Tim Where Are You Now? CD features Lovespirals

Lovespirals are featured on a new album. “Tim Where Are You Now?” by Sam Rosenthal of Black Tape for a Blue Girl was created to honor what would have been the 100th birthday of Tim Leary this month. It’s a collaborative album packed full of special guests including Lovespirals’ Anji Bee and Ryan Lum (on tracks 6 & 8). “PSY PHI love means High Fidelity” pulls vocal inspiration from the original Star Trek series theme song, and musical inspiration from the classic exotica lounge albums of that same era.  This song also features special guests Byron Metcalf and Martin Bowes. The CD is available on Bandcamp, where you can opt to purchase a digital download on the “Name Your Price” deal (meaning you can pay $0 if you want…), and it’s also available to stream on all digital platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube.

Money, money, money

Holy crap! I’m owed money that I didn’t even know about. Good thing Sam just forwarded me this NY Times story about Soundexchange. I called them just now and determined that they do not have Lovespirals listed, and thus I would have missed out on performance royalties for plays on Pandora, Rhapsody and many other sites and services that I know my music is included on. Since I get checks from BMI, I thought I was covered, but apparently there’s more than one company gathering my money up for me. Sheesh there’s a lot to keep track of when you’re an indie artist!
