Hey, because this is episode 90 of Rough Draft, let’s do something a little different today. Let’s talk music.
Do you recognize any of these names?
- The Antlers
- Real Estate
- Tune-Yards
- M83
- Beirut
- Wye Oak
- Feist
- Tom Waits
- The Head and the Heart
- James Blake
- Radiohead
If you do recognize any of those names, then Demian Farnworth can probably predict this about you: you prefer music on the margin over music in the mainstream.
And you had your ear to the ground in 2011.
If you don’t, and prefer the mainstream over the marginal, then you likely recognize at least two names: Tom Waits and Radiohead. Demian will tell you why that’s important in a few minutes.
In this 10-minute episode of Rough Draft with Demian Farnworth, you’ll discover:
- A better goal than chasing that one-hit wonder
- Why you should focus on this one thing and not the “charts”
- What you can learn from bands and writers who were once famous (but aren’t anymore)
- The most important five-letter word in any creative pursuit
