Tweekly.fm hits 7500 users

I just actually needed a cool blog-title.

This blog is more just an update on the state of things.

Firstly, yes: Tweekly.fm has of this blog post hit 7500 users. It is also now under 500 00 on alexa ranking. It has grown tremendously the past few months. I am very happy about it! What started as just a simple service I wanted to use on my own in January of this year, is now supporting itself through ad revenue! That is not all though. I am going to upgrading and overhauling the Twitter side of the mashup in the coming month if university work isn’t bogging me down too much. Expect awesome features!

Twindie.net run by me and my bro (well my bro does more work atm) got a redesign and launched its first T-shirt range! It’s dry and lame.

I’m So Nerdy is going slowly at the moment. I’m sensing a redesign possibly and the eventual implementation of categories (and better sharing), but it is a bit low on the priority list. Too much other web and study-related things we are busy with. But please, don’t stop submitting hilarious nerdyness.

We also have a new website in the pipeline that should launch in the coming weeks. We love it.

In music-related news, we are busy with an EP for our project, called Dapper Jump. Expect it to sound like indie alternative rock with electro.

Yes, me and my brother are trying to take over the world.

Dapper Jump

I keep forgetting that this blog is also about my music endeavours! I just keep posting about my websites and such.

Me and brother, who each have our own music projects (see pages above for my stuff and Sparkyboy on MySpace for my bro’s 8-bit music), has decided to finally put something together with vocals.

We didn’t go out to make it a live band. We just want to make music because we like doing it. If that means adding loads of electronic stuff, then so be it. We also don’t try to subscribe to any genre, rather just make music when it sounds cool.

Considering that my bro is in China, we could only make about 3 tunes so far. “We Are In Space” is what I like to call ghetto, space synth. “Bears” is indie dance rock-y and “Sands of Tide” is an ambient electro tune.

Go check us out on MySpace. More songs are coming eventually! :)

I was looking for an application to display lyrics from my favourite band, Muse, on my Facebook profile. There wasn’t one, so I made one.

So, if you have Facebook and like Muse, get the application here. It is still in beta phase, so there might be a bug or 2.

Add it. :)

So I’m back from the whole collecting money for the community thing (aka raising funds for charity). I’ll blog about it tomorrow in more detail, but now I first want to post about my moooosic.

I’ve made all my songs available on iLike for free download and streaming! GO CRAZY! Now you don’t have to download a whole album to listen to selected tracks anymore. After the success of Crag (which was first released as a single), I decided to make everything easily available.

If you like it, please tell your friends!

If you don’t want to sift through the songs, my favourites are Crag, Meadow, Murmur Plains, Dry Suburban, Empty Night Sky, Flight of the Rift and Open World.

P.S. I still don’t know why Crag is so popular because its been picked up by Baidu and I can’t get in and snoop around. :(

Open World

My new album/EP is done! It is once again a mix of ambient/drum and bass tracks. This time it is more on the upbeat side. :)

I present Open World. It contains probably some of the best songs I have ever made (I’ll leave that to your judgement).

1) Meadow – ambient and bass

2) Maelstrom – slower ambient

3) Open World – crazy upbeat

4) Dry Suburban – funky dance thing

5) Crag – insane drum and bass

6) Murmur Plains – ambient

Please download it and tell what you have to say!

Visit my MySpace if you want to add me or something.
