Landlubber's Delight

"That was our summer of pilgrim wandering. We wandered from Mexico down through the Caribbean, to the French islands, the British islands, looking for one square mile of ground on this planet where we could live quietly, expand our own consciousness, contribute handsomely to the country in which we live. But such a place was not to be found free from political or religious interruption. If, today, I could find one square mile ground on this planet, there would be several hundred thousand people who would be willing and eager to join our explorations. But no such place seems to exist."

-Timothy Leary

A landlubber is one unfamiliar with the seas. Many circumstances lead them to new places, places only a ship can take you. 

Spacehey is one such vessel. 

Spacehey has done me and my band an invaluable service in the age where most places on the Internet kinda sucks. It's all been designed into an amorphous blur of flashy tidbits. Scroll on. Dwelling discouraged. 

I remember with unrelenting fondness the days of Myspace. Yes, it was sometimes a hellacious maze for my social life, what with the revolving top 8 spaces. But I found A LOT of fucking great music I carry with me to this day. 

So here I return, not only a seeking after great music, but as a sought. My band Allision plays out of New Orleans and hope you find something you like in our songs. I'm CONVINCED no one would know about Meg & Dia if it weren't for Myspace. That's not to say they aren't great, to clarify they're one of my favorites. Just that having platforms like these is so important to music discoverability. 

And so I hope one day the same could possibly be said for Allision & Spacehey.
