Eric Ingrum's Project Blog

If you listen to the show or pop over here once in a while, you’re probably heard/seen me joke about Uptown. It used to actually be funny, but I think it’s started to have a serious effect on my overall feelings about humanity. I first moved to the worst neighborhood on the northeast side a [...]

I don’t write about music a lot because bands tend to really disappoint me. If you want to find challenging art that’s really doing something interesting, it seems that musicians have all but given up. I thought the new Gorillaz album would be the most interesting thing happening in music this this quarter. I’m excited [...]

I’ve been on a long beak from everything. I haven’t touched anything even bordering on artistic (besides Double Feature?) since I started a mad dash to pay off my student loan. Yesterday I wrote my lender a huge check, and long boring story short – I’m finally free of student debt. The repercussions of my [...]

I haven’t posted anything in a while. Long story short, I was in the ER a few weeks again and I’ve been recovering the last month or so. Whatever I had was probably stress induced, so I’ve been trying not to do anything that could cause even the smallest amount of stress. That basically means [...]

Now there’s a new audiobook of the Charles Dickens novel ready by none other than Mr. Curry [...]

Lately I’ve been obsessed with monetizing Double Feature. The podcast has always been a way for me to experiment with marketing and some other music-industry things without a lot of risk so I’ll kind of know what I’m doing when I finish the ZEP. How do you promote an album these days? How do you [...]

The ZEP is alive and well! With the AwesomeStart feature complete and the majority of Double Feature production out of the way, I finally have time to get back to finishing the album. The second draft of the lyrics/script/whatever is done. A few people were kind enough to record read-throughs with me, so I have [...]

AwesomeStart gets compared to iGoogle a lot. To be honest I’ve never really used iGoogle before, so I usually don’t have much to add to those conversations. I decided it would probably be a good idea for me to take a peek at though, so here are my reactions. If you’re reading this, you probably [...]
