Lonnie Knows Everything

Do yourself  a favor and ignore this app!

1. Everyone appears to be fake.. sure there are some real ones, but most aren’t ..

2. If you decide you don’t like the app … try cancelling! you’ll be in for an adventure… there is no method of cancelling your account and contacting them is iffy at best.. most report no luck in getting their account deleted, I did have luck.. kind of

3. if you cancel your account be prepared to be banned.. I had a test account that I requested cancelled, after wrangling, they finally cancelled it and then banned my iphone from their service entirely.. extreme! instead of deleting the account, they banned the device entirely..

All things you should know about before signing up to begin with, which is not part of what you’re made aware of … beware of this app …

I’m in total shock, I was told last night but it didn’t really sink in .. as anyone who knows me will realize I’m really bad with names .. when I checked the yearbook this morning my heart sank … this was someone I knew and was someone who was a really cool/nice guy .. I hadn’t talked to him in  a long time, but the shock was still as strong as ever..

It really puts things into perspective I think .. you meet people you enjoy and then you lose touch and one day they are gone forever.. it really makes me want to try harder to keep the bonds I have ..

Suicide requires both extreme cowardice and extreme bravery .. it’s the easiest way out but the hardest path to take .. for someone to be driven to that point means something.. at least he’s found peace from whatever tormented him so strongly .. I think we (his friends and family) can all say we wish we could have helped him..

Doug will be missed .. I’m sorry I wasn’t a better friend

These are my meaningless words ..

I’ve written about WaTunes before back when I was evaluating their free service as an alternative to TuneCore, After spending some time using the service, and after having been with TuneCore since 2007, I decided to write up a comparison of the two services .. so check that out if you’re not familiar with either.

Recently the guys over at WaTunes added AmazonMP3 to the list of stores you get your music included in as part of their VIP offering, which is minimal in price especially when you consider the competiton .. This doesn’t mean that the “free” users are out in the cold, you have the option to opt-in for a $10 fee per album to get your content in Amazon.

But wait .. there’s more!

In addition to AmazonMP3, it seems the WaTunes guys have worked with amazon to offer you the ability to sell physical cd’s via their “On Demand” service ..  which is included free for VIP users, and as part of the $10 “opt-in” fee that you pay for AmazonMP3 ..

So this cool up and coming distribution channel just got cooler in my opinion!

If you’d like to read WaTunes’ news article on this, head on over here!

Ps. Other than the fact I’m a user of both TuneCore and WaTunes music services, I’m not otherwise affiliated with either.

Oneduality’s next release entitled “Welcome to my Everlasting Nightmare”, The Best of Oneduality .. has been submitted to WaTunes today.

Hopefully you’ll see it available for general consumption within 3-4 weeks! And maybe I’ll get lucky and it’ll see it’s way into Amazon Kevin? jk

What you’ll find on this album is a collection of 22 songs that are the most popular of my releases, including a few new and unreleased tunes.. you’re looking at about an hour of electronic noise and ambient atmospheres.

I hope you enjoy!

I have donated, and I won’t say more, I’ll just share Trent’s note ..

 A Letter from Trent:

This is for something important. Eric De La Cruz is dying and needs a heart transplant. He keeps getting turned down for a transplant list because he’s on Nevada Medicaid, and there are no transplant centers in Nevada. We want to get involved and hopefully so do you, so we’re extending a hand. His sister Veronica (former Anchor and Internet Correspondent for CNN) has started a campaign to save his life.

Eric’s situation shines a bright light on a broken health care system, and his particular set of problems are being addressed on the political front, aiming for reform in addition to the need for immediate financial help to keep him alive TODAY. I think we can help with the latter.

Here’s what we’re offering – three options:

If you have a ticket to a NIN/JA show: if you donate $1,000 to this cause, we’ll invite you to come hang out with us before the NIN/JA show of your choice. You and a guest can watch NIN and Street Sweeper Social Club’s soundchecks, eat dinner backstage with us, take pics / get autographs and watch the show from the side of the stage if you’d like.

If you donate $300, you and a friend can join us for NIN and SSSC’s soundchecks and a handshaking / hug session before doors open at the NIN/JA show of your choice.

If you do NOT have a ticket to a NIN/JA show: if you donate $1,200 to this cause, we’ll invite you to come hang out with us before the NIN/ JA show of your choice and provide 2 tickets (best available). You and a guest can watch soundcheck, eat dinner backstage with us, take pics / get autographs and watch the show from the side of the stage if you’d like.

100% of the money collected from this will go directly to Eric’s fund.

I hope you’ll consider helping out with this.

Sincerely, Trent Reznor
