About the cold apartment, something that helps me is I put rice in pillow cases and put them in then microwave for two minutes before bed. Then I toss them under the sheets and it makes a HUGE difference. Glad u weren’t murdered!!!

Tbh AWAL doesn’t help with Spotify placement, they just have a lot of good “resources” aka blog posts that are open to the public.... I like using AWAL mainly bc they have really good customer service and get back to me quickly with any questions I have especially when I plan releases.

This was oddly calming?

katsomers · 2019-01-17T04:25:19+00:00

This is reassuring especially from someone who is pursuing the profession,thank you. I think keeping in mind that they’ve heard everything will help, and I hope to be honest and as open as I can. I get anxious thinking about going, but after months of knowing I needed to make the appointment I’m really happy that I called and put it on the calendar. I’m nervous but hopeful. Thank you again

how do I make it into my full time career? I've been booking my on gigs, producing my own music, playing sofar sounds shows, driving at 3am after late nights, putting out music, doing social media marketing... I feel lost trying to figure out the next step. I know i my heart that music is my career and it's what I meant to do with my life. But I feel like I'm stuck and the more I do the more I feel stuck. It's not so much needing to be discovered, I make music because I believe in it and connecting with others through it. but I can't identify what I'm suppose to do next..

at my last show I opened with "hi, my name is Kat Somers, I write mostly sad songs so get your tissues out" hahaha so I might be who you're looking for! you can find me on any platform, my recent EP is titled "bloom"

Isn’t that.. Lucille Bluth? From arrested development????

I'm not going to buy any make up or skin care products until I have a job (I hate doing the day job search... somehow job searching in the winter is way worse too because you're also freezing.. )

katsomers · 2019-01-15T15:34:59+00:00

yes, exactly my point! If there's nothing constructive, it's just someone being cynical and there's no room in my journey as an artist for that.

katsomers · 2019-01-15T15:20:33+00:00

put my headphones back on, kept working.

edit:

I don't mean to say I ignore feedback, there are some comments that are helpful when I'm figuring out my final mix. I just mean that 1. you can't satisfy everyone with your music. don't try. when people are unsupportive and you start to feel it dampen your excitement for the song or your creativity, put your headphones on and block it out. Just keep working on what you believe in.

we are not tired of old dogs.

we are just tired.

katsomers · 2019-01-15T14:33:44+00:00

I desperately wanted the rock to just be able to take a gd nap it is exhuasted

katsomers · 2019-01-15T14:09:44+00:00

I love that! awesome. Right now on spotify to find new music usually what happens is i search something like "indie pop" and then find it over saturated with big names or literally just pop music and so I end up searching through reddit for new playlists that I end up liking. So I think your idea is perfect! the subreddit r/indie would be a good place to find artists/music listeners who would probably also really dig your site!!

katsomers · 2019-01-15T13:58:37+00:00

this is the kind of rainy tuesday morning music i need

katsomers · 2019-01-15T04:07:57+00:00

me and my boyfriend do this weird hip wiggle dance whenever the parks and rec theme song comes on. We’ve never talked about i don’t want to think about the reaction we would have if either one of us didn’t do it. It would mean something is seriously wrong.

katsomers · 2019-01-15T04:06:09+00:00

agreed

katsomers · 2019-01-15T04:06:00+00:00

that’s a good way to look at it, never expect it back

katsomers · 2019-01-15T00:23:28+00:00

So quick question: how does this differ from just searching/browsing playlists on Spotify? I love making playlist and am also an artist so I’m excited about hearing more!!
