Roses and Overturned Ashtrays - Alan Lastufka

Julian made a music video for Alan Lastufka's spoken word piece "Roses and Overturned Ashtrays", the first release made by DFTBA Records.

Lyrics:
a girl - in her teens
stressed out on the hardwood floor
the sun shining through the blinds
laying stripes across her and the floor

no friends - no birds
just that weird ringing
when the house is silent
and your ears go into hyper-listening

This is really cool. Really beautiful but also very intense. Amazing.

[ItTakesII]

Thank you very much :)

-Julian

[fallofautumndistro]

Yay, that was pretty cool! Thanks for making that. =)

[ItTakesII]

They also have music on iTunes and Amazon :)

Are they looking into any other forms of tangible music manifestation? or just cd's? cause that may not be the most cost effective thing to do...

[0c4pnh4nk]

Well that makes sense. :) Hope you enjoy it :)

[ItTakesII]

Oh, they aren't taking demos at the moment, they only sign artists that they find or know so far. Good luck, though! My thoughts is they are signing people that already have a relatively large fan (subsriber) base, so that they don't have to build one in order to sell CDs.

I will checkout your song :)

-Julian

[0c4pnh4nk]

But of course.

I tried sending the one video I have of a song I wrote and sang on my channel to someone. I think Alan, or maybe Hank, but no one got back to me and then summer came :)

If you care to peruse it's called Sweet Rosalea :) If you do happen to run across it, let me know what you think ;)

[ItTakesII]

Well, for whatever reason you got this video, I'm glad you did :)

This new record label wouldn't happen to be DFTBA Records would it?

-Julian

[0c4pnh4nk]

I wonder if I got this because of some comments about wanting to get involved in this new record label fun, or if it's just because my username starts with a zero :). 

I really like the part with the blinds. Makes me think of blinding the audience with sunshine - oddly enough.

[ItTakesII]

Thank you, Hillary :) That's what i was going for.
