Session Notes:

Yesterday I heard the best album of 2011.  It’s by a kid from Toronto named The Weeknd.  He’s a 20 year Internet sensation.  U can download his material for free from Soundcloud.com/theweekndxo.  He has a couple of other releases House of Balloons (his first mixtape) and Thursday and Echoes of Silence.  Every so often an artist comes along that has his own sound and just stands above the rest of the world.  This dude is the truth.

It actually got me a little depressed for a second because his marketing approach is giving his stuff away for free and if he is giving his shit away why am I trying to sell mine.  I must have played the first song  HIGH FOR THIS at least 35 times since last night.   The games done changed.  This kid is blowing up cuz he’s that good.  And it all organic —  meaning it’s happening cuz people are feeling him and he’s doing consistent, credible work not becuase of marketing and promotion.  All that being said I’ve been re-tooling my whole marketing approach since I heard his stuff and how he’s getting it out there.

I’m glad my baby-making days are over cuz this is some baby making music for your ass (lol).
