[home/music] Incubator Records asked me to submit a demo to them a few months ago, and tonight was my first phone interview with them. So far, so good— although I was a little skeptical of their label at first, I pretty sure they’re the real deal. I’m encouraged by the things their company stands for, particularly: Speaking of finances, they warned me that my financial investment would be in the neighbourhood of $400 a month. This is for things like travel expenses to gigs, buying miscellaneous equipment, making phone calls, etc. So if you’re interested in sponsoring me because you believe in my music and support the part I’m to play in this regard, that would be terrific. As I know more, I’ll be sure to post it here, so stay tuned. ~Jason Update: Another Update:
First Interview for Incubator Records
Well today I received three cassette tapes— THAT’S RIGHT, CASSETTE TAPES from Incubator, with four or five hours of talking that they wanted Joanne and I to listen to. This is OLD material, with references to movies and TV shows from the mid eighties! Some of the material was good, but they have an image problem, I’d say. Here’s an interesting link that says you have to pay them $300-$500 per month!
Incubator Records Asks for Money
There are other links I’ve found through Google that don’t sounds good:
Message Board Conversation About Them
Some Insights Into Their System
Another Message Board Conversation About Incubator
Pretty much everyone says “Stay Away,” so that’s probably the direction I’ll take. I’ll hang in there for a bit more to see what they say, but it sounds suspicious. At my next interview in a couple of nights I’ll just come out and ask what the deal is.
~Jason
After almost finishing the cassettes, he’s finally getting into some good meaty suggestions and advice, and it’s excellent. Apparently he says they put money up for a new album if they feel it’s a good investment. I’m curious to see where this goes.

[home/music/song_bios] I’ve always wanted to write a little lullabye that I could sing to my kids— and have actually drafted probably 10 or so — on the spot while I try to sooth a crying child. But this one started Wednesday night with the guitar, and I put down some words to it last night. It’s really simple, but I think it comes across really gentle and soothing.
I hope you like it!
Daddy’s Lullabye

Daddy’s Lullabye
By Jason Silver
Close your eyes and don’t you cry
Go to sleep my darling
Daddy’s lullabye
Just goodnight and not goodbye
Sweetest dreams my baby
Drift off to the sky
To daddy’s lullabye.
Sleeping sweetly
Let me hold you tight
Breathing deeply
Soon the morning light

[home/webdesign] I just finished designing and developing a new web site for a group who pray for sick kids with cancer, and other life-threatening illnesses. It's called The tEAM Network, and they make it their mission to mobilize as many people to prayer as possible. Take a look at their web site, and maybe even get involved! ~Jason

[home/books] I have been reading so much history lately… culminating in the completion of the Jack Absolute series and The French Executioner also by C.C. Humphreys, then The Year of the Zinc Penny by Rick DeMarinis. The French Executioner was the story of Anne Boleyn's executioner, as he makes a journey to fulfill her last request. It's a real page turner, with chapter after chapter of adventure and mystery. The Year of the Zinc Penny is a nostalgic-type book, in which the narrator recounts a period in his childhood in which he learns about life, love, death, and war. It's set in the early 1940s. I loved it. The writing style was somewhat choppy, but it represented the narrator well… and was extremely easy to read. I consumed this in about 4 hours. Highly recommend! ~Jason

[home/music/song_bios] I finally wrote a new song tonight. It came out really fast: I think I was long ovedue to sit down and write or something. I know that not doing music for a living is taking a bit of a creative toll on me. I hope to focus more intentionally in the future. Here are lyrics below— I put up a scratch track of the song as well— so you can hear how it goes. ~Jason Afternoon Is Haunting Midnight now, I’m waiting, wondering Chorus: I can’t believe the time, God (c) Copyright 2007 Jason Silver Ink.

Afternoon Is Haunting
By Jason Silver
Why you haven’t called?
One o’clock Lord, I must close my eyes
Two goes by, then three, four, five,
Still you are nowhere near
Sleep would be great, but it’s already eight,
And the afternoon is haunting.
Every afternoon I think about that place
I remember how the moon, it shone upon your face
I can still recall your eyes; they burn into my mind
And I can’t forget the lies, but baby,
How I want to.
It’s already half-past nine
I fell asleep at ten, just closed my eyes
I’ll wait until noon, then one and two,
Man, has it been three years?
Four o’clock, I go for a walk
But the afternoon is haunting.
[chorus]
