So I launched the web site on July 4th as I had hoped. It wasn't perfect but it was a beginning. I received lots of interesting responses from the email that I had sent out- some quotes have been inserted into the slide show. The one word that kept coming up was "cool", which is cool.
I have put Radioheads song "House of Cards" from their brilliant album "In Rainbows" (which I bought last week). It's a tip of the hat to them for making great music and changing the distribution model radically. I was warned that maybe Radiohead would get upset if I used their song without permission - but from what I read about their concept , is that they want people to create their own art with it. That is what - this is. I will send it to them so that they are aware.
A few changes have yet to be made but we are working to make it better as soon as possible. People have started to send in images of the images and we will be posting them in The gallery section. If you have any images that you would like to contribute please send them to me as "jpgs" and I will have them uploaded. Three songs are in production for the "Original Soundtrack" for the images, as I write this by friends of mine who happen to be incredibly talented also. I am very excited by he music aspect to this project. The rough cut versions of the songs I have heard sound every bit as unique and good as "In Rainbows" . I will be sending out an invitation to independent bands that I am aware of to participate in this experiment also. Just send in an mp3 file and I will run it under the home page images. The only thing I ask is that somewhere in the song (unless it is an instrumental song) the name of the image that the song was written about is mentioned...
The names of the images are:
1- Welcome to Fabulous Downtown Las Vegas Nevada.
2- Freemont Street Cowboy.
3- Strip Motel Pool.
4- Boulevard Hotel.
5- Your Future Starts here.
6- Viva Las Vegas.
7- Don Rickles Live.
8- El Cortez Hotel. (Meal Deals)
9- 24 hrs.
10-Topless Girls of Glitter Gulch.
11- Fun City.
All styles and types of music are welcome. It's 11:11 AM
THANKS
