> I listened to your music. I followed both your links. It's mediocre at best.

You're of course entitled to your opinion ;) But Mick Jones of Clash fame disagrees with you. My manager is in negotiations with him, along with the guy who produced a few Pink Floyd records, to produce our EP -- recording sessions are slated for mid-June. And it's most certainly going to be a notch above a Logic gig! I'm really excited about that, actually. The Signals will soon be broadcasting on all frequencies!

Plus, I'm booking the studio for three weeks, 24 hours a day, which means I'll be able to get my talented friend Ollie Ipkins in the studio -- something which would be totally prohibitive for him. His music is lovely; I've provided a link above. Even if you don't like my music, listen to his, he's the UK's answer to Ray LaMontagne!

So unlike the chattering classes here on hacker news, I'm actually putting my money where my mouth is. I invite Paul Graham to do the same and drop USD 50K on the business model that saves the music industry; from his comments elsewhere, he seems to think it's a very easy task indeed that is only hampered by the record labels being staffed by utter morons. (The fact that Guy Hand's hire of a tech honcho from Google, had zilch impact on sales, either eludes or fails to interest him).

What can I say? I wish you luck; that opinion was mine alone, and I stand by it, but if you hit it big chances are I'll come across your music again.
