I love Google. Even more, I love Google Analytics. It allows me to track my site’s performance and see which sections need more work or what’s popular and why. I can even check referrers and trace IP addresses even if someone does a search for something like ‘free anonymous proxy’, I can trace it back to their original IP address and find my secret admirer that is so in love with me. It’s pretty classy.
So I go to check out what’s been happening the last month on lastfalling.com.
I find this little masterpiece:
Now.
I’m no doctor, but I’m pretty sure I’m not really hairy nor, in fact, a woman OR a reallyhairywomen.
I mean, sure, I have a decent amount of hair; mainly on my face to keep my face warm during these chilly 50 degree Los Angeles nights, but I am NO reallyhairywomen.
Everyone got that?
Good. Now we can move on to less important things.
New Artwork Released!
Now that we’re on the same page, Last Falling’s Facebook page has exclusive new artwork to check out!

This grungish sounding “single”, What You Wanted, is now available on iTunes for people who would like to contribute to the LF effort, OK To Disconnect, that will take full effect January 5th with the inception of Track 02.
What You Wanted is available for FREE here, but you wish to choose to support Last Falling with what we Americans like to call pennies, or pence if you’re English, then hurl some change at the strongly supported and decently crafted one man digital street performer.
It is exclusive to various online retailers such as iTunes.
12/02/09 Update: Depending on your entry, this image will act as my background and remain on my Myspace profile for the month of December. Check details below.
This is an online social networking photo challenge for peeps to submit a background image for the photo below.
This photo will be immediately placed in our OKTD Artwork Gallery and Flickr page. Your name will be credited in regards to the choice of background. Sorry, that’s all you get. I wish I could offer you a cool pastry of some sort but maybe if you live close by I can make you cereal. If you created it or photographed it, you will be credited in addition to the choosing aspect.
Basically, I’m looking for the most hilarious scene to throw behind my image. It will be up to me, Bryan, Mr. Ferguson, the Last Falling person, to judge which is the most hilarious and best fitted photo. I will then Photoshop your image in accordance to mine and you will be handsomely rewarded with bragging rights that your name is in the photo credits.
In each Last Falling video, you will find a weekly time lapse of the work done for that particular track. Text descriptions will pop up as to what is being worked on so you don’t have to guess or figure out if I really did pick my nose in that one frame or what it was I had to drink.
As always, lastfalling.tv will serve as your live evidence that I am actually developing the track that is going to be released that coming Tuesday. It’s a chance for you to peek in and check out what I’m doing. A fair warning, it’s really boring to watch someone edit tracks but you might catch something rare and exciting like a cat walking across the desk.
The YouTube channel is being utilized for a couple of reasons: one is to allow the full tracks to be available there, another is to give the YouTube community an opportunity to subscribe if they like what they are seeing and hearing. Since additional tracks will be updated weekly starting 01.12.10, subscription based sites like podcasts and rss aggregators are the easiest choice of self-governing freedom for you to like/dislike things for updates. You may like one song and completely think the other is worse than shit on a stick.
There’s a lot of people that are very interested in this project, I intend to make it as entertaining and fun as possible for myself and others out there. I really don’t care if you choose to hate or dislike my creative venture that offers music for free, voicing your negative opinions on the internet is counter-intuitive to any time and typing effort. Continue to fart into that wine glass and for the love of all things smug, keep feeling good about your life decisions.

You won’t find tweets from @lastfalling that detail when and where food is consumed, what location destination is going to be occupied by said poster, witty one liners and/or haikus, Ghostbusters references, or how Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990. What you will find are updates on free music, when new Last Falling merchandise comes in, and when new features are added to lastfalling.com.
Don’t fear the tweeter. It is grossly understood, especially by LF, that Twitter can be used to a fault. Rest assured, the only wild card will be photos of really really hairy women eating cob salads in compromising situations. You have been warned.
I wrote and recorded a handful of acoustic songs roughly around 2002 and never really knew where I could fit them into a record. I started kicking around the idea of having two music projects; one being a band and the other my acoustic songs. I wrote these 13 songs with a solo project in mind but eventually held onto them because I didn’t want to detract from the energy I was putting into Last Falling at the time.
I always envisioned Last Falling being the band name of a few like-minded friends who would share a common bond in maintaining a creative music project – I never thought of it as a selfish professional business or a name for myself. An epiphany and a few realizations later, Last Falling makes sense to me now. My songs are best left to my own success or demise. Open eyes are beautiful.
The current catalog of songs available right now spans 12 years, dating back to 1997. The podcast will continue to serve its function of updating you on what is new and when tracks (I have yet to find) are available.
Some are wondering why I’m doing this; why my past is up for grabs.
To them I say I am fulfilling my obligation as an artist to remain vulnerable given the climate of the music industry in addition to our horrible economic shitastrophy. There is no obligation to buy my music or any music for that matter. I love what I do and this is just a great opportunity to open up my vault for you.
I’ll personally keep you informed about what’s new through my little vortex on the internet and continue to deliver music the way I hear it.
