SAVE THE DATE! “MANZANA” My 5 Song Album Drops on Apple Music, Spotify, et al: 09/16/2024

It’s all in the can man, ready to go. I can’t wait babe. This is a huge milestone for me and my music. I feel like an 8-year-old kid standing in line to see Star Wars for the 22nd time, for the first time, which I did at the Chrisanta Twin in Theater, Mission Viejo in the late 70’s or early 80’s.

I just want my songs to be on Apple music cuz I know a lot of my family and friends don’t even listen to YouTube music. They’re on Apple music mostly. Spotify is huge too with my kids and younger people I have observed. It’s going to be great to just point people to the EP thereafter once it goes live.

Huge on my path, babe.

Below is the YT playlist of what will be up. I’ve already had it on YT for a while. YouTube and YouTube music are where I listen to all my music and all the music of REM, and all the music that’s coming out, and Coldplay and anything on a playlist I listen to is on youtube. So it’s no big deal to me in my listening life that it’s going to be on Apple and Spotify. The buzz is because I feel like a lot more people will have access to my tunes in their casual pattern. To me that’s just “the bomb” folks. That’s the amazing thing I’ve accomplished for me, for D. I’m stoked babe. I’ve never been more ready.

What I learned Today About The Momentum I Am In

I am juggling too much shit. Time to compartmentalize. I think I’ll keep my profile acct on Facebook but the Page is dragging me away from my miraculous stuff. I’ll maybe post something there weekly, or never.

On another learning front: You know, I used to feel so crippled on my phone. Now? I have to close my laptop to do my video stuff etc. I’ve become more adept on my Android and iPhone, though my iPhone is on the way OUT. Old, bad battery, can’t hold a charge. It has way more space tho, so that kinda sux I run out of memory now a lot faster. I do a LOT of deleting. For every short you see from me, I delete at least 5 ideas. Time to strip stuff down, I feel overwhelmed between the books, the music, the podcast. If I just stick to RileyOnFilm.com and don’t look back, I’m so much more rested and focused. I put an 18 and over plugin on it. Ready to roll, babe. I don’t need to go anywhere else … much. For me to want that, the simplicity of just f-ing blogging again, is HUGE spiritual growth. Christians, back off, I don’t mean your kind. I love myself. You know, we’ll see how it goes but I feel such a peace just writing this down. On my blog, I do what the F I want. Facebook these days is like easting cotton candy til the fair shuts down then you puke your guts out and no one cares … every fucking day. I’ve learned most people are ok with it and don’t get let down as much as I do. I don’t mean to say you are less than I, but when you’ve been part of a blog community, an author community, a music community, a teaching community FB gets old real fast. FB fails to satisy I don’t know why I always set up there thinking it will be different. I’ll still stay on there though. You can check in with me anytime at RileyOnFilm.com

Now Watching: The Whip & The Body

👻 Gothic Horror, Romance Directed by Mario Bava from 1963

Starring Christopher Lee 👍

About 20 minutes into it and the woman is beautiful Christopher Lee is staggeringly excellent as he always is with these horrors. I love the piano that builds the fear and also the concert type music really really creepy like haunted House movie also a lot of nights on gothic beaches which as you know I love the ocean 😉

Have you seen this one. Let me know what you thought, or if you’re planning on seeing it, in the comments! I do plan to review this film on my podcast, it may already be posted when you are reading this.
