You Wish That I Would Write For You

Anybody have $5k to spare? I'd really like my very own Matthew Sweet song!

That's one of several incentives in his new Kickstarter campaign for a brand new "serious" album and "3D Art Project." Digital download, CD, vinyl, Skype call, a produced song, and a live house party are all available from between $8 and $10,000 as well as some original art. The custom song is a steal at $5,000!


Matthew is back home in Nebraska and needs your help. If Toad the Wet Sprocket can succeed at crowdfunding, I sure as hell hope Matthew does as well. Let's show him some good ol' Midwestern love. I'm in. You?

I'll Know It When I See It

I was going to post last week about Bleu's new Kickstarter project for his upcoming album Four, but he hit his goal within a day or two and then some! Congrats, Bleu. Still you have some great rewards if you participate in the project prior to the release of the album, including having the opportunity to write a song with Bleu! Go here for all the details.

Bruce at Not Lame posted his thoughts on the need for Kickstarter and more at his new social media project Rock and Roll Tribe. Read it here.
