Yeah, maybe investor is not the right word. I think patron would probably be more accurate. Although, the concept is that people are "investing" in the music, not so they can make a profit like traditional investors. They're doing it only if they believe in it. $10-20 isn't really a traditional inve...

I think the thing is that with public radio, the incentive gifts are just fluff for most people. They can be a nice little token, or even a way to be conspicuous about your patronage. But the real benefit and reason that people are paying that money is for the continuation of quality programming. W...

God, that would be am awful record wouldn't it? Brian Wilson meets David Bowie for a party at Michael's house? Scary!

I forgot to answer your question. My goals are: first to see if it will work. It is working. Second, indeed to have a document of my work for my family, friends and fans. Third, yes it's commercial.

And since there's no sales tax in Oregon, I won't be paying any taxes on these "donations" at all. I'll be lucky to break even. Really, they're just pre-orders. You couldn'...

So far I've raised about $700 from 25 people. I've contacted about 150-200 friends, family members and people who've bought CDs in the past. If at least 50 more of them come through, I should be good to go. I'm also playing a food event/fundraiser next month, so that should bump me up quite a bit. I...
