Kickstarting Bleu
If you have been following me and my musical tastes for a while you know that I am into Bleu, a rocker from Boston who the brother of my Montclair host mom used to play guitar with. Last year, “Watched Pot”, some years in the making (or rights holdup), finally came out and he’s been busy working on the next release, scheduled for this fall. He launched a Kickstarter campaign to collect 8.000$ to get distribution going. And get this, within the first 24 hours he reached his goal, he now stands at 360%, almost 30.000$. The times have changed and my guess is he’s really happy that he has fans willing to pay for music. As I did. And so should you. Not sure what he sounds like? Check here and here for starters and follow @bleutopia. Oh, and help kickstarting!

Not the ones one usually get, like please look at your PayPal profile right away and login here http://www.spampaypal.com. No, things I cared about, like the subscription fee to Loren Feldman’s 1938media.com or my Amazon purchase of Lee Child’s Reacher sequel for Kindle for iPhone. So I called them up and they explained what happened. Since I didn’t activate the newly-sent card the account and thus the old card was blocked. I guess that is standard procedure let me say it out loud: Then the standard sucks! Because now more and more mails start popping up. Today, my Kickstarter pledge for Bleu got rejected, something I cared about. […]
