Munnelly Newsletter for Arelene's Grocery

September 2013: Hello World again.

It's been a month since I wrote. Well like everyone one of us in speeded urban society my little legs are thrashing away under the water (like a ducks) and feeling the burn but don't always know or see if I am 'really' getting anywhere. But yet the landscape changes just a bit over time. So here are a few new fruits (and nuts!) from my orchard or garden.

Please take a taste of Hello World preview - feedback, suggestions and comments to laughjohnlaugh AT gmail.com. I have spent the last month putting the word out that I do web work with http://skylarktechteam.com/ to keep me in foodstuffs like tea. If you need something done on the web we can do it; for example Wordpress, Joomla Tumblr and all that class of website tech thing.

 I have also been setting up a tour, writing new songs and design work on physical CD. I have also been creating an exciting new spoken word/music production in studio. I like twitter! and Facebook makes me a little depressed ... but you can follow me on either though my twitter feed is defo more opinionated and raucous. Now that comment is out of the way we will move on to better things like seeing you all on the 20th.

 The Voice of love asketh -
"have you seen me play and sing yet?" 

Yes, friends and country fellows you may have been saying 'oh we must go along to a show sometime...' Well now is that time. The show is closer closer much closer in NYC, Stanton street, it is an exciting show full of accomplished acts - so PLEASE come to this one! It's a big event, part of the 10 years old 1st Irish Origins Theater Festival so you will be supporting not just me but other Irish American contributors to culture.

Is the use of the word ASS in lyrics explicit?

Image
 This must be just a gratuitous excuse to write some filthy words in LAUGHJOHNLAUGHS! Blog- I was researching this because the words of my first ever single - "Does my bum look big in this? " contains the word ' ass ' in a line in the third verse. "Ohh please tell me baby do you like my ASS?" which is a fair relationship question imo ...but my G/f says in church circles it is likely regarded as lewd or crude .. hmm I  hadn't realized. So here is some interesting material derived from a quick search on the topic - using the search terms ' is the word ass in lyrics considered explicit ' I got some information about the 7 dirty words or seven naughty or filthy words - whatever they may be titled. However if I publish the 7 naughty words in full then I need to mark my blog as explicit which is a shame - so may need to write a tamer version without the highly charged naughty/dirty words. Anyway basically the good news is as follows:  I don

ASCAP 1 day conference Q&A Feedback

ASCAP NY SESSIONS Q&A Name: John Munnelly Band: Laughjohnlaugh Latest album: Unreleased ( Music available on myspace and on my EPK) Website: http://www.myspace. com/laughjohnlaugh EPK: http://www.sonicbids.com/ epk/epk.aspx?epk_id=103702 BLOG: http://laughjohnlaugh. com/ 1. Why did you decide to attend ASCAP NY Sessions? First of all I liked the name - I make music - that's what I do and aspire to better at doing with other musicians similar to me. I wanted to join ASCAP - They seem to me to be more Artist centered ( than perhaps BMI/SESAC etc) so I wanted to meet with some ASCAP staff face to face and get to know them as persons before I finally signed up. I also wanted to try the 1 day conference locally in order to see if the longer 3-day conference out on other coast is a worthwhile investment of my time and resources. 2. What was the most important thing you took away from the one-day conference? Its a very human business after all - I think it gets a bad rap from tim

Fuck you google (YouTube Owner) you fuck.

January 2018 Fuck You 'YouTube' I hate corporate speak. YouTube Letter says in effect 'hey we are keeping even more money for ourselves!' and 'we are doing this for our advertisers! But they dont say that - it's opposite speak. See some excerpts below. Google YouTube are doing this for our advertisers. Last Tuesday they YouTube tell small creators and musicians like me fuck you and your channel. Not that I even ever got any money from them in the first place, but now they move the creator carrot even further away from the donkeys mouth and the stick of iniquity beats on. Follow the money - they are doing it for the adverts. They had the worst rate of royalty on music anyway and it makes no financial difference really cause they keep the money but likely will lose a variety of creative tools like custom thumbnails that brought some ingenuity and creative flair to their standard random thumbs. It means if you are in a stream your thumbnail imag
