Had a blast on the Dash radio discussing music marketing, the state of the industry and how the internet ultimately give you more control over your own life, business, or music career.

A special thanks to Dawn and Peter for having me. It was a lot of fun.

Don’t Be Like That

by John Oszajca on February 6, 2012

A number of years back I was bumming over some chick. Friggin chicks. And I wrote and recorded a song which was originally intended for release on my second album, ‘First Sign of Anything’. The album started taking a different direction and the track got shelved because sonically it didn’t really fit.

Well, last night I was digging around in an old hard drive and found it, listened to it, and was like, why the heck didn’t I ever release this thing?

I’m actually thinking I might go ahead and do that at some point…

Anyway, it’s called ‘Don’t Be Like That‘ and I thought I’d share it with you guys and see what you think. I dig it.

To listen and download the track click the play button below. The player is locked, but as soon as you scroll over it you’ll get instructions on how to unlock it. Takes 4 point 7 seconds :-)

Shoot me a comment and let me know what you think.

– John

December 23, 2010

From his poem, “A Thanksgiving Prayer”… Be sure to read on to my comments following his poem. “Thanks for the wild turkey and the Passenger Pigeons, destined to be shit out through wholesome American guts — thanks for a Continent to despoil and poison — thanks for Indians to provide a modicum of challenge and [...]
