I’m actually a terrible music marketer…

If you read my last post about songs I'm considering for Sci Fi Drinking Songs, then you might be kinda excited to see 19 tracks. In fact, there are two others I am waiting on and I added one more today, assuming I can get a decent recording. That's 22 tracks if all goes as planned.

What the heck am I thinking!?!

I met a marketing instructor years ago. She suggested that I do some split testing (that's a thing) to try and determine how many songs I should even have on my album.

The idea is that just because I have 22 songs to I can put on the album doesn't mean I should put 22 songs on it. In fact, it might hurt the success of some of the better songs to have THAT MANY songs on it.

Yeah. I know. She's probably right. And I will probably prune some of these songs from this CD when I finally get down to mixing and mastering. But right now, I want ALL o of them on the CD. It's just normal. It's not right… That sums me up. At least, there'll be a LOT of fun songs for you to enjoy.

Meantime, I'm working on the Best Irish & Celtic Music of 2013. The show should go online tonight.
