A small collection of black songs about those moments in life where you look at yourself in a filthy, cracked, blood-flecked mirror and the first thought that springs to mind is “Yup – file this sucker under D for Damaged Goods”.

I don’t get to just jam all day whenever I want (family man and all) but you HAVE to make time for it or your skills and your art wither. There’s plenty of time to sleep when you’re dead.

Check out the latest episode of Seamus.TV, this week’s episode is a fly on the wall look at my songwriting process in progress (otherwise known as jammin’).

Hi all, just a quick note to let you know that I have begun video blogging and I am McLoving it!

Seamus.TV – A Musician’s Guide to Giving it a Red Hot Go

To “give something a red hot go” is Aussie slang for giving something a try, for having a shot at doing something.

It’s  not about me preaching about “how to be a rock star”, that would be not be keeping it real – that would just be silly.

Rather, it’s a diary of me getting my music out there and generally raving on like a loony hopefully inspiring you to do the same.

So I’ll be making great music, having fun promoting the music (on and offline), and trying my damnedest to find a  bigger audience to dig my musical vibe-ola.

Yes, I still REALLY need to get a better camera. Yes, I have a LOT to learn yet about video blogging. No, I don’t think it’s better to wait until all the ducks are lined up: Real artists ship. Check it out:

Hi, Seamus Anthony here …

Just a quick note to let you know that you can listen to and then download my CD “Dogs May Bark” for FREE very easily, in hi or lo fi (i.e. lossless wav etc. or good old mp3) via this URL:

Seamus.bandcamp.com

Explore the site, there are some cool features, like the “share” feature – and I would very much appreciate it if you would use that feature to tell your Facebook mates, twitter, etc to come and grab my tunes free.

Here’s a taste for you right here, right now:

Over the coming weeks (months?) I will be adding ALL (ok – most) of the tunes I have ever recorded which is like, ten billion songs.

And then after that I have some new stuff to record and release.

Meanwhile – go! Download my music free!

They have made it easy for me now (the awesome geeks at Bandcamp.com) so look out!

As you can see from this video, transmuting difficult or painful experiences into action is a logical process for artistes, but can you do the same if you are not an artist? And if so – how? Go for a jog? Launch a new product? Invade a small country?

By the way this tune is not about a girl – it’s about addiction – a reoccurring scenario in my life, if not always a problem (depends on which day you catch me).

P.S. you can go here to listen to and download my tunes for free or here to buy my CD or here to buy it on iTunes.
