us wrong; we DO want to make money with our music (and we are VERY clear about that). But we don’t want to do it by doing things that don’t make us feel like we are genuinely expressing what’s inside us and of what is our original reason for wanting to make music.

Speaking of wanting to sell our music, our funk album “Sugar Fit “ is available for a limited time for $10 at the link in the description just for you! Click this special discounted code link to head on over and download it. It will be going up in the next few weeks, and will NEVER be this price again, so don’t miss out! https://bit.ly/BPJbandcamp

Ep 166 Viewer Question: When should I take down a song that I realize needs work? Video Description

This was our response to a songwriter in a Facebook group that asked if they should take a song down from SoundCloud. She said that it was her only finished work publicly available, but that she realized that it does not represent her well. She did not want this to be the ONLY creative product that prospective clients associate with her. So that’s why she wanted to take it down. I have an IMMEDIATE reaction to this question, but since I know that this is something that we think ALL creatives can relate to, I thought we would bring it to you all.

There are AT LEAST 2 trains of thought on this 1. “Done” is the new perfect. 2. Or tweak it

Two MOST important things to remember: 1. The bottom line is are you proud of the product (as a representation of your best work of that particular time frame). 2. You ALWAYS want work out there, though.

What do you think? What advice would you have given this songwriter? Take it down or leave it be? Tell us all about it in the comments below.

Ep 142 How AVAILABLE should an entertainer be? Video Description

This is in reaction to the Ellen “hostile work environment” claims by her employees—and even some fans—on the show. We have a few very definite opinions on this topic, but how available SHOULD an artist be to his/her fans?

These are some of the points of our discussion:

Why might folks think being accessibility is important: 1. Not authentic to her brand 2. Artists are more accessible now (with social media and bringing folks into their lives)

Why might you NOT want to be accessible? 1. Recoup your energy (you give a lot) 2. So that you can have a private life (people who disguises to go about in public, like SIA) 3. There are nuts out here (who can REALLY change the quality of your life)

Ep 137 Can Taylor Swift EVER Be Considered “Indie"?

This was inspired by The Volume Show on SiriusXM Radio and is in response to Taylor Swift’s newest album, Folklore, being referred to as “Indie.” This prompts the question, “Can Taylor Swift EVER Be Considered “Indie"?”

Questions: • What does indie actually mean? • Can Taylor Swift buy indie cred? • Can guests on the record imbue the indie label?

Ep 134 My music is "dated"; so what? Video Description

This episode piggybacks on Gab & Jam Ep 57, “What’s ‘retro’?” The topic relates to one that we overheard being discussed on SiriusXM’s show, “Volume,” where Larry Flick was talking about Evanescence’s new release. Flick mentioned that the new Evanescence sounds like the old Evanescence, which prompted him to ask what “lane” they fit in anymore. Flick said it doesn’t have a “lane” is because it’s “dated,” which we took to mean the derogatory incarnation of “retro.”

Ep 132 Getting Rid of Urban Music Category; Now What?

This is a response to the Callie Ahlgrim (from The Insider.com), “The music industry is finally getting rid of the term 'urban' to categorize Black music — but it's not enough.” The post discusses the idea that, in the midst of showing solidarity with Black issues, Republic Records—followed by the Grammys—called themselves getting rid of labels that simply group all Black artists, but don’t reflect the actual genre that they are representing. (The example is Frank Ocean winning the 2013 Grammy in the Best Urban Contemporary category for his “Channel Orange” album.)

Basically, as Tyler, the Creator noted, the categories designated for Black music is the only places you will see Black artists. Typically, they will not be noted in pop, rock, country, etc., and certainly not for album of the year. –The biggest example is Beyonce’s “Lemonade” losing to Adele’s “25” at the Grammys in 2017.

The question is does getting rid of the label, “urban”—a place where you would chuck ALL Black artists—going to solve the problem of this inequity?

Ep 131 Is Funk Music Dead? Video Description

We’ve asked this question in more than one way over the years, but because we are finishing up our funk album, “Sugar Fit,” we really need to figure a few things out about the prospect of launching this kind of product.

Is Funk Music Dead?

1. Only old music on many playlists
2. Other kinds of music with the funk label (dance, Jonas Bros.)
3. Nobody wants to hear it?
4. Are all the veracious funk consumers dead?

Ep 129 George Floyd Mourning: Ways Music Can Offer a Way Forward

It’s just days after the funeral and after all the officers have been charged in the horrible death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department. –Not to mention that we’re still in the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic…. It’s a lot for us humans of the Earth to take in. There is no way you are not affected in one way or another about any and all of this.

Our prayers go out to the family and our hearts are hurting for the people who see themselves in this situation. It’s like some people have become fully alive and awakened to the idea that racial injustice still exists.

As always, we love to offer some healing and hope, which is the impetus for this episode. Here’s how to use music/art/creative work to help you heal and as a way forward during this time.

As a listener: • You can find music that helps you process the angst you are feeling at this time by listening to protest songs. The 60s has quite a catalog to choose from, including the works of Bob Dylan, etc. You may want something like Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On?” Or even more current Gary Clark Jr’s “This Land.”

As a creator: • You can write music that helps you process your own feelings.

What do you think? Have you had a dialogue with people who have felt different from you? Have you listened to other people’s expression of their ideas on the matter? Further, have you written music to help express your thoughts and/or listened to others’ ideas on these important issues? We would LOVE to hear about it! Please share in the comments below.

Ep 128 5 Reasons to use a Pseudonym for a D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

While we’ve only been on our recent journey only a few short years, we have been artists our whole life. Part of that journey requires that we ask the question of whether or not we want to don a pseudonym or two in order to advance our art. This episode explores this weird and wonderful idea.

Here are our 5 Reasons for a D.I.Y. Rock Star to use a Pseudonym: 1. Expresses a multi-faceted personality (From the time I started realizing myself as an artist, I have changed my name to suit each phase of my development.) 2. Provides anonymity (Allows us artists who have day jobs NOT to feel that there will be reprisals for the honesty of our expression.) 3. Makes us braver. (Just like the cover of the internet helps distance us, so does a pseudonym. I feel as if I can say much more under this cover than I could without it.) 4. Helps establish identity. (A name can help brand one artist or project from the next. Before anyone even hears your music, that might have a notion about what they might hear based on your name.) 5. It’s fun. (I’ve always liked word-play, so partly, it’s just plain fun to devise new names that express what we’re feeling or the character of a project.)

What do you think? Should an artist use a pseudonym? We would LOVE to hear your thoughts on it! Please share in the comments below.

The older we get, the more we are willing and craving to know the historical significance of various artists and movements. Documentaries have been our way to tap into that knowledge in recent years.

Here are just some of the many wonderful music-based documentaries that we’d recommend that you add to your watch list. For more detailed information, the links are in the description.

Ep 126 Why are musical artists viewed differently from actors? Video Description

In terms of “authenticity,” there is a difference between the way we see a musical artist versus how we see an actor. We want to explore that in this episode.

The areas covered in our discussion include: • What do we mean? • Why is this important? • What is the impact? • How do you feel? To hear the full discussion, be sure to check out the YouTube video or the podcast.

authenticity #authentic #diyrockstar #prejippie #bloomingprejippie #coronavirus #quarantine #professional #artists #creative #passion #musicianlifestyle #albums

What do you think? Do you look to artists to truly bare their souls and express only what is inside them? Or do you care if they “sell out” and do things that are commercial in nature? We would LOVE to hear about it! Please share in the comments below.

Episode 125 What does it mean to hire a “professional”? Video Description

This is one of those recurring topics around here. You see, we are the D.I.Y. Rock Stars, which means that we advocate doing shit for yourself (and not expecting and/or relying on anyone else to get things done that important to you).

We cover: • What does “professional” mean? • Our history of hiring “professionals” • Our ultimate goals • Artist, Know Thyself

In the meantime, we are going to keep doing it ourselves (add in Facebook group link).

Gab & Jam Ep 124 How do you know when music is good? Video Description

This episode picks up on a topic that was discussed last week on the Volume show (on Sirius radio). They were asking if art should be “difficult” in order for it to be legitimate. —When we say “difficult”, we mean in multiple senses of the word: sonically difficult (maybe dissonance, etc.), ideologically difficult (as in deep, introspective, or political), reactionary (against the sound and ideas of the majority of popular artists), or complicated (in structure, like jazz). Check out the discussion. #music #good #artistic #bloomingprejippie #prejippie #gabandjam

To give a little context, they were discussing why each of them liked and/or disliked the new Fiona Apple album (“Fetch the Bolt Cutters”). And I must say that they did such a good job of piquing my interest in the record, that I made it a point to listen to the album before the week was over! I also took the opportunity to draft a quick and dirty review of the album (that’s available in the accompanying blog post on this topic; check for the link in the description).

Gab & Jam Ep 122 D.I.Y. Rock Star Rewind Quarantine Edition Grove Studios Livestream Interview Video Description

In this episode, we are going to share with you one of the partnerships that has blossomed during this Coronavirus quarantine period. The result of which was being a guest in our first livestream ever with Grice Studios in Ypsilanti, MI. (They run a rehearsal space, and now a podcast and livestream virtual coffee house, where they feature independent artists and share their creative processes).

Here is just a little bit of the hour and a half long interview with Grove. (https://bit.ly/grovefullinterview )

That was a little of the interview that was live-streamed on April 5, 2020 (during the Coronavirus quarantine).

Music videos featured in this interview: • Tell Me What You Want: https://bit.ly/tellmewhatyouwant2 • You’re My Hero: http://bit.ly/youremyheroprej • Something’s Wrong: http://bit.ly/somethingswrongvid

Don’t forget that even while this craziness is going on, if you can, you should be working on developing your online network by just being genuinely curious about people and places that you might want to partner with. —We started with Grove by just interacting with Erich, Rick, and Max on their Facebook posts. Eventually, Erich invited us for a private tour (http://bit.ly/bbbgrovetourvid ), and before we knew it, they were asking us to talk to their community about our creative process and about how we built our social media platform to 21k+ followers. —So it didn’t take much. What we are saying is to find ways to empower yourselves and then go into action!

That’s it and if you want to join with like-minded people on a similar path to you, join our Facebook group (http://bit.ly/diyrockstarjoin ).

Gab & Jam Ep 121 Coronavirus Evens the Playing Field for DIY Rock Stars Video Description

We’ve been fascinated by all the positive things people have been doing in the midst of this unprecedented crisis, including streaming workouts, streaming concerts, helping distribute food to those affected, restaurants giving away lunches to school children, sharing resources for how to spend time, sharing recipes, suggesting reading lists, etc. Celebrities and non-celebrities, alike, have been able to get our attention, right from their home to ours, during this unusual time of Coronavirus quarantine. We are ALL using D.I.Y. Rock Star methods of connecting directly with fans, which levels the playing field and provides the unexpected opportunity for us to make some progress in building our independently-based creative empires. And, while it is not our goal to preach at you, it is our goal to motivate you to do what you said you want to accomplish (which for many of us is to see some progress in building our vision).

5 Things you can do to start seeing progress in building your creative empire (even during this weird time): 1. Make a plan 2. Break that plan down into goals 3. Break goals into tasks that need to start/learn/do 4. Work on it EVERYDAY (especially now, since you may actually have time to do some things relating to it) 5. Track and celebrate every inch of progress

We invite you to join Facebook group, Be the Next D.I.Y. Rock Star (http://bit.ly/diyrockstarjoin ), for encouragement, resources, and for inspiration.

Gab & Jam Episode Ep 117 Haters are Your Elevators: Negative Comments are Your Proof Video Description

This is a follow-up episode in response to the trolls that where on our Instagram comments related to a free download that we were offering aspiring, fellow D.I.Y. Rock Stars, called “15 Tips for Better Band Photos” (http://bit.ly/betterbandphotos ). We have addressed part of our sentiments in “Failures Are Your Friends” ( http://bit.ly/Ep108failurevid), but this is yet another angle on receiving negative criticism. We also give you 4 tips for dealing with this. #haters #criticism #success #prejippie #bloomingprejippie #diyrockstar

4 Tips for Dealing with Fault-Finding Fans: 1. People don’t spend too much criticizing folks who aren’t doing anything. (In other words, this is your proof that you’re doing something that deserves notice.) 2. See if their criticism can help. (This is THE best revenge!) 3. Revisit your “why.” (This is so that you’re not tempted to get discouraged.) 4. Even if you are aware that you could have done better, remember our new favorite saying: “‘Done’ is the new ‘Perfect’” and get that shit published. (You can always do better with the next one, but don’t stop producing no matter what!)

What do you think? Have you turned someone’s negativity into a win for you? If so, we’d love to hear your thinking. Please share it in the comments below.

Gab & Jam Episode Ep 116 Shut Up and Sing: Cancel Culture and Artist’s Political Views Video Description

We are in a very different artistic/political climate than we have been used to. And it is true that an artist can risk his/her musical viability when they express their honest political opinions—either inside or outside of their art. So, given that there is much to lose by doing so, we have to ask—and answer—the question of whether or not artists should candidly share their political views.

Here are some examples of artists who have paid the price: 1. Dixie Chicks—that’s where the name of this episode is derived from 2. Neil Young 3. Taylor Swift 4. Gayle King 5. Kanye West

On the other hand, here are some artists who have benefited from doing so: 1. U2 2. Kid Rock 3. Ted Nugent 4. Eminem

Here are some things to consider when deciding which road to take: 1. Are you seeking the widest possible commercial opportunities? If so, you may not want to block yourself off on one political side or the other for fear of not getting mainstream support. 2. Are so steep in your politics that it expresses itself in every part of your art naturally? If so, then let it fly, because you are not going to be happy UNLESS you express it. 3. Take a position that you know won’t win you any fans from the opposite team, but will be wildly popular with your current fanbase.

What do you think? Do you believe it’s worth it for artists to express their political views in this age of cancel culture? Either way, we’d love to hear your thinking. Please share it in the comments below.

Gab & Jam Episode Ep 119 Coronavirus Quarantine? 9 Things to Do for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

As you may already know, our major trip for this year is to Austin, Texas, for the South By Southwest 2020 conference. Beyond just cancelling our spring travel and IRL networking plans, though, we have been advised—in this State of Emergency in Michigan—to self-quarantine for the next three weeks. At first, we were bummed out; that is, until we realized that this in an opportunity to do some really important things to help build our creative empire. Thus, this list of activities that we will be doing and we suggest you consider doing during this critical time.

9 Things to Do To Move Your Creative Empire Forward for the D.I.Y. Rock Star:

1. Take the time to reflect on your practices
2. Take time to take in some stimuli
3. Take time to draft a reasonable, but purposeful daily plan
4. Take time to celebrate small wins
5. Take time to learn something new
6. Take time to relax
7. Take time to clean up your creative space
8. Take time to revisit some of those administrative tasks
9. Take time to create art using the experience that we are living through

Gab & Jam Episode Ep 118 Coronavirus Canceled Our Trip; Now What? Video Description

As you may already know, our major trip for this year is to Austin, Texas, for the South By Southwest 2020 conference. Needless to say, we were taken aback, since just a week ago, South By Southwest had said that they wouldn’t cancel. Here we were, in the middle of packing and there was no conference to go to. The Coronavirus caused the city of Austin to declare a state of emergency and the conference could not go on.

As you might imagine, we have plenty to consider, as we are decide what to do next. We decided upon the following strategies that helped us change our perspective when major plans change suddenly.

4 Tips for Dealing with a Change in Plans: 1. Don’t over-exaggerate its meaning. (God wants what’s best for you and your creative empire. There WILL be other opportunities to showcase your ideas.) 2. Find quality alternatives. (In our case, we thought about going to other synch and/or music conferences, but we’re afraid that travel to it and/or the conferences themselves would be similarly affected. However, we have decided to take a creative and productive stay-cation, where we can refresh blog posts, landing pages, and clean out and organize our creative spaces.) 3. Start planning for next year. (Hell, yeah, we’re planning to attend next year! And the way it stands, there is a possibility that our tickets will be deferred for next year, if they honor their word. So, we’ll start early to get the hotel that we REALLY wanted for a better price than we were going to this year. 4. Keep moving toward your goals. (We’re not going to let this be our crowning moment; the fact that we DIDN’T get to South By Southwest and reminiscing over what COULD HAVE happened. Instead, we are focused on finding other activities we can do to network, partner up, and pitch our songs. We know that this is just a blip on the screen and that there will be more, more, more meetups, conventions and opportunities, if we keep moving in the right direction.)

Gab & Jam Episode 114 Two Critical Activities for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Description

While it is tempting to sit in your comfortable/cozy space and simply create your art, it is actually counter-productive to achieving your goal of building your creative empire. What do we mean? Check out the discussion to find out.

You MUST commit to a regular practice of both creating and promoting. –It’s not going to promote itself! –There’s this age-old question about whether a tree that falls in the forest that is NOT heard by anyone, if indeed it actually happened. With your music and with your desire to share the passion that you poured into it with someone other than your cat and your mom, you MUST commit to sharing it regularly.

Here are some tips to make sure that you keep your commitment to yourself of doing BOTH creating and sharing. 1. Schedule a regular time for both (creating and promoting) 2. Have a social media presence established that interacts with people in general (as a friend) 3. Also have a social media presence established that showcases your art 4. Look for opportunities to share your art (Facebook groups, live shows, radio play, reviewers) 5. Celebrate ANY wins (social shares, comments, placements) 6. Stay persistent (no matter what)

What do you think? Do you believe that it’s worth it to keep what you’ve created to yourself? If so, we’d love to hear your thinking. Please share it in the comments below.

Gab & Jam Episode 113 “Letting Go Will Get You Further” for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Description

While it is tempting to keep your art/music/songs close to the vest—for fear of theft, feeling vulnerable, etc.—it is actually counter-productive to achieving your goal of building your creative empire. What do we mean? Check out the discussion to find out.

5 Reasons to “Let Go” of Your Music 1. Helps you locate your tribe 2. Helps people find you for opportunities 3. Feels good to share your art with others 4. Builds your confidence in your creative abilities 5. Helps share your message out into the world (“die empty”)

Gab & Jam Episode 112 You Should Quit the Music Business! Video Description

“Quitting” the music business, for us, has freed us up to explore our art, connect directly with our tribe (both creators and purveyors), and has allowed us to have optimism that what we do really matters. What do we mean? Check out the discussion to find out.

So, here are reasons to create your music with—or without—outside “support”:

5 Reasons to Create Your Music 1. Makes you immortal 2. Helps you express what is inside 3. For mental health 4. To connect with others 5. What else is there to do that is as important than making something?!

What do you think? Is there a compelling reason to stay on the traditional path to find music biz success? If so, we’d love to hear your thinking. Please share it in the comments below.

Gab & Jam Episode 110 Does Artist Image Mean More than Music for the DIY Rock Star? Video Description

This post is in response to some snarky comments we received when we were encouraging folks to download our resource “15 Tips for Better Band Photos” ( http://bit.ly/betterbandphotos ). There were more comments that talked about how having “good” music was the best—and sometimes ONLY—way to find success as an artist or a band. It is our contention that against the cliché we’ve all heard far too many times, as consumers “We always judge a book by its cover”! How’s how and here’s why.

Here are some examples that help confirm our position: 1. Elvis 2. Beatles 3. Jimi Hendrix 4. Prince 5. Led Zeppelin 6. David Bowie 7. Madonna 8. Lady Gaga 9. A.k.a. “The world vs. Ruben Studdard” Effect

What do you think? Is there music that you like and have not been influenced at all by anything beyond the music? If so, we’d love to hear your experience. Please share it in the comments below.

Gab & Jam Episode 107 Goals “20 for 2020” Video Description

Our goal is to look at what we committed to improving—or starting—what we actually did and what we didn’t and, finally, looking at ways that we could have improved upon the results.

This episode is a direct response to a practice that I learned about by listening to the “Happier” podcast, hosted by Gretchen Rubin. Rubin co-hosted the episode with her sister, Elizabeth. It was so fun and inspiring that it seemed like a less intimidating way to set goals for the new year. So, I decided to try this with my buddy/my pal/my hubby, since many of my goals include him.

We’ve decided that the best reason to set goals for a new year—and, sometimes, these may take the form of New Year’s Resolutions—is to find areas of focus to improve upon. Further, the end of the year is a great time to reflect on your progress of the prior year and to set some ideas for improvement for the next year. Since we are all human and we are going to never be perfect, but we can become better at the things we care about if we set those intentions.

To refresh your memory on our goals from last year, check out our “19 for 2019” episode http://bit.ly/19for2019vid

We are looking to share reviews on upcoming episodes of the show, so please leave us review on your favorite place to watch and/or listen, including iTunes, Stitcher, YouTube, Amazon, Android Play, etc. We might choose yours to feature on our next episode! (Make sure you use #prejippie in your review, so that we can quickly identify it.)

Gab & Jam Episode 105 Tips for Mixing for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Podcast

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

The BIG Take-aways:

You guys can give US mixing tips! We really hate mixing, so…. The best advice we can give is to start with good, clean tracks. We solo tracks and if there is something crappy about it, we can fix it along the way. I like to start off with good clean tracks, so that we can pull up a flat mix without a lot of EQ, because the way that I recorded it becomes the way it is. It took a lot of trial and error. –We used to be folks that said we’d fix it in the mix, but now clean tracks are the secret sauce to a well-rounded finished mix. If you are using software, there is no reason to keep things that are not satisfactory.

You can use reference mixes to tweak your mix, but we don’t know what genres necessarily are the key standard, so we go with our internal artist monitor. If it feels right, then it is right. Even if something feels like it could be a, say, Prince sound, we may not want it sound like a Prince sound.

We like stuff that feels raw and alive, so if it sounds like it comes from the basement, we are happy. We want to keep our edginess. But we are also interested in remixes. If you are interested in doing remixes of our work, contact us at bloomingprejippie@gmail.com.

What has been your favorite episode of our 2019 Blog-vember episode? We’ve had so many, so it would be nice to know what you liked most.

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

What do you think? What other ways should be added to our next list for tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star? Please share your thoughts us in the comments below.

And if you’d like to partner up with us folks who make music that falls in a wide variety of genres, please join our Facebook Group, Be the Next D.I.Y.

Gab & Jam Episode 104 Tips for Songwriting for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to watch the video episode, click this link: http://bit.ly/Ep104BV2019vid30 )

The BIG Take-aways:

When writing a song, make sure that the parts that you assemble “speak” to us AND they need to serve the structure of the song. When we write the lyrics first, sometimes it is hard to fit them to music. So, there may be ideas that stood apart from the music that were grand and deep, but don’t pair with the music that we had assumed would accompany them.

Songwriting is a natural process, but lyrics can sometimes be the most difficult part to fit within the “story” of the music. Lyrics are like casting the right actor to help tell this song’s story.

As a consequence, we have a lot of unfinished songs, where there is music with no lyrics and also lyrics that have no music. Sometimes, years later, we will get a feel of how the two of them can meld together to form a song we like. (Songs like “So Much Better”—SoundCloud link: http://bit.ly/somuchbettersc are an example of this. It sat for 15 years before we were able to put the lyrics to it.) On the other hand, though, there are times when we are writing the music and the lyrics reveal themselves immediately and the song is finished in record-quick time. When that happens, the music pulls the lyrics out.

Our best advice is that, like a muscle, songwriting requires practice. Keep writing songs and you will get better.

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

Gab & Jam Episode 103 Tips for Playing Keyboards for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways:

The BIGGEST tip is to stick to the black keys! That is the way we wrote things for a long time, because it allows you to be free-flowing and not worry about “hitting wrong notes.” It has a Japanese flavor to what is created in that manner.

But, seriously, that is one strategy, along with the same advice for any other instrument. Spend time with it, learn chords, use YouTube as a music teacher. Try to replicate the feel of a piano, which is different than simply playing. Sounding like a pianist versus an organist versus a synthesizer player; the feel you choose depends on the effect you want for your song.

No matter what, make sure you are feeling the music you are creating. Make sure you are leaving room to connect with the musical vibe that is being communicated through you. Try to make sure you are a faithful conduit to what the spirit of the music and play what you feel. That is where the magic/connection/inspiration happens. Music is not like other art forms, because you don’t see it, but you definitely feel it. Awash yourself in your playing.

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

Gab & Jam Episode 102 Tips for South By Southwest for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways:

Here are a few tips to help you navigate the South By Southwest conference. (see blog posts for more detailed tips: http://bit.ly/sxswworthit and http://bit.ly/sxswobservations ) The minute they release the schedule—which they do on the app—figure out your schedule. There is SOOOO much to do, so you don’t want to get lost in the overwhelm. Stick to your plan. Don’t try to do everything. Stay focused on what you are looking to get out of South By Southwest.

—When we went last year, it was our first time and, though we thought we were prepared, it was so massive that we weren’t sure if we should ditch our plans to do other things. We learned that this is NOT the way to do it. What ends up happening is that it is hard to find your way back to your big objectives and might miss the moment in doing so. What is going to be your end game? Focus on that. Stay focused on that. We ended up wasting time on things that were not for us.

What we learned after sitting through things that we didn’t need to; if there are overlapping sessions that interest you, be prepared to leave a session that doesn’t seem fruitful if there is something better happening elsewhere. Position yourself near the end of the aisle, so that you can leave easily. Also, don’t be afraid to divide and conquer, if there are two or more of you.

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

Gab & Jam Episode 100 Tips for Traveling with Instruments for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways:

Here are our tips for traveling with instruments. We are recently on the lookout for a travel guitar, because it would allow us more options when traveling than we currently have.

We now have TSA flight cases for our instruments. We loosen the strings and check it when we get to the gate. Because it is a TSA flight case and locks, Bruce is not as concerned with how the guitar is treated by baggage handlers. Ideally, we would like to be able to have an instrument—along with the travel studio—in case the inspiration strikes, we can create a song as we are out and about in the world.

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

Gab & Jam Episode 99 Tips for File Management for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

The BIG Take-aways: Here are some tips when it relates to computer file management. If you are doing videos, blog posts, photos, podcasts, and songs—like us—you need a reliable way to store and to easily locate files to use. There are all these different pieces of a post that need to be kept together, so that when it is time to distribute them, you can find the piece(s) that you need. It is for that reason that we have come up with some systems to help do this. –Keep in mind, though, that these systems were developed due to the trial and error of not being concerned with this early on and losing track of quite a few valuable assets.

(For more, listen to the episode or consult the blog post.)

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

What do you think? What other ways should be added to our next list for tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star? Please share your thoughts us in the comments below.

And if you’d like to partner up with us folks who make music that falls in a wide variety of genres, please join our Facebook Group, Be the Next D.I.Y. Rock Star, where we share strategies, resources, mindset shifts, and growth hacks to help those who are trying to build a creatively prosperous life for themselves. http://bit.ly/diyrockstarjoin

Gab & Jam Episode 98 Tips for Playing Bass for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways: Here are our tips for what to do if you want to play bass. Our tips are similar to what we said in the Guitar Playing tips (see http://bit.ly/Ep97BV2019blog23 ). Get the instrument first, then start learning songs. You can use YouTube to serve as a teacher.

We learned by playing our songs first and then, learning others’ songs. Bruce realized that, if he could sing it, he could play it. He is not a perfectionist, but he replicates the “feel” of a song, which is all you need to get the job done.

Get a bass that feels easier to play. –You may need to have someone “set it up”; having the strings are lower to the neck makes it easier to play. –If you feel that the instrument is “fighting” you, it will be discouraging to play. Therefore, make sure you get a lighter gauge strings, because they are easier to play. Also, make sure that the neck is not warped.

You might want to go to a music store, where you can consult with a salesman, who can help you choose the right instrument for your needs.

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

Gab & Jam Episode 97 Tips for Playing Guitar for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways:

The biggest tip is to just play the instrument. Pick it up, crank up a YouTube How To video, and get to playing. Learn a few chords and, before you know it, you will know enough to write a song. Don’t be overwhelmed. It might make it easier if you start learning songs first, in order to learn your way around the instrument. There are a variety of ways to learn, so you should experiment in order to figure out what works best for you.

Don’t worry about the technical aspects first (notes, theory, etc.); learn a few songs, then you will learn the chords and your fretboard. If you are inspired to play, then surrender to the process and let it unfold.

Then, exercise patience and institute practice. Bruce keeps his bass and his guitar by the couch—in front of the television—so that he can practice everyday.

Finally, run your own race. Don’t worry about competing with anyone else. (see Ep 94: http://bit.ly/Ep94BV2019blog20 ) Whether you feel as if you know more or less than others, there is always something you can learn (and something that you can teach).

If you feel inspired to play the guitar, then do it.

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

Gab & Jam Episode 96 Tips for Traveling for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

The BIG Take-aways:

We have recently begun more international travel and these are some things that we have figured out that work. Try to be as well-rested as you can as you are passing through customs, both going into and coming out of countries. You need to be alert. You make sure your bags are customs-friendly, wear shoes that are easy to take off, and that you have your correct documents when you are asked for them. One of our newest tricks is to check as many bags as possible, so that there is less stuff to have to take through the security gate. You need to keep your composure as much as possible, so that when TSA agents—with sometimes thick accents—ask you key questions, you can answer with confidence and not get upset at what may seem like silly questions—when you’re standing there with your belt, your jacket, your shoes, your laptop, and all your luggage to get back situated. So, checking any bags that are extra heavy, awkward, or would mean just one more “something” to deal with may be your best bet.

Gab & Jam Episode 95 Tips for Pitching for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways:

How do you convince others to buy into your ideas? As far as we can see, there is no winning formula; all you can do is put yourself out there, as yourself, and either they are going to be sold or not. It seems that getting your work to others is the first key step in all of this. If no one hears your work, no one can book you. In that way, distribution and promotion are the cornerstone of your “pitch.” Perhaps this is more of a mass, passive pitch, but it has been the “winning” formula to build us to this point. People seeing us being active, putting out our work, and that has gotten us the attention that has helped move the needle in advancing our enterprises.

Many times people sell you things you already want, whereas with art, it may be more difficult to determine what they want, while trying to lead them to where you want them want to want. There is quite a bit of rejection in this business. This makes it hard to navigate trust of yourself and trust of others.

Being on top has its pitfalls for insecurity too. Even if people are falling all over you, you begin to be suspicious of why they are around you. Or there becomes that pressure to continue to give the people whatever it is that you gave them at first, instead of growing on to that next level. That’s what made a band like The Beatles is a phenomenon was the fact that they were able to continually metamorphous through each album despite the pressure to give the people what they had already bought into. The fact that they were able to be experimental and still commercial was incredible. Perhaps this is a side effect of a really different and vastly changing time in music and in society.

Regardless of what you pitch, try to stay true to and trust yourself whether people are buying your art/talent/music/personality or not.

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

Gab & Jam Episode 94 Tips for Competing with Yourself for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways:

Here are our tips for competing with yourself: This is ACTUALLY the prime way that we motivate ourselves is NOT to compete with ourselves. Instead of looking to others in terms of stats and achievements, we try to do our very best, which becomes our standard to beat.

Whether it’s writing songs, running, etc., we are trying to be better now than I have been in the past. We can’t run someone’s race, since our lives and expectations are so different. We know, personally, when we are being lazy and when we are challenging ourselves. Plus, it is only a false perception to feel as though I understand someone else’s journey. We do look to others for inspiration and for the initial ways to approach something, but once we understand the process, we break the pattern of paying too close attention to what others are doing, so that we can figure out what works and will might succeed for what we’re doing.

This process is more freeing than tying our success to someone else’s experiences. Our barometer for success is internal.

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

Gab & Jam Episode 93 Tips for Getting Video-Ready for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways: Here are our tips for getting ready to shoot a video. Not only do we need to come up with a topic—which sometimes requires research and consultation and notes—as well as thinking of what we will wear on-camera (to try to be impactful, fashionable and comfortable). On top of all of that, but as D.I.Y. Rock Stars, we have to concern ourselves with the technical stuff (like the cameras, the sound, the music, etc.) for the camera and then that it translates into audio (for our accompanying podcast). What we mean is that sometimes things that work for video do not work well for audio (which is one reason that we have not done a formal studio tour; it makes for a wonderful video, but won’t work when transferred into podcast form). (add in the video making link)

Bruce’s main goal is to try to stay spontaneous and natural on-camera. He does quite an excellent job of not over-thinking what he will do and he just flows with whatever questions that I bat his way.

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

Gab & Jam Episode 92 Tips for Productivity for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Podcast Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

These are our tips for staying productive: Keeping a list is critical—the HUGE list is the vision (Here’s our vision post: http://bit.ly/rockstarvision )—then, there are goals associated with your vision. Those are the ones you track monthly, weekly, and daily. I spend a chunk of time doing monthly planning (Here’s our latest “Plan with Me” video: http://bit.ly/planwithmedos ), where I take those vision goals and figure out what can be done in the month to move that vision forward. Things don’t just happen; you HAVE to invest this time to keep your focus and to guide your path. (—We’re in the middle of building our social media following and working on producing a new newsletter and I have to make sure that I include actions that can make those things happen.) Those steps help make the planning yield results.

Then, I go back to our monthly plan and break down each week. I try to be realistic and choose about 5 goals and plan at least one good hour a day for each of those goals. Though this seems like too little a time to do anything, it really does work. (Here’s our weekly planner download: http://bit.ly/bpblogplan )

If you are going to achieve anything within the music business, you will need to attend to the business needs of producing, distributing, and promoting your work. (Here’s our advice about D.I.Y. Rock Star branding: http://bit.ly/diyrockstarbranding ) Your music cannot just stay with you, you need to find places to share or to connect with people who are potential fans and/or particular partners. Start by sharing with your friends and family, and then finding more places to share your art, like live shows, etc.,

In the book we recently purchased, The Beautiful Ones, we realized how much Prince was concerned with his image and how he would present himself live. That is a critical component of growing your creative empire. You have to work on having the music, but on then to building your business empire. (Here’s the Prince Countdown: http://bit.ly/princecountdown )

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways:

Wow! This is a rather big topic, but we will do our best to keep it short.

New gear sometimes inspires us, but we also like to look to cultural trends—like Asian-inspired bridal gowns trend—for inspiration for looks for videos and for photo shoots. Or, as we’ve probably mentioned before, we get inspired by dialogue in movies—and I am constantly jotting down bits of phrase that I want to remember—so that when it is time to create, we have a treasure-trove of fun and waiting ideas to pull from. These become the seeds of ideas that will be revisited later.

As artists, we feel that we need to be open antennas and draw inspiration from whatever is going on around you.

Gab & Jam Episode 90 Tips for Grilling Steak for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways: If you have tried Bruce’s steak, you will never want to eat anyone else’s steak! We buy t-bone steaks, then Bruce beats them, and seasons them with meat tenderizer, seasoning salt, and pepper. Vox cuts up red onions that are grilled with the steak.

He gets the grill hot, put the steaks on the grill, and then Bruce flips profusely until they are done, which we think is pretty unconventional.

But these are the best steaks ever! They’re always tender and always flavorful, whether they are rare or cooked well-done, which is amazing to me!

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

Gab & Jam Episode 89 Tips for Purchasing Gear for the D.I.Y. Rock Star

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways: This is always a tough one. Technically, with my guitar and phone, I have enough gear. So, you have to ask myself when do you have enough gear or why am I buying gear?

Sometimes, the answer is complicated. Sometimes, it’s because I can’t seem to figure out how to use the gear I’ve got, or that I don’t like what I am creating with what I’ve got. So, buying gear sometimes can help make me more creative and I will freely admit that. So, just for the purposes of trying something new and exciting, I will buy something new.

Gab & Jam Episode 88 Tips for Weight Management Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways: “Move more. Eat less” This is especially true if you want to lose or maintain weight. Bruce looks at it as if it is the opposite of a bank account, where you want to end the day at a deficit in terms of calories burned versus calories taken in.

Keep in mind that Bruce lost over 60 pounds—and Vox lost 54 pounds—over a decade ago, so we have put these principles into account.

(To find out all of the "skinny," listen to the episode or check the blog post at )

Gab & Jam Episode 87 Tips for Discussing Politics Description

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways: It depends on who you are; if you don’t like conflict, then don’t discuss it. However, if you’re like Bruce, you like to hear—and discuss—all sides of the issue. Bruce can listen to the Trumpers and can listen to the Never Trumpers. As far as he is concerned, it is all bullshit—but not good shit (quoting the Fantastic Negrito). Sometimes, it takes talking to the other side in order to figure out where there may be some overlap in your ideas.

(There's more.... For all the tips, listen to the episode or check out the blog post.)

Gab & Jam Episode 86 Tips for Making Videos

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways: I am going to piggy-back on what we said for the last episode about studio management. Our main video making tip is to “Keep it simple.”

What I mean is that we have pared down to one camera for Blog-vember, so that there is less editing to do—Remember, we ARE putting up 3 posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post—so the video needs to be short, sweet, and less complicated than normal to edit and publish.

“Hit it. Quit it. Get on wit’ it!”

If your goals are like ours, where video making is not your jam, but it’s just a means to an end, then you need to figure out how to do it effectively, but as efficiently as possible and still maintain your sanity.

However, if you love editing (and the video making you do is a part of your creative process), then disregard this advice and enjoy as much shooting and editing as possible.

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

Gab & Jam Episode 85 Tips for Studio Management Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways: Our main management tip is to “Keep it simple.”

Depending on the purpose of your studio, you may have a different view of managing their studio. Because our studio is for songwriting, Bruce does not like audio engineering or mixing, so the less of it he has to negotiate, the better. Not fighting with equipment helps keep us in the creative flow, so to keep things simple helps us vibe longer.

However, if you are a gearhead and love collecting and fiddling with outboard gear and etc., you might really enjoy spending all day tweaking equipment. Bruce barely has any outboard gear, besides guitar pedals. (See the blog post for more tips.)

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

Gab & Jam Episode 84 Tips for Buying Guitars for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways: Bruce has bought guitars online and he wasn’t crazy about it. Even though, you may have a certain brand or model of guitar, you should play a particular guitar in order to decide if it’s the best fit for you. Each guitar is uniquely crafted, so each one sounds different.

There may be tons of Les Pauls out there, but each one is made differently. I bought a Les Paul online and it is okay, and I bought a 1974 re-issue of a Fender Jazz Bass and it never was okay. As opposed to a Fender 1978 Jazz Bass and even though the strings were dead and the action was high, when I tried it, I loved it. That bass is still with me today.

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways: We try to find interesting things to watch on Netflix and on Apple TV, as well as knowing what those around us are interested in. We choose from that list often. But there are pockets of 15 to 20 minutes at a time browsing for something interesting and inspiring, so that when we have an evening available to watch, we have a short list to pull from.

(See the blog post for additional tips.)

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

Check out this link for more on that ( http://bit.ly/2Lshana ).] Therefore, our blog is for sharing the things, tools, and experiences that we encounter that provide us creative inspiration.

Gab & Jam Episode 81 Tips for Staying Prolific Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways: Our biggest tip is to “surrender to the muse.” When you feel an idea, grab some tech or grab your guitar, etc. and put it down. Stay open to the stimulus around you and channel it into your art consistently. Pretty soon, you will find that you will have an over-abundance of ideas that are useful, when it is time to create.

Always stay open to share those ideas to the artists around you, so that the process can flow between you. Often you will end up with something completely beautiful and unexpected when you combine your ideas with someone else’s.

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

Gab & Jam Episode 79 Tips for Running Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways: If you have never run before, start off by walking. Then, alternate between walking and running. Using a treadmill, Bruce would run for 1 minute and walk for 2 minutes, etc. He did this in order to build up his stamina. He also started at a slower pace and then increase over time. In time, you will be able to feel ready to step up to the next level.

It was a while before I ran competitive races, but the standard was competing with myself and not with all the people around us.

Run at least 5 times a week, once you feel you have acclimated to doing it. In other words, stay consistent, even if you are simply running a 20 minute run.

Whatever you do, make sure you work up to it and that you stay consistent with it.

Remember, to make time for what you have determined is important in your life.

Gab & Jam Episode 77 Tips for Writing Lyrics Video Description

This episode is a part of our Blog-vember 2019 trifecta of three posts a day—a video, a podcast, and a blog post. This year the focus is tips for the D.I.Y. Rock Star. We developed these methods through our own decades worth of experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with a variety of things and share what has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

The BIG Take-aways: Lyrics are an important part of a song. The words provide a cultural connection by telling a story or making a statement. You want to clever, but not too clever. You want to be relatable, but not too trite. Also, the lyrics needs to fit the melody of the song. All this CAN make them difficult to write.

• Keep your phone/computer/device nearby (to capture ideas). • Use tools like thesaurus and writing dictionary to aid in your writing. • Keep a running list of titles, bits of texts, dialogue (which can be the kernel of an idea). • Collaborate to help move your process along. • Re-write when you find better ideas.

This episode is in response to a BMI newsletter post (by Jason Blume). The article is called “5 tips for Coping When Your Songs are Rejected.” Well, we tended to agree—mostly—with this post, but we added a few of our own nuggets that we developed through our own experiences.

We’re happy to offer some ways that we have dealt with rejection that has helped us move forward in joy and with peace of mind. If these strategies help you, then we are happy. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

His advice: 1. Remember that success takes time. 2. Get back in the saddle. 3. Wrote something just for you. 4. Believe in yourself. 5. Maintain your perspective.

Our advice: 6. Keep your vision in front of you. 7. Have short-term and long term goals. 8. Make a daily/weekly/monthly plan of action of what you are going to do to rush out and meet that success. 9. Enjoy the journey.

Gab & Jam Episode 73 THE Key to Music Biz Success Episode Description

This episode finally shares the bald-face truth about finding creative success. Needless to say, some of our D.I.Y. Rock Stars won’t like this one, but it’s the one factor that has made the difference in our enterprises very dramatically. If you are serious about your art, this is the absolute key to getting exactly what you want from doing what you love to do…. Stay tuned to find out that key. (Of course, if you prefer to listen to the podcast episode, click this link: )

Four reasons why/how this works: • Provides a roadmap when you are unsure and are not getting affirming feedback. • Provides a path forward when you are overwhelmed and don’t know what to do next. • Small gains over time will lead you to where you want to be. “You eat an elephant one bite at a time.” At least, that’s what I heard someone say. • Helps build your authority/credibility/brand over time, which will eventually pay off. We are proof of this.

What do you think? What other ways should be added to our next list for ways to assure creative success? Please share your thoughts us in the comments below.

Gab & Jam 69 Should artists own their own masters?

This episode explores a topic that has been brewing in importance over the last couple of decades. Many a musical artist has wrestled with this concept—most notably, Prince (in former years) and Taylor Swift (in recent years). In fact, we are responding to an article in Variety Magazine, entitled “Taylor Swift Couldn’t Buy Masters Without Signing a New Big Machine Deal,” written by Jem Aswad and we reference an NPR.org article (entitled “Taylor Swift's Former Label Big Machine Is Sold, Rankling The Star” by Andrew Flanagan and Anastasia Tsioulcas) for the details of Swift’s new arrangement. Finally, we wanted to know more about owning masters, so we consulted an article entitled, “This Is Exactly Why Owning Your Masters Is a Really Big Deal in the Music Industry” by Amanda Prahl on PopSugar.com. No matter how you feel about Taylor Swift and her situation, this is a topic is of importance to those of you D.I.Y. Rock Stars who are planning to lay your artistic foundation at the feet of a company to carry your vision even further than you feel you can.

These are the three questions that lead us into our discussion: • What are masters? • Why would an artist WANT their masters? • What is the likely scenario for an artist when signing a deal?

Gab & Jam Episode 62 Hologram tours: yay or nay?

People are filling up colosseums to see their favorite artists perform via holograms. With the passing of many of our greats, there seems to be an increase in the number of shows that feature hologram performers. We absolutely love the idea of celebrating the stage shows of those who have passed, so we discuss how this may be the way to keep their legacies alive. (If you’d prefer to view to the podcast, click here: https://youtu.be/77TyBEyVyO8 )

Here’s a Billboard Magazine online post that is part of the foundation for this episode: https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7717042/musical-holograms-history-dead

What do you think? Would you pay stadium money to see your favorite deceased artists play in a hologram performance?

Gab & Jam Episode 61: “Old Town Road” Number One for 8 Weeks?!

This one is hot off the presses. Everywhere we look, we see folks sharing—and, more importantly, listening—to Lil Nas X’s hit, “Old Town Road.” No matter how you feel about it as a musician/songwriter/artist, it has caught on like wildfire. What does that mean for those of us who create—and consume—music from now on? Check out our discussion. (If you prefer to listen, check out the podcast: )

Considerations: • Country genre??? • Is there an assumption that it took less talent? (took only half hour to make) • Impact on songwriters’ practices and what it takes to make a hit? • Country kerfuffle? o Resistance leads to support (Billy Ray Cyrus and our daughter) o Resistance leads to more hate? • Melody there? • “The inmates running the asylum?” • Weird example of the D.I.Y. Rock Star ethos • Appropriating cowboy culture??

What do you think? How do you feel about the massive success of this song? We’d love to hear about it. Tell us your opinion in the comments below.

Gab and Jam Episode 59 Waiting for inspiration is a sucker’s game Video Description

“Waiting for inspiration is a sucker’s game.” -Todd Henry

We used to believe in the idea that there were these magical moments, when a muse will gift us with kernels of creativity. However, the older we get and the more “life gets in the way,” the more we have come to realize that the longer we wait on inspiration, the fewer creative things we create. The hard truth is that if you want to call yourself an artist, you need to actively and regularly create.

You must actively be creating on a regular basis—inspired or not—in order to discover your greatest work. Thus, the more you create, the better you will create.

Do you have any additional wisdom about creating that has now become your go to advice. We’d love to hear what you think…. Please leave your tips in the comments below.

Gab & Jam Episode 60 Tapsongz.com Video Description

This episode is in response to a series of questions sent to us by Eric Rustad from TapSongz @TapSongz www.tapsongz.com . We are going to be featured in his music blog and we thought we’d piggyback on that opportunity by sharing what we shared with him with you. (If you prefer to listen to the podcast, click here: )

Takeaways: • We are a machine. And we do ALL the things (add in Ye Chen link). • We are a band (Bourgeoisie Paper Jam). But since we are a music production company, we are several artists, including bassist Tony Webb, experimental/alternative group The Prejippies, as well as former incarnations of a house music diva Jezebel and a techno group Synthetic Living Organism. • Here is a guest post that tells more of our story: http://bit.ly/2Lshana

Overflowing with creativity: • Song a week challenge (follow us on social media to hear weekly clips/songs) • Honey-dipped Acoustic Set (special promotion for Record Store Day; CD release; available after June 1, 2019) • Featured songs are from our “Higher Up. Deeper In.” album (https://apple.co/2YDEeF8 ).

Here are the questions we answered for the interview:

 1. Where are you from?
 2. When did you first begin pursuing music?
 3. Who were your favorite artists growing up?
 4. What is your latest project that you released? Explain how it all came together.
 5. Who is your favorite artist that you have seen live? Why were they so good?
 6. Do you have plans to tour in 2019? Where are your favorite cities to perform?
 7. What are your goals heading into 2019? Tour? New projects? Relax?
 8. If there was one artist you could collaborate with who would it be and why?
 9. How do you think the music industry has shifted over the last several years? Explain the pros and cons and how it impacts artists.
 10. Is there anything else unique or interesting about yourself that we should include in the feature article?

Gab & Jam Episode 57 What is retro? Episode Description

This episode piggybacks on the last episode—Are genres important anymore? In this one, we discuss whether or not the idea of retro music is a misnomer. What does it even mean anymore? What decade does it indicate? Terms like “modern” and “old school” provides those same challenges. We try to explore the ideas around “retro” music. You be the judge of how we did… (If you prefer to listen to the podcast, click here: )

Not only is this a topic that is near and dear to our hearts—because we write songs that are often referred to as “retro” (which has always proved difficult to classify)—but as we are more actively seeking music licensing work, we are set with a conundrum; how to determine musical genre classifications. Inevitably, postings will list a “retro” genre classification that not only do we need to fit the music that we submit to. That is one of the main reasons that we chose this topic. Yeah, so this is our take. You probably have your own ideas. We’d love to hear what you think….

Do you feel that “retro” has a specific decade associated with it? If so, how do you REALLY discern between them? Since we want this to be a discussion between you and us, we would love to hear your take on this topic. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Gab & Jam Episode 56 Are genres important anymore? Video Description

In this episode, we discuss whether or not categorizing music by genres is possible and whether or not it is beneficial. (If you prefer to listen to the podcast, click here: )

Not only is this a topic that is near and dear to our hearts—because we write songs that genre-bend greatly (which has always proved difficult to classify)—but as we are more actively seeking music licensing work, we are set with a conundrum; how to determine musical genre classifications. Inevitably, postings will list a genre classification that not only do we need to fit the music that we submit to, but also that seems ill-fitting to the song sample that is provided. That was the first and second reasons that we chose this topic.

The third reason is because recently, this has been a topic of conversation for a few of the many music-related blogs and radio shows that we listen to. Finally, we’ve been asking for several years now where does the music of a group like Twenty-One Pilots fit and haven’t really gotten a straight answer. Now, we’re starting to wonder if the need to classify by musical genres is necessary and if music culture has evolved beyond it. But that’s just our take. You be the judge….

Do you feel the need to focus on music genre classifications? If so, how do you REALLY discern between them? Since we want this to be a discussion between you and us, we would love to hear your take on this topic. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Gab & Jam Episode 55 Community Vs. Competition Video Description

In this episode, we discuss why there seems to be a stronger tendency for musical artists to compete with each other than to work together. (If you prefer to listen to the podcast, click here: )

The traditional notion of folks vying for a spot at the table or for that one record deal was what we had grown accustomed to experiencing. Folks didn’t share resources and strategies, because they feared that you might advance further than them.

There were exceptions, like the Detroit techno community and other small similar blips on the musical scene (like rap groups, etc.), but in general, this was not the norm. In fact, each of the musical friends that we have from way back when work individually to try to make their dreams a reality.

And because being successful selling your music is a pretty mysterious process and is NOT the type of business that you can just follow a roadmap and assure yourself of success, it is even MORE important to come together and lift each other up.

On the flip side, once we started blogging, I found that, as an industry, the natural culture is supportive and encouraging, and where folks freely share processes and tips with people to help them grow. It has been our mission to allow that feeling of community to infuse our practices, so that we help others in any way we can. The more we learn, the more we share with our community.

What can you do? Share a resources with a friend, join a group, share with someone who is coming along behind you. And if you’d like to partner up with us, please join our Facebook Group, Be the Next D.I.Y. Rock Star, where we share strategies, resources, mindset shifts, and growth hacks to help those who are trying to build a creatively prosperous life for themselves. http://bit.ly/diyrockstarjoin

Gab & Jam Episode 52 Have whites wrongly appropriated black music?

In this episode, dare we ask the question, “Have whites wrongly appropriated black music?” Though it is a question that has recently re-surfaced with a controversy involving Bruno Mars (who has been accused of appropriating funk), it is a question that has plagued pop culture for at least half a century. From Elvis Presley being dubbed the King of Rock to Gwen Stafani display of Harajuku girls to countless other examples, this question arises every time whites receive praise for some form that was originally dubbed as a minority form. So, yes, even in 2019, as a culture, we still grapple with this one.

Gab & Jam Episode 51 Can you separate the art from the artist?

This is a highly topical issue, as entertainers, like Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, and Michael Jackson, to name a few, are involved in some way in sexually illegal activities. There is a public outcry to cut all ties between them and the public, as well as their ability to make a living. So, we challenged ourselves to answer the question of whether or not, we, as listeners/viewers/etc. can separate the art that this people have made from the dirty deeds that they’ve committed?

What we discuss in this episode: • We stand against any form of abuse or rape or racist or illegal activity. • The list is long and growing…slippery slope? o (Prince is likely going on that pedophile list soon…) • Does it stop at entertainment only? Should be get rid of the $2 dollar bill, because Thomas Jefferson was a rapist? • List is likely long due to the type of personalities who seem to thrive in show business. • Though what these folks have done may be all kinds of wrong, we are all human and are going to do SOMETHING wrong…

In conclusion, where do we stand on being able to separating the art from the artist?

Let us know what you think.

Gab & Jam Episode 49 Are albums irrelevant? Video Description

In this day and age, artists are releasing songs with more of a singles mindset and the formal structure of an album is not something that is subscribed to. Artists want hits and that doesn’t rely on an album. However, the album, as a concept, helps convey a unified message of an artist and sometimes transmits you into another world of the artist’s making. Whose ideas are more culturally-relevant for today? You tell us. But listen in on this conversation in the meantime. Prefer to watch the video? Click here: https://youtu.be/13nRH9IewG4

Gab & Jam Episode 48 How much of a song should an artist be allowed to sample?

This episode piggybacks on Episode 45 Music of Today: Worse Than Ever? (https://youtu.be/FvB8G9ATj_A ) and episode 46 Steal my Stuff (https://youtu.be/O6ZIAuSbz7w ).

This episode harkens back to the golden age of rap—the early 90s—when rap producers created their songs from a collage of samples. Copyright enforcement has changed the way these types of songs are composed and they are less from samples and more from scratch than ever. What do you think: Should there be some new level of copyright use compensation based on the amount of a song is used and sampled? If not, how much of a song should an artist be allowed to sample?

A look at intellectual property (it's copyrighted the minute it is fixed), finding your tribe, ideas are not copyrightable, stealing is the best form of flattery, if someone else makes it a hit (they have to come back for more to keep it going), life's too short to worry, snd there's no bad attention.

A great benefit to freely sharing is that not only do you get to share your gift with people, but you have the chance to find other people like you with whom you may be able to share and learn from together--which I am starting to learn is a truly priceless and wonderful thing. You have folks to, even if virtually, hang out, share ideas with, and just vibe with.

Gab & Jam Episode 43 Musical Discoveries V2.0 Description

This episode is a follow-up to our first Gab & Jam episode (https://youtu.be/pqObIeyy5FA ), which nearly a year and a half ago.

As we worked on the “research” for this episode, I noticed a common thread with at least half of the artists represented here and that’s they represent some sort of cultural, ethnic, or racial mixture, and for the ones that don’t meet that criteria, there is usually a musical or a genre mix happening. We will try to point out those “mixings” as we share them and their music with you.

FYI: Most of the “research” came from Wikipedia (which although is NOT a reliable source, but is the first stop often when trying to understand something or someone).

Recommended Tracks (from this episode): 1. Mitski, “Nobody” 2. Meklit, “You Are My Luck” 3. Stromae, “Papaoutai” 4. Cake, “Love You Madly” 5. Tom Morello, “Roadrunner”

From last episode (Gab & Jam Episode 42 http://bit.ly/2D8fvAW ): 1. St. Vincent, “Los Ageless” 2. Sufjan Stevens, “Worst Christmas Ever” 3. Kacey Musgraves, “Slow Burn” 4. Dead Letter Circus, “The Armor You Own” 5. Ghost, “Rats”

YouTube Playlist: http://bit.ly/2M68ao6

There is NO way we could fit all the juicy information that we discuss in this video description, so you will need to head to the blog post in order to get it all. That link is: (add link)

Gab & Jam Episode 44 19 Goals for 2019

This episode is a direct response to a practice that I learned about by listening to the “Happier” podcast, hosted by Gretchen Rubin. Rubin co-hosted the episode with her sister, Elizabeth. It was so fun and inspiring that it seemed like a less intimidating way to set goals for the new year. So, I decided to try this with my buddy/my pal/my hubby, since many of my goals include him.

3:27 card for Marathon video (http://bit.ly/2F1rnXu ) 4:40 card for Why I Run video (http://bit.ly/2BTbwq3 ) Folks ask us how we get so much done. Here’s our answer: http://bit.ly/bpblogplan Interested in ways to “Manage Your Mindset”? Check this out: (add link) 11:40 card for SXSW Meet Up video (Here’s the link to sign up: http://bit.ly/2C30D6y ) 11:51 card for Gearfest 2018 (https://youtu.be/BieMBgbbMtw )

We’ve decided that the best reason to set goals for a new year—and, sometimes, these may take the form of New Year’s Resolutions—is to find areas of focus to improve upon. Further, the end of the year is a great time to reflect on your progress of the prior year and to set some ideas for improvement for the next year. Since we are all human and we are going to never be perfect, but we can become better at the things we care about if we set those intentions.

We are looking to share reviews on upcoming episodes of the show, so please leave us review on your favorite place to watch and/or listen, including iTunes, Stitcher, YouTube, Amazon, Android Play, etc. We might choose yours to feature on our next episode! (Make sure you use #prejippie in your review, so that we can quickly identify it.)

We had our first guest music reviewer this month. (Check out his post: http://bit.ly/2F1rQZK ) If you would like to partner with us as a guest, please email us at bloomingprejippie@gmail.com

Gab & Jam Episode 41 Who “deserves” to be on the Grammy list?

This video is actually a reaction to an article more than anything else, but it’s toward a topic that we’ve been discussing for years. It’s just that this particular article sparked that debate again. The topic is who actually “deserves” to be on the Grammy nomination list? I’m going to warn you in advance that this topic takes us down quite a few rabbit holes, but if you’re an artist, you will appreciate our thoughts on these matters.

Don’t forget, if you prefer to listen instead, this episode is available as Episode 41 as a video at http://bit.ly/2G8ayeR

First of all, thanks to everyone who joined us during our Blog-vember daily video, podcast, and blog posts. We really appreciate you all!

Also, thanks to Stephanie Belcher [Green Bell Marketing on Facebook @greenbellmarketing ] for sharing this post, which got us talking about it again.

The article we are re-acting to is: “7 artists who don't deserve their 2019 Grammy nominations — sorry” by Callie Ahlgrim Published on Dec. 7, 2018, 6:18 PM http://bit.ly/2L5ZMV8 cahlgrim@businessinsider.com @callieahlgrim

During our discussion we touch on the following points:

• “Grammy” vs. “American Music Awards” • Purpose of award shows? • What does it mean to have a best of? • Age-old question of art vs commerce o Vulnerability in creating art o “Experts” • As an artist, are you ever immune? It's the nature of the art (not merit-based; it's subjective) • The absolute bottom line is…..

Are there topics that you’d like us to discuss that relate to being an artist, being a musician, on finding and enjoying great music, or on particular creative tools that you’d like to see? If you ask, we will figure out how to get it done.

Thanks again.

Until next time, here’s wishing you love, peace, and chicken grease.

Gab & Jam Episode 10 Top 20 Prince Songs of All-Time (Part 2: Songs 1-10)

In this video (which is part 2 of a two-part series), we count down our Top 20 Prince Songs. Though this is a very difficult thing to do, we share how Prince impacted us and tell how songs were chosen to reflect our greater relationship with the idea of Prince as an artist, a musician, and a cultural icon during our coming of age.

To be completely honest, our list was originally pretty exhaustive and we could have talked for days, but for the purposes of being concise, we narrowed the list to 20 songs that span Prince’s entire musical career (but does not include those unreleased albums, nor songs he wrote for other people, nor songs he covered by other people).

In this podcast, we unpack a few cultural surprises from our recent trip to Paris. We also give you all a chance to suggest and/or join in for a meet up.

To be completely honest, our list was originally pretty exhaustive and we could have talked for days, but for the purposes of being concise, we narrowed the list to roughly 15 things that either surprised by being unfamiliar or eerily familiar about Parisian culture.

If a villain talks a good game--about pillaging lands and killing the hero--we think he (or she) should be able to deliver. If not, they go on the "Bad Guys Who Did Not Live Up to Their Villainy" List. We have compiled a countdown of many of your favorites, including Darth Vader and Valdemort. We have also given credit to the villains that live up to their talk--and more.

In this "Musical '"Discoveries'" episode, we will be sharing 10 musical artists who are a little off-the-beaten path, but who have inspired us in some way or another.  Either we have recently "discovered" them by appreciating work that they have already done, or we, literally, have recently discovered that they exist at all. Either way, there is something about their art that we would like to share, so that more folks can appreciate them too.

We are Bruce Theory and Victoria Moon (in conjunction with Prejippie Music Group, Inc.). We created Blooming Prejippie Zine to document our journey to summon our muse. The goal is to consume inspiring artifacts, deliberate and celebrate them, then spew the lovechild created by our previous influences and this newer stimuli; even while navigating “regular” lives. Yes, because even rock stars need inspiration.

Come with us. Be bold and blossom.
