2012 Review... My futile attempt to sustain interest.

Dearest Earth,

Not much to report right now. My ear canals are currently inflamed. Will this suffice?

Funnily enough I just sent out a few mailing list courtesy emails promising people that I wouldn't "be one of those annoying people that oversend mail outs in an attempt to sustain interest when there's actually nothing to report".

Oh the hypocrisy?  

Supporting "The Lovely Eggs"

Well I suppose the difference is that people choose to read blogs as of when they want to but on the other hand, they have little control over email inbox congestion. In other words I feel I have achieved justification to myself at least - especially seeing as though my last post was in October.

It's been a pretty good year though - supporting the Lovely Eggs and getting most of "The Aftermath" played on BBC Tees and Newcastle being the more obvious highlights.

Next year I hope to at least make a start on recording new material and releasing something or other, whether this be an actual album or a mini project of sorts.

For some time now there's been ten specific songs I've selected which are amongst my favourites of all the songs I've written. What I really, really want to do is record them and immortalise them as tracks.

I also want to make some changes on the website and begin a transition which quite frankly, has been a long, LONG time coming.

Gigantic.   A big, big, love.

P.s That Winter Jargon Media Player is on the menu to the right now.
Therefore, one can read about silly things whilst listening to the aftermath should one feel inclined that way. Loves. x

Download 'The Aftermath" by Winter Jargon

Hello Earth,
This week I have been mostly educating myself about image maps and sub domains.

In other words... there is now a new subdomain:

music.winterjargon.com

(which points to

winterjargon.bandcamp.com)

Here - as faithfully promised - is where you can now listen to, and download 'The Aftermath' By Winter Jargon

The 13 track album entitled 'The Aftermath' by Winter Jargon is now available to purchase for £6.99 or you can buy the individual tracks for 99p...

If you're feeling extra generous, or are conveniently in possession of more money than you know what to do with (here's hoping) - there is even an option for you to pay more - as much as you like for Winter Jargon music.

As for the image map? I had no clue as to what one was just a second ago, but now - inspite of my very limited web knowledge - I have my very own Winter Jargon image map... (See top of page.)

So for anyone who doesn't know, an image map is basically a website navigation menu achieved entirely with images rather than ordinary text links. If you want to integrate your band's website with your band's bandcamp site, then you may want to use an image map if you want people to be able to find your website pages through or via your bandcamp page.

And because I'm nice as well as being new to bandcamp, I will include this link to a very helpful website for the sake of anyone else out there wanting to learn how to do image maps:
