Onward To A Better Destination (My Number 1 Music Newsletter July 7th 2023)
Hello everyone here who has been listening to & promoting my music! I'm grateful so many folks like what I'm putting out here & many have been promoting the tunes, very many of which have reached the top of the charts here many times over, thanks to you all for being with me.
I've got a new track uploaded , a really nice long piece of jamming progressive spacerock (it's a 40 minute tune good for chilling out a while) called "Prehistoric Future" by Android Bailout (A band I had from late 2000 to about 2005), featuring me on electronic guitar, Craig Beebe on several synthesizers, & Jeff Martinov on electronic drums. I also did the heavy guitar riff loop used as a foundation for the jam. These guys are amazingly good musicians, we came up with stuff right off-the-cuff (this was one of those things).
Two albums on here are for sale to those that like the whole thing or even just individual tracks, the first album from The HAARP Unit (progressive spacerock), & the Strictly Nosehairs On Tap comedy / satire album:

I've just posted the Apple links for them here, but they are in a lot of stores, including Amazon, etc. Apple gives us the best price for the item, & it's only a hair over the others.
A collection of tracks for a second album from The HAARP Unit are being worked on over time, a good variety of tracks, the album title will be "Remote Viewing", a lot of my experiences with deep meditation is one of my biggest influences.
I'm grateful that literally hundreds of you have come here & joined my subscriber list over the past few years, it has kept me going through all the uncertain times over the past 3 years.
My work here was slowed down pretty drastically over the past 2+ years because of a bizarre ear disease I contracted on 4-5-2021, which involved internal congestion & a lot of tinnitus, which sort of play off of each other, sometimes making it very difficult to do much, but the good news is that I can still hear, & I have found things that help me manage better from doing a lot of research, which is more than I've been able to get from the medical establishment, who have so far only come up with pre-conceived ideas about "allergies", etc. It's an internal ear problem (eustachian tube dysfunction, giving rise to "acoustic neuritis", which is also just like Meniere's disease, which is supposed to be "incurable", but I have had periods where it gets better, even though I'm still not "well" yet. I've had 2 ear exams in 2 years, no wax buildup, my eardrums are O.K., it's some kind of internal congestion. I've tried a long list of remedies, too long to go into here. The only over-the-counter drug that helped was a decongestant, but it isn't helping as much as it used to. If anyone seeing this newsletter has successfully treated this kind of thing before, drop me a line! I would love to hear about your solution.
I have kept "in the loop" with audio visual work with a vocalist I produce music videos for (Tao Anistazi), she's really good, & you can see them on my YouTube channel:

My YouTube link is now in my social media links here on Number One Music. So, I'm working on staying healthy & getting more projects done in the meantime.
Cheers,
Brian Vaughan
