Help Me Get On Pitchfork (And Follow Me On Twitter)

In April 2008, I released my very first album The Dino Soars.

Months before, I'd been prepping by sending my music to all sorts of places to get some reviews. In the end, I got a nice handful of people who listened, and enjoyed what they liked.

Except for Pitchfork.

I sent them a copy of The Dino Soars and I doubt they even took a look at it.

So, I'm going to do it again, now that others have already reviewed my music; those guys at Pitchfork have no excuse this time, not finding any info on me.

So... I need your guys' help.

I finally set up my official Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/stegrex Come check it out and follow me!
(Thanks to Johnny Darko of Unfun Records for holding the spot so no one else could take it!)

Go to http://www.twitter.com/pitchforkmedia if you have a Twitter account and demand that they check out Stegosaurus Rex!

If you don't have a Twitter, get a friend who does, and have them hit up Pitchfork!

Or hit them up on Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pitchfork/28015075999

It's about time that these guys owed me a (probably crappy and negative) review!

Downtime

I've been sort of taking a bit of downtime from music recently because I'm looking for a new job, and I've also been spending time with a motorcycle I bought last fall.

Here are some pics of my 2006 Daytona 675. Built by Triumph in the UK, only about 2000 were made for the US market in that first year they released it.

It has a 3-cylinder engine, and you can see the top speed that I pulled a week or two ago. I don't want to really ride it too hard until the warmer season, when I can go out and do some track days (I hope I get a new job by then).

In any case, this has sort of been my new obsession. Okey dokey, time to get back to making more tunes!
