How many forums - how many blogs

Media_httpfarm1static_hrdue
Just how many blogs should a person have? How many forums should a musician sign up to? All in the interest of promoting a new song? My stepson, Paul, is trying to get people to listen to his music. He's only 14 and gets very focussed and obsessed with everything he does. You wouldn't say he's very musically-minded, but he wants to make tunes. He's not interested that they might need mixing properly or mastered to get them sounding good. He just wants to put them on the internet like me. He thought that people would just come across his myspace profile or his page on MP3.com and just his total plays would go up and up without any input or promotion from him.

MP3s and other updates

I've now added quite a few new things to the site that should make things a bit more interesting. You can now play some of my tracks on the music page, watch a clip from the O'Neill Deep Blue Open video that features my track "Croydon Library", and meet some of my friends and people who've helped me along the way.

I've finally bought the domain name mistrustmusic.co.uk. It's mine (for 2 years at least)! No more "blackburnt.portland.co.uk" in forums and directories! I toyed with releasing all my music under the name Tim Blackburn, but now I'm stuck with "mistrust". I don't think anyone else is using that name, so hopefully I'm unique! I know I sometimes sound like a Massive Attack copy, or maybe a bit of Faithless, or Leftfield, but I try to make original-sounding music, and not stick too much to one style, and try not to be influenced too much by other artists.

New mistrust website

Media_httpmistrustfil_fjvcg
Hello from Tim Blackburn, aka "mistrust". I've finally joined the land of "Wordpress" for my blogging exploits.... I've been on Blogger for a couple of years and just become fed up with the lack of options available. Wordpress is more flexible, more user-friendly than Blogger, and it's not owned by Google! I'd like to use this Wordpress blog to replace my own website, or at least integrate it into my site, as I'm limited with the lack of time I have to keep updating the site using Dreamweaver etc. Wordpress should be ideal to provide links to my music and other bits and bobs, so here goes....
