A few hours ago I put out a public call on my Telegram channel for people to join "Franssen Conversation", the conversation group that is available to anyone who wants to make a comment on any Telegram post of mine. So far 85 people have joined, which is about 19% of the people who saw the post. This is awesome engagement.
This response has me feeling motivated to treat the group more like a chat group in itself, as opposed to a simply byproduct of Telegram's comment function. I have updated the profile picture to suit the environment. I appreciate anyone here in the Locals who joined up. It is, of course, not the premium chat group available only to Locals subs, but it's a good leg up for engagement AND should the member count hit 200 people, we'll be able to turn on the aggressive spam filter via the Telegram app. This will make a huge difference in dealing with those pesky MAGA spam bots that keep showing up. Cheers!
Having a look at one of Miles Mathis' "favorite films" and the social commentary relevant at the time.
Tracking has gone really well! I'm 90% of the way there on parts recorded, just a solo here and a fill there to go. Then mixing and mastering. That's SOMETIMES the quicker piece.
The lead single will be "Sabrina". It's about stalking a certain pop star who is always murdering men in her music videos. It's one of the best songs I've ever done. It will be the first track on the EP for max "visibility".
For a couple of years I've had a concept album kicking around in my head and as of tonight, I have the basics in place - meaning a good amount is already recorded. It will be called The Anti-Woman EP. Basically it will be a bunch of bait for womyn. I'm hoping it will have more commercial appeal so I'm thinking a lot about album cover art.
Once this one is in the can, I'll have a more "Steven Franssen" album basically ready to go after that. It's already 90% done. I'm considering doing a music video for the Anti-Woman EP. A few lyrics I will likely have to tone down because I don't want to get banned from Spotify. Like, I REALLY don't want that to happen. If you'll remember, one of my strikes on YouTube before my 17k channel was banned was because I made a spicy comment about a woman's weight.
I have seven songs and Spotify limits EP's to six tracks, so I have ONE to cut. I'll get you a track listing once it's good to go!
One of the songs is called Breeding Sow.
