Friends of the Trailer Park Girls, please bask with me in the golden sun of affluence and riches. A check of our Snocap account reveals that we have SOLD OUR FIRST TRACK!
Yes, someone out there - fan, friend, family member... - recently shelled out 99 cents to download one of our songs.
I can't tell you how relieved I am to to look at the balance of the account and not see a line of all zeroes.
Now I called it up and see that Snocap owes me my cut of - ta dah! - 60 cents.
Who says music doesn't pay?
According to the rules, Snocap will not cut me a check until I have a minimum profit of 20 bucks.
At this rate, I should be getting my first payment by September.
Of 2012.
This is as exciting as the day I received my first BMI royalty check for the Spokane Song.
For $1.80
As my song, "Fooled em Again" observes:
"Why are musicians addicted to pain?
"Sell our own mothers for some radio play.
"Telling ourselves that we're one break away.
"Looks like I fooled em again."
Vaya con karma!
