Last night, I put a brand new song up on my Patreon site, available only to patrons. It's a scratch track and not release-quality, but that's where all my new stuff is going, and my plan is for it to remain there for a week before it's released to the Bandcamp site, if it gets released there at all ( Read more... )

Done yesterday:

set up BandCamp Page.
set up Patreon Page
put at least one thing up on both of those
