Ep 150 Goals: Why less is more (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star) Video Description This is a follow up to our “19 for 2019” (http://bit.ly/19for2019blog ) and our “20 for 2020”( http://bit.ly/20for2020goalsvidprej ), where we shared our plans for the year. All we can say is that 2020 is unfolding and is forcing us to look at things differently to decide what is REALLY important. So, we’ve changed slightly in our thinking (as we are sure many of you have). We discuss the 4 reasons why when it comes to goals, less is more. (Check out the episode, so see if you have just the right amount of goals.) What do you think? Can you ever have too many goals? What will that major list of goals cost you? We’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Leave a comment below.

Ep 149 Take a break? Why it's important for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Video Description We know this seems counter-intuitive to many of the things that we’ve said, because we’re all about that D.I.Y. Rock Star hustle, but there are REALLY good reasons to step back every now and again, and to take a break in the action, for the following 4 reasons (among others). Why take a break? 1. To figure out if you on the right path 2. To rest and restore (You are the foundation upon which your D.I.Y. Rock Star empire is resting, so when you don’t have a chance to replenish yourself, you are short-changing the possibilities for your own enterprises. Being able to allow 3. To spend time with your loved ones (life is short; you can’t afford to miss it by working so hard that you don’t spend time with them) 4. To decide if you need to pivot What do you think? Are these reasons worth taking a break? Or can you tell us even more reasons to take a break? We’d love to hear from you.

Ep 147 How to Handle Listeners who Receive Messages that You weren’t Trying to Send Video Description This is a nice follow up to our recent episode 146, entitled “How Transparent Should Your Lyrics Be?” This seems to be a topic that has plagued artists since the dawn of art being shared with the world. What do you do—how do you respond—when the people who support your music receive messages that you were not intending to send? There are three good outcomes and three negative outcomes that we talk about today. (Check out the episode, if you want to hear what they are!) What do you think? What SHOULD an artist do when listeners hear messages you don’t necessarily intend to send? We’d love to hear about it. Leave it in the comments below.

Ep 146 How transparent should your lyrics be? Writing lyrics is one of our favorite parts of writing songs. There are so many different ways to approach it, so that you capture a feeling, a mood, or a theme. The question on the table today is how transparent should your lyrics be? We have a few ideas about this one. Reasons to let lyrics NOT be too concrete: 1. Try to open the message up so that more people can connect 2. Try to be political, but not be specific (Everything breaks down to a relationship, so things can be interpreted many ways; the less specific you are, the more it opens up the message, but don’t want it to be so abstract that no one can relate to it) What do you think? What strategies have you found for writing your lyrics? We’d love to hear about it. Leave it in the comments below.

As artists trying to make a life with our art, it seems natural that we might ask ourselves if we are aware of it—or when—we are selling out. What do we mean when we say “selling out”? We mean that you have started producing art that is more aimed at making money (and maybe even friends), that it does not align with your personal philosophy of artistic creation. We’ve faced this many times in our 30 year journey of making music. (Particularly when we have tried to confine our expression to one still of music, typically to please the people we were around, so that we could open the doors to more opportunities.) And even though you’d think we wouldn’t have this problem now, there are times when we still stop and ask ourselves these 3 key questions. (Check out the episode to find out how to tell if you're a sell-out.) Don’t get us wrong; we DO want to make money with our music (and we are VERY clear about that). But we don’t want to do it by doing things that don’t make us feel like we are genuinely expressing what’s inside us and of what is our original reason for wanting to make music.

Ep 142 How AVAILABLE should an entertainer be? Video Description This is in reaction to the Ellen “hostile work environment” claims by her employees—and even some fans—on the show. We have a few very definite opinions on this topic, but how available SHOULD an artist be to his/her fans? These are some of the points of our discussion: Why might folks think being accessibility is important: 1. Not authentic to her brand 2. Artists are more accessible now (with social media and bringing folks into their lives) Why might you NOT want to be accessible? 1. Recoup your energy (you give a lot) 2. So that you can have a private life (people who disguises to go about in public, like SIA) 3. There are nuts out here (who can REALLY change the quality of your life) #ellen #celebrity #prejippie #bloomingprejippie #coronavirus #quarantine #musicianlifestyle #artisticfreedom #diyrockstar #firstworldproblems #authentic #branding What do you think? Do artists HAVE TO be available to their fans? We would LOVE to hear what you think about it! Please share in the comments below.
