If you live in Singapore, or happen to be passing through, come support my friend Sam’s band!
One thing I don’t understand — and this is not a criticism of our friends and fans, I’m just really puzzled — is why people don’t download our music. People say really nice things about us, shake our hands after a show, help us out online, but downloads? <0.5% of other actions (plays, likes, shares, whatever).
I mean I download anything I can get my hands on, and usually that involves hijacking the headers from some lame Flash player, but I understand that I “have a problem”. It doesn’t make sense to me to say I like this, I want to see them live, I even go back and stream this a couple of times, but I’m not gonna download this free track and put it on my iPod… and this is exactly what people are doing. Help me out here.
edit: Yay, angry anon ask must mean I’m doing something right. I certainly don’t think we deserve any more (or less) than what we’re getting; I’m just interested in the psychology of it.
Well-Informed Wednesdays are f.o.c.
Our intention for Well-Informed Wednesdays is to share knowledge with everyone and have the Everyman be able to come into our bookstore and learn for free. The creatives who are keen on teaching or sharing will also be doing this volunteerily. It could be a physicist sharing about quantum physics, or an artist sharing about art movements, an architect sharing about architecture, etc. We would like to have topics that are as varied as possible.
Initiated and organised by BooksActually.Join facebook.com/wellinformedwednesdays for more information !
