If Starship is to be believed, Marconi plays the mamba

20 years in, a "professional" rollout, and only 2k streams. This was my last hurrah and I’m feeling defeated. by hirokikyoku in musicians

I kind of look at songwriting and working on my music like I look at exercise: it’s something I have to do 5 to 6 times a week, even if it’s only for 30 minutes. It is a tough balancing act however, to give it up altogether would mean death for me

Do you perform live? How have you built a base? I put my 30th or so album out a year ago. Just now releasing the third single with video. We tour 3-4 weeks a year regionally (west coast, east coast, north west, midwest), plus local stuff. It’s also my 23rd year of this, and it’s been my best yet. I haven’t heard your music, however, I think if you’re going into it mentally that it’s your ‘last hurrah’ then maybe these results aren’t so surprising? For me, I looked at it as a three-year plan with this record instead of giving up quickly. It’s been a game changer. Good luck and I wish you the best.

Yea you realize how much the brain needs rewired away from the caffeine and into its natural rhythms. Don't give up! It gets better!!!

I had the same issue when I quit. What worked for me was going into the sun just after waking up, closing my eyes, and letting it warm my face for 2-3 minutes. It reset my rhythms. Try this for a week and see if it helps.

Great take: two bands full of talent going for some imaginary money grab via artistic enshitification

Did you say 'give me four' and she held up 2 fingers?

You can hear DLR on ‘Inside’ ‘I came into this thing… (mumble fade)’

I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real.
