I wanted to write a simple post, inspired by the article about Craigslist I just mentioned, with a simple link to a film trailer. It’s called The Girlfriend Experience, and tells the story of a high-priced call girl. The trailer is vague, but intriguing.
However, I accidentally searched “Girlfriend Experience” on Google instead of Hulu. Oops. Some results were… let’s just say “not about the movie.” Others were, though, and I opened a blurb Lane Brown wrote for New York magazine about the same trailer. It quips:
Be aware… her apartment appears to be located near a popular hangout for street drummers.
Funny. Then I read the first comment (by a first-time commenter):
Holy Mackerel! The drummer is Shakerleg! He drums entirely with his hands. He’s incredible. Google him.
Let’s follow that advice (after admiring the complete sentences and punctuation) and Google the man.
You can start by watching him on YouTube. It’s quite good. You can even buy his CD from iTunes or CD Baby. You evidently cannot read about him on Wikipedia. Even the Internet has its limits.
Thanks my friend. Promotional help on any level is always appreciated. Random search and found this page. Thanks for taking the time to share with others. Word of mouth seems to be the only way for an artist like myself to succeed in a world of lip syncing auto tuned computer generated music. The musicians are loosing their grip as the years go by. People like you give us hope to keep going and I thank you.
Peace!
