And by “bitches” I mean Microsoft. Remember when I wrote that Microsoft had selected my groovy track “Lorelei” to be part of a campaign centered on indie music and their Zune-pod?

Well, the campaign is over and “Lorelei” went all Hulk and SMASHED expectations. Reverb Nation and Microsoft had set a number of downloads they expected “Lorelei” to hit – well “Lorelei” did EIGHT TIMES that amount. Yeah, 8X that amount. Follow the eight-fold path bitches. If they gave me $5 for each download I could retire comfortably for a month. But they didn’t, it’s a flat fee. They gave me enough to update to Windows 7 or get the new Halo game.They’re cheap, but I love them now. No, you can’t borrow money.

Thank you for downloading! And thank you for the support! And thank you for being a friend! You’re the best Golden Girls ever!

More free music coming later this week, and more NEW music coming soon.

Friends,
No need to flog me. I’ve self-flagellated enough already. I’ve been away as other parts of my existence have become a little more time consuming.

On the plus side, my nourishing typing now features Alpha hydroxy and extra-enriched moisturizers clinically proven for very dry, flaky minds. Keep reading my blog and, in time, your minds will be more moist than Miss Piggy’s snout after a swamp tussle with Kermit.

Why the internet was made

Beyond keeping grub on the table I’ve been writing MUSIC. Much music. I aim to have a follow up to Driftwood released in 2010.I’ll be putting some demo tracks from the upcoming album up here for free download soon – very soon. Stay tuned!

I’ll put some more lotion on y’all soon loves. In the meantime, I implore you to work those rough elbows with the little droplets that come from following me on Twitter. (www.twitter.com/pheroze).

Well folks- on the eve of my going into a studio to lay down some demos of songs for my next album, I get the news that one of my songs has been selected by Microsoft to be offered as a free download for a campaign they are running for Microsoft Windows Sponsored Songs.

What song was picked? Well none other than my lovely ditty “Lorelei” – a song that was about 7 years too late to make it into consideration for Gilmour Girls theme music. And for that I am thankful. Yet tearful.

So here’s the deal – I must make it clear that Microsoft is not sponsoring me as an artist. They just dig that tune and want to give it to you for free. And they are not making me fetch coffee for them or  rub the boils on their feet or even make claims like “Ballmer pwnz ur ass.” Peter Moore did call and say he would have gotten my name tattooed on his bicep if he still worked there. Then he snorted and cackled and made my phone disappear into a puff of smoke.

Well, the song is FREE. So go download it by clicking here:

Even if you already have the song- be awesome and download it again. Even Clippy concurs.

What is Best in Life? Downloading Lorelei!

The first track off of Driftwood is now available for free download.

I’ll be rotating a few songs for free download in the coming weeks so stay tuned. Unless of course you already bought the album, which means you’re swell and you get hugs from the person directly to your left.
