The band i played in when i move out to Vancouver B.C. like 16 years ago was called Knockin' Dog. We released 2 CD's the first one titled "Simplex" and the second "Chicken EP". Well our first CD got into the Jukebox at the Cambie Hotel and received a fair amount of play, so of course, always thinking, we decided to put a track on the Chicken EP called Super Knockin' Dog Jukebox pick... and it contained the whole CD on one track.
Now that the Chicken EP is on Itunes and other digital music download stores i have noticed that people are taking advantage of this setup... you can buy the whole damn EP for 99¢. I think it's great, the point is, or was, to get the music out there... and that's done and there is a deal to be had... although i have to be honest and say that the Chicken EP is the one body of work i am least proud of. I think there is some good stuff there but we totally lost our fucking minds on parts of it. It was my first experience trying to do live jam outs on a studio recording. I think you need to be on stage in purple fleece pants playing a double neck guitar and doing leg kicks to get the whole thing. When you are in a studio analyzing things it is never good.
I should do that with all of my albums... put a track at then end with all the songs on it. In the end trying to make money from music can take away from one's enjoyment of life... maybe i'll write a book about it one day.
