it s never easy figuring out the best possible way to ask for money but you know what they say blatant solicitation marauding under the thin veil of a music video might work you see i ve had this idea to make an album for quite a while an album full of spoken word melancholic moments shitty prepubescent vocals references to the upper midwest an inescapable atmospheric guitar tones i ve always thought that canadian softball had more to offer than a dramatic compilation of jaden smith tweets is it that facetious to say that the emo revival could use some reviving i ve crowdfunded in the past with beating a dead horse and friendville both of which did pretty well i guess with twenty thousand dollars we can finally experience the potential of a full length canadian softball album and i know what you re thinking jarrod that s a crap ton of money why why the hell do you need that much keep in mind that your contribution is in no way a donation as every contribution will earn you a tangible product you re literally buying something so don t forget that for ten dollars you can get a download of the album fifteen dollars gets you a physical cd twenty five dollars for the album with a t shirt or perhaps a little more for a rad dad hat just one dollar for a shout out in a video every cent helps the perks also include signed posters wall flags and skype sessions and if you re willing to fork out a little extra i will literally bake a tater tot hot dish and bring it to you it s a minnesotan thing i guess although only a portion of the funds raised go into producing the album take note of the other expenses which include media publishing perk fulfillment various fees and taxes the reward fulfilment cost alone for friendville ended up being over fourteen thousand dollars writing that check gave me debilitating anxiety and in case you re not sold yet here s the real treat if the project gets over funded thirty thousand dollars i will take the band on tour that s not a maybe i will definitely take the band on a live tour if this goal is achieved might even play a sunrise skater kids song or two getting back to the point you only have thirty days to contribute if we don t reach the goal in thirty days everybody gets their money back and the project is cancelled that would really suck head over to my crowdfunding page now to get your perk and help make this album a reality it could even be ready for release as early as april but we ll have to wait and see well what are you waiting for there should be a link in the description of this video you should probably go click that link at some point 1
