FILLED WITH AWE // How to handle cynicism
WSFC May 24th, 2009: Pastor John Fehlen
Scripture: Mark 2:1-12
Fueled by Jesus, filled with Awe!
I'll take this thesis and make you pause
U been there done that bought the tee
But He paid the price to set you free!
Raised in church now got Religious fatigue
Some fall back after being Deceived
Don't count God out by the heart of man
He never turns away, may be hard to understand
Who can forgive sins no man only God
But I know He can, now round of applause
Dropped jaws, the elders just lost all
Outlaws of the world preachin the Gospel
So many unashamed, but what's the reality?
Act like peas in a pod, a reunion mentality
More than clique, is your mentality suspicious?
We never did it that way before, how is this religious?
Jesus was a rebel, shaking the earth
Open up! There's no mistakin His worth
He's right here in front of you
Yet you don't know what to do
What is it that troubles you
Do you know what His love will do
You've been searching for the best truth
He is the ONE truth, He came down to rescue...
You and your crew, everyone you ever knew
Friends and family and your enemies too
Now it's up to you to make a toast
In the crucifixion is what we will boast
Now that's a bold statement turn my life up
Don't waste your life just like John Piper
Are you desiring God? Get out your box
I got a contagious itch call it chicken pox!

ADDITIONAL NOTES;
Reunion mentality: Outsiders feel left out
Religion mentality: Pharisees, Jesus knows what your thinking
Wnditwb mentality: We never did it that way before
We need a WNSALTB mentality: We've never seen anything like this before!
Cynicism Busters:
1:Having an Active faith
2:Having a Whatever heart
Mark 2:1-12

CCMvsCHH? No! Body of Christ unite, forget Industry its Ministry!!!
I am SOOO upset because of this article! Relevant Magazine
First off, Ambassador being dropped from Cross Movement Records speaks BIG about the label's integrity, and commitment to serving our Lord God. How many labels would hold everyone accountable to the standards of God? We need to pray for both sides on this subject, and pray that it furthers the Kingdom of God.
After the Ambassador news, Relevant posted this 'diss' about Christian Hip-Hop.
This is what I have to say in regards to the article;
As much as I hate being dissed for being a Christian that raps, I don't want to be mainstream like some CCM artists They have no originality!
Id rather preach Christ by saying you Dont need those 26s than telling ppl I have a God shaped hole in my heart. SMH. Engage people!
Dont just say what is simple minded and easy to sell records. For Christ's SAKE, we are NOT in competition & we arent tryna be mainstream
Christian Artists are not tryna sell the most records or outsell one another. WE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST & WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER FOR GOD!!!
I currently cannot find the link for the Hazakim song on CCM Radio, but the host basically slaps CCM on the wrist for not being creative or intelligent enough. They use Crucifixion Description as the Hip-Hop example of how to engage listeners and believers.
Also, The Ham Sandwich show did an episode on the topic of Christian Radio being RACIST. They bring up some great points to further this conversation.

Body & Tats RE: The Wade-O Radio Show
TO START OFF, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE AN EMAIL I SENT TO DJ WADE-O OF THE WADE-O RADIO SHOW. IF YOU LISTEN YOU KNOW THIS TOPIC. IF YOU DON'T LISTEN, HEAD OVER TO WADEORADIO.COM AND CHECK OUT MY FAVORITE PODCAST/RADIO SHOW/ETC.
THIS TOPIC BEGAN WHEN A LISTENER OF THE SHOW CALLED IN AND ASKED ABOUT HOW CHRISTIANS SHOULD GO ABOUT GETTING TATTOOS, IF ITS WRONG OR RIGHT, WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY, AND SO ON. EVERYONE HAS BROUGHT UP SOME GREAT POINTS AND I FIGURED I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY VIEW POINT AS WELL, IF I MAY...
Hey Wade-O,
I would call in but I feel I can express myself a little better by writing. I love the topics callers bring up, especially those which can go both ways.
On the subject of your body being a temple, that goes for inside and outside. If we treat our bodies like a temple, shouldn't we be eating healthy and nutritious food. Not junk food.
I understand God mentions we shouldn't worry about what we eat, but that's in the context of being provided for.
A caller mentioned tats can be for the love of the art and we could wear scripture on our skin to glorify God and share the gospel. I feel if we are concerned with tats, we should focus on our threads.
Think about SHOW EM OFF by Phanatik. He brings up a good point.
I could buy some Avirex jeans and SouthPole shirts for like $6 each (they were on sale at JC Pennies last week) but would that bring glory and would it be disrespectful to my temple.
Do we want our churches to look like clubs from the outside to draw in the world? Or do we set the example and show how to be respectable and representative to what we believe?
It's tough even as a Christian artist goes on stage wearing his clothes. Not everybody, but some people look up to artists or people in the light and see how they floss what they got.
Is it "swagger or substance"? (Copyright Dre Marshall) I believe each individual is called to do what God puts on their hearts. Follow Him, He will lead you in the right direction. And everyone thinking of getting a tattoo needs to pray on it first.
Bring a decision in your life before God and consider how it will affect our surroundings and brethren.
We are all a different part of the body of Christ, so we are not expected to all look and dress and talk the same. God is bigger than that. And he will use each tattoo to His glory, and each example and tattoo-less body to His glory as well.
I agree if it's an addiction it could be sin. If we eat fast food it could be an addiction. If we have pre-marital sex or other relations it is sin. So look at it like that too.
Treat your body right and how God intends for us to treat it.
And if you don't know what to do, we can take it back, and ask; What Would Jesus Do?
Can you see Jesus getting a tattoo.
REVOLUTIONARY
REBEL
or
GOD's SON
What of he got a huge tattoo on his shoulder blades saying I AM
That would look tight, but would it glorify God or would it draw attention to Jesus in possibly a negative way?
Blend in with the world?
Be sanctified?
Tough topic.
Thank you for your time.
Stay encouraged & be blessed!

Filled With Compassion @JohnFehlen
[5/3/9 West Salem Foursquare Church Pastor John Fehlen]
"FILLED WITH COMPASSION"
You wouldn't know what to do with them and you'd drive them all away
Your heart is filled with compassion and this is why you pray
If you reach out your hand and make an attempt to touch their filth
They will be cleansed by Gods love and their hearts will be filled
When you fail you fall short in your mind but God knows your heart
Fear not, go forth and do good anyway, today is your start
Tomorrow won't remember yesterdays blessings, today is a new
This might be a tedious task but blessed are those that follow through
Do you weep at this city as you overlook it from the heights
I pray the stars won't dim, your life has purpose like knights
You have a sword to slay dragons and a shield made of faith
Make no mistake take a hold of what you have and be great with strength
Even though we have left home for the city and it's dreams
The lies sound better than a parents disappointing screams
But as time goes by like the people we meet in our fame
We see hope failed but home still remembers our name
If we take that ride and journey back to our old home
We will be welcomed with open arms no longer will we be alone
Even though I've seen the flaws of authority where I'm safe
I am lawless without them and without them I have no faith

Mark 1:40

TreBorn / Spirit of Truth - Lyrics
"TreBorn" aka "Spirit of Truth"
[4/26/9 West Salem Foursquare Church ~ John Fehlen]
Sometimes it's hard for me to not dance
A musician staying still in a b-boy stance
I worship with my heart not my lips;
not my hands, I lift you up & I can't resist
The holy spirit flows the living water grows
The mind won't slow how many knows;
what God has planned expects of us
We fear being alone we manifest lust.
Lacking trust, thirsting for a rush
Skipping breakfast hungering for lunch
Were so connected thanks to device
But no relationships, we relate to the vice
How can you take the holy spirit put it in verbage
Neglect the trinity churches getting nervous
Some don't get it and take out the less
In who's mind? All 3 are best so blessed
I confirm I've been born not to conform
Not once not twice but three times more
New creature cool feature
Not a t-shirt to stay warm
Born to my father. Not yet treborn
Revived by the son as a teen still not treborn
Renewed by the spirit now I'm treborn
Entered 1982 naked as can be
Michael is the birth name that they gave me
15 year old sinner new to desire
Gave my life to Jesus so i had to retire
I feel so alive lilt the first time FREE
changed my name call me Myk Gee
Walkin' like I'm changed looking so strange
Sharing my new life with my new name
All I did was brag and boast that's it
But I stumbled and tripped as I backslid
Blessed, but glorifying myself
Stressed, destroying spiritual health
23 years old ready for full submission
Praying for a vision send me on a mission
at Mount Cross in two tongues I'm baptized
Finally I died I realized this is life
Key Scripture Notes;
John 16:13
John 14:16
John 16:7 comforter / counselor

NEXT TO HIM - Chris Treborn (Easter Song)
This Sunday April 5th, I will be performing "Next To Him" at Dayton Christian Church
I would like to share some extra details on this song. It is a journey. Following Christ to the cross. Consider it an Easter song. My poem of the Passion.
This is a song inspired by a few things;
The Beat itself...
I created this instrumental, it was powerful and moving, and I didn't know exactly what to do with it. I shared it with my friend Eric Swenson and he suggested I write about the crucifixion of Christ.
Crucifixion Description & Never Look Away...
It was weighing on my heart at the time, and I've been watching the Crucifixion Description by Hazakim over and over. I knew I wanted to give my point of view as if I were someone in the crowd, and as if I were the sinner on the cross repenting next to him. The first man to ask Jesus for forgiveness. I loved the perspective KJ-52 brought on the song; Never Look Away, and I wanted to add to the detail.
Comparing my life to the one I love...
Cas has this on her myspace; "If I can have any wish, and wish anything; I would wish to be a teardrop so I can be born in your eyes, live on your cheek, and die upon your lips." I loved it, and incorporated it into the song. I also ask questions that define the differences between you and I.
A Sermon on Transformation... (2 Corinthians 5:17 & Romans 6)
Cas and I went to church and the guest speaker touched on 2 Corinthians 5:17. That is the scripture that helped birth my name. She talked about simplistic concepts and ideas that personified transformation into a new creature. Being dead to sin and alive in Christ. She ended on the note of how a gross caterpillar transforms into a beautiful butterfly and flies away from its old life. It sounds so simple, but once you've lived this, it takes on a whole new meaning to you and you feel it in your heart.

LYRICS:
What is the distance between me and you?
Is it our religion or the world we refuse
are we the same if we’re both abused
is it life or death that we get to choose
I was in a crowd hundreds of people
watched him walking from the steeple
he pulled a tree to set him free
you could see the fruit I began 2 weep
sum people mocked him others just watched him
sum ignored him but no one stopped him
he was looked . Down upon
like a bum . Singing a song
he was so far but he felt so close
I mean I felt his energy so I froze
the distance was distant yet so near
on his face was blood, on mine was a tear
I feel separated, but I’m next to him
I see the distance but I’m next to him
arms stretched across he loves us this much
more than a touch - this is real love
I know this true, the kingdom awaits
our citizenship is beyond pearly gates
just passing thru as I’m asking you
can u feel him in your heart
or will pass on the truth?
I wish I was your tear born in your eye
live on your cheek before my demise
die on your lips sealed with a kiss
to be next to u I cannot resist
your presence I miss so I pray for u.
I don’t really know u but I really want to
I seek your face beneath your pain
I want to hear your story can u explain
nothing was said, just looked with one eye
the other was swollen as if he had cried
blood sweat and tears. Doubt fear n prayers
teaching and leading through out the last years
who wants to follow someone who dies
but we were surprised see how he rise
conquered the earth beyond the death
now lives in spirit af-ter the last breath
I feel separated, but I’m next to him
I see the distance but I’m next to him
arms stretched across he loves us this much
more than a touch - this is real love
I know this true, the kingdom awaits
our citizenship is beyond pearly gates
just passing thru as I’m asking you
can u feel him in your heart
or will pass on the truth?
filled with compassion fueled by love
I feel like a raven next to this dove
but he’s so dirty just like a bug
can’t see his face just needs a hug
know he’s had enough. He sed it was finished
tears from the sky as he diminished
I feel unworthy next 2 his royalty
he will feed us not like spoiled meat
why should he die before me? If he is innocent
I should ask forgiveness and so I repent
I can feel the distance we’re not so different
as I hang on this cross I’m not hesitant
I believe I will live. I will grieve I will give
he will rise I will ride. I will stride he’s my guide
caterpillar on a cross so many wonder why
this is the cocoon before he is a butterfly
I feel separated, but I’m next to him
I see the distance but I’m next to him
arms stretched across he loves us this much
more than a touch - this is real love
I know this true, the kingdom awaits
our citizenship is beyond pearly gates
just passing thru as I’m asking you
can u feel him in your heart

An undeniable voice in Holy Hip Hop - Tedashii
THE MOST OVER LOOKED EMCEE & UNDERRATED LYRICIST
Who is the most over looked emcee, underrated lyricist in Christian Rap?
In my opinion it’s Tedashii aka T-Dot.
I saw Sketch The Journalist post a question on Twitter - “What do you think Tedashii's impact has been on CHH so far?” I quickly e-mailed him my response; “T-Dot has made a huge impact possibly unseen! From features to hooks. I think he is the definition of Holy Hip Hop. (HHH without Tedashii) would be like the church without John Piper.”
Now, that is a bold statement, but I know it is true. Whether you know it or not, John Piper is a huge impact in the church. He even has created a movement; Don’t Waste Your Life. Piper wrote a book about it. He preached a 43 minute sermon about it on December 29th, 2003. There is a website dedicated to DWYL & you can watch video podcasts from DWYL on iTunes for free!
Lecrae made a song about it. In 2009, Lecrae and the rest of the 1-1-Six Clique / Reach Records artists are going on tour under the name; Don’t Waste Your Life. To help promote the Don’t Waste Your Life Tour, Reach has made commercials and posted them all over the internet. Now, think of this commercial you are laughing at. And realize it started as a seed from John Piper. A book or a sermon. But nonetheless, he has made a ripple effect, throughout the culture. This is how Tedashii compares to John Piper, but in the Holy Hip Hop culture. The seeds he has planted from one verse or a catchy hook, have been watered and will continue to water over the years.
WHEN DID I FIRST HEAR OF TEDASHII?
As I try to think of the first Tedashii song I ever heard, the verse (and hook) from Name Up comes to mind. Name Up is one of the hottest tracks on The Cross Movement’s 2007 album - History: Our Place in His Story. But there was a song before that. T-Dot was on Why Hip Hop 2K6. I bought the $5 promo CD in my local Christian Store in early 2006. The song is called This Song’s For You and it’s a straight dedication song. Come to think of it, Tedashii was on a few tracks from Lecrae’s Real Talk in 2005.
That’s where I know him from. The song Represent. Tedashii is also featured on one of my favorite songs; Aliens, as well as The Line. Represent, Aliens, and The Line are on Real Talk. Christ-in-a-Hip-Hopper.com or ChristianHipHopper.com features a giant mix of artists from Cross Movement and Reach Records. The song that gets stuck in my head every time is In Ya Hood by Tedashii featuring Trip Lee. As I became a bigger fan of Tedashii and Lecrae, I had to go back and get the 2004 release of The Compilation from the 1-1-Six Clique which features In Ya Hood and 3 other songs by Tedashii.
WHY I SUPPORT TEDASHII
In 2007, I attended a concert in Portland featuring R-Swift, Tedashii, Trip Lee, Lecrae, Da T.R.U.T.H., and Flame. I don’t know who was controlling the sound, but there was too much bass and you couldn’t hear any lyrics (unless you knew the words) from the artists, except for R-Swift, Tedashii, and Da T.R.U.T.H. This was a big turn off, but fortunately it got me loving Swift, T-Dot, and T.R.U.T.H. more. This was the main reason why I even bought Tedashii’s album and t-shirt at the show, and because his performance was the best.
Tedashii’s album Kingdom People is probably the best Christian Rap album I have ever heard and is only comparable to He’s Coming by Bruthaz Grimm (circa 1997). Every song on T-Dot’s album is on point and if I got his CD stuck in my stereo and could never play another CD, I would be completely happy. His music is deep, and motivating on all levels. This is why I wait, anxiously for his next album.
I NEED MORE TEDASHII IN MY LIFE
He can be most noted as a "Dirty South" emcee. Although, the South sound has a reputation, Tedashii is obviously paving the way with his style as if he were a part of Outkast - definitely hip-hop pioneer status. I strongly believe Reach Records is the Outkast of Holy Hip Hop. What Outkast did for Hip-Hop music, Reach & 1-1-Six will do for HHH.
Trip Lee’s 20/20 album was more than impressing. Each song is spirit filled and amped up. No two songs are alike. It’s an album I never get tired of hearing. If Trip Lee could step it up this big on his 2nd album, I am guaranteed Tedashii will do the same. Lecrae’s (Rebel) was among the top of the charts in iTunes. And although his album is highly rated in reviews, I don’t think it is as great as Trip Lee’s. Don’t get me wrong, I love Rebel, in fact I listen to it more than After The Music Stops. This will only prove to show that T-Dot has to deliver a phenomenal album. After all, it was pushed back a few times. It has been postponed for almost a year now. The eyes of HHH is upon T-Dot.
I’ve been hearing nothing but a single verse from my favorite Christian Rapper lately. A verse here and there is not enough for me. I need 110% more Tedashii music. This is why I am taking the time to talk about my favorite artist. I pray all of you will be blessed by his music. Hopefully, you can pick up his album Identity Crisis - due out May 19th. Look for more press and publicity from other HHH media and outlets.
MORE RELEASES FROM T-DOT
Probably not known to many people, 1-1-Six released a rock infused album called AMPED featuring remixes of some of the best songs from Lecrae, Trip Lee, and Tedashii. The album was advertized on MySpace - that’s how I heard about it. And even though it featured only 6 tracks, there were 3 new songs; Red Revolution by Tedashii which is most likely a promotion for RedRevolution.com, Beyond Belief by Lecrae, and Amped by Trip Lee. A perfect album for any 1-1-Six fanatic, especially if you like rock and/or remixes.
An album I had anticipation for was Lecrae’s After The Music Stops in 2006. Although T-Dot was featured on 3 songs from Lecrae’s previous album, this album contained only a hook and verse on the song Unashamed. One month earlier, Trip Lee released his debut album If They Only Knew which contained two songs with Tedashii.
But I think Unashamed as well as Name Up help define who Tedashii is as an influential Christian Hip Hop Artist. His hooks are so memorable and his verses are so filled with content, you have to go back and listen to the track over and over again.
After the Holy Hip Hop Industry heard Unashamed they knew Tedashii could offer an unforgettable song. In 2007 he was also featured on Flame’s song Shinin’, Phanatik’s song North & South, and Sho Baraka’s song Maranatha, and Cam’s song Back Up. Then, 1-1-Six dropped another amazing compilation called 13 Letters which features 4 songs with Tedashii.
Finally, in 2008 Tedashii had a verse on; Dillon Chase’s Walk Worthy, Json’s Listening Choice, Trip Lee’s Real Vision, and Lecrae’s Go Hard. I somehow came across a song on imeem.com called Transformers and featured a verse from Lecrae, Tedashii, and Trip Lee. I guess this was supposed to help promote his album which was going to be released in the summer of 2008. Sadly, his album Identity Crisis got pushed back till April, then again till May 19th, 2009.

Who is the most over looked emcee, underrated lyricist in Christian Rap?
In my opinion it’s Tedashii aka T-Dot.
I saw Sketch The Journalist post a question on Twitter - “What do you think Tedashii's impact has been on CHH so far?” I quickly e-mailed him my response; “T-Dot has made a huge impact possibly unseen! From features to hooks. I think he is the definition of Holy Hip Hop. (HHH without Tedashii) would be like the church without John Piper.”
Now, that is a bold statement, but I know it is true. Whether you know it or not, John Piper is a huge impact in the church. He even has created a movement; Don’t Waste Your Life. Piper wrote a book about it. He preached a 43 minute sermon about it on December 29th, 2003. There is a website dedicated to DWYL & you can watch video podcasts from DWYL on iTunes for free!
Lecrae made a song about it. In 2009, Lecrae and the rest of the 1-1-Six Clique / Reach Records artists are going on tour under the name; Don’t Waste Your Life. To help promote the Don’t Waste Your Life Tour, Reach has made commercials and posted them all over the internet. Now, think of this commercial you are laughing at. And realize it started as a seed from John Piper. A book or a sermon. But nonetheless, he has made a ripple effect, throughout the culture. This is how Tedashii compares to John Piper, but in the Holy Hip Hop culture. The seeds he has planted from one verse or a catchy hook, have been watered and will continue to water over the years.
WHEN DID I FIRST HEAR OF TEDASHII?
As I try to think of the first Tedashii song I ever heard, the verse (and hook) from Name Up comes to mind. Name Up is one of the hottest tracks on The Cross Movement’s 2007 album - History: Our Place in His Story. But there was a song before that. T-Dot was on Why Hip Hop 2K6. I bought the $5 promo CD in my local Christian Store in early 2006. The song is called This Song’s For You and it’s a straight dedication song. Come to think of it, Tedashii was on a few tracks from Lecrae’s Real Talk in 2005.
That’s where I know him from. The song Represent. Tedashii is also featured on one of my favorite songs; Aliens, as well as The Line. Represent, Aliens, and The Line are on Real Talk. Christ-in-a-Hip-Hopper.com or ChristianHipHopper.com features a giant mix of artists from Cross Movement and Reach Records. The song that gets stuck in my head every time is In Ya Hood by Tedashii featuring Trip Lee. As I became a bigger fan of Tedashii and Lecrae, I had to go back and get the 2004 release of The Compilation from the 1-1-Six Clique which features In Ya Hood and 3 other songs by Tedashii.
WHY I SUPPORT TEDASHII
In 2007, I attended a concert in Portland featuring R-Swift, Tedashii, Trip Lee, Lecrae, Da T.R.U.T.H., and Flame.

Who Watches The Watchmen?
WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN...
Hate it or love it, Watchmen is on everyone's mind. After topping the box office with $55.7 M opening weekend, everyone wants to know why. Anyone that has read it knows every detail, every character, every upcoming scene, frame for frame. Obviously, these fanatics brought their friends with them to the movie.
Over the weekend Twitter and Facebook had post after post about Watchmen. Some were disgruntled, and some were ecstatic. Nevertheless, Watchmen is the most talked about thing this week.
With that being said, I'll give you the top 10 reasons why you will hate or love the Watchmen movie.
You will HATE IT because;
- this is NOT a family friendly movie.
- there isn't action scene after action scene.
- no one has super Powers.
- the good guys don't win in the end.
- the good guys are the bad guys.
And you will LOVE IT because;
- this is not a FAMILY friendly movie.
- the characters are realistic.
- no one has Super powers.
- 3 hours doesn't seem that long.
- the attention to detail is phenomenal.
This movie is rated R! Why? Because whenever there is blood there is a LOT of gore. AND, there is nudity and sex. No holding back in this movie.
This isn't an action adventure. Similar to Matrix but more on the level of real life tell the story with drama and life. There isn't fighting everyday, even if you're a crime fighter. When there is any action, the visuals are amazing.
No super powers? Well, besides Dr. Manhattan being able to have almost all the powers of God, there are NO super heroes in this movie. Each hero uses their God given talent to fight bad guys, along with their costumes. This works for them though because this makes them more realistic and life like - similar to Batman, without daddy's money.
I hate to break it to you, but the good guys are not perfect. They are human beings like me and you and make mistakes. Obviously, they make mistakes and they fail to save all of man kind in the end.
Every good guy is punished for his or her evil deeds. The pain and hurt is true to life. You come to find out the good guys weren't and/or aren't always good. Kind of like Heroes Season 3 VILLAINS.
Although this plot takes place in an alternate 1985, the feel is rather realistic and could be taken serious, unlike other comic book / super hero movies where you need to use you imagine and pretend that mutants could be real. Because of this, you can actually relate to characters, generally speaking.
Now originally this movie was about 4 hours, but they cut it to be under 3 hours. It doesn't feel as long as The Dark Knight though. I think if I watched the movie again, I'll come across scenes I forgot about. Plus, I believe you will notice something different the next time you watch it. If you are a fanatic or plan on getting the DVD, you'll be able to enjoy the full length director's cut as well.
Watchmen has been in the works since the 80s. Now that someone can actually accomplish turning the comic book into a feature film, you will be rewarded by their efforts. The attention to detail is amazing.
Throughout the first hour I tried to pick out something that was a flaw, i.e. the shadows of the camera crew in Transformers. But they made this movie the best movie they could. Each set was built in living color and matched perfectly with the comic book. They even used the comic as their story board. Amazing.
If you don't think they paid 110 times more attention to detail than any other blockbuster director, just download their podcast on iTunes for free and watch the video journals. You will be impressed. Directors and film makers, take notes!

Northwest Independent Christian Artists, let's UNITE!
2008 was a year of personal growth and realization. As a Christian, I realized that selling records was not my goal. As an artist, I realized to make money from your music you cannot leave out the option of merchandise. It seems as though people love seeing you perform for free and love you even more if you hand out free cds.
In 2006 and 2007 I handed out 1000 CDs in mixtapes and singles. So I figured I should have a manufactured CD - packaged and ready to sell in any store. Even with a Free Poster, these CDs didn't leave my possession as quick as I expected.
We all need to understand, welcome, and embrace the new world and digital age. Having your music online is essential these days. Everyone has an album for sell on iTunes for $9.99. Now, the "new" thing is EPs and Singles. Why release a 12-15 song album when you can sell your songs at $.99 each.
I have released digital albums with bonus songs and extended versions to help the album get exposure. The best way to further your album is to follow the footsteps of Braille. He released his The IV Edition as an Instrumental album, AND an A Capella album. An artist can potentially triple the sells and open up the opportunity for other artists to use your beats or vocals for their remixes, mixtapes, and so on. Its a blessing all around.
Another great way to promote the music is a Podcast. I have been wanting to be a part of a Podcast in any way. Fresh Mann shared the idea of Video Blogging and offering fans the opportunity to send in questions to be answered. This is a great idea and should be taken further and include music by indie artists. I would like to increase the possibility of exposure of artists without labels by sharing their music, news, updates and interviews. I hope they can use this media to share their mission, ideas, & dreams for their music.
As this continues to weigh on my heart, I have been encouraged and inspired by Podcasts such as the Wade-O Radio Show. My goal is not only to help promote my own music, but others in the same position as me.

With all this being said, I will share with you my game plan for 2009.
