Steve Grand’s Music
In an unusual twist, here’s something about Steve Grand’s music, not Steve Grand, not Steve Grand’s swimwear, or Steve Grand’s looks. Just his music. I have it and I love it.
My debut album, “All-American Boy” just came out! Get it on: iTunes, Amazon, GooglePlay and all the other usual places.
Signed copies and merch on my site: shop.stevegrand.com . iTunes link: (https://itunes.apple.com
You can check out his web site here where there’s more information.
In publishing there was a term several years ago that was used all the time…crossover. It was used for books in genres like YA that crossed over into adult contemporary fiction. I think Grand’s music is a good example of this in the entertainment industry. It’s not just for gay people. I think there’s something everyone can enjoy.
Etsy Toys
I’m always a little surprised when I post something on Facebook…always on Facebook…and people don’t know what I’m talking about. It’s my fail and I shouldn’t just assume things. So, if you haven’t heard about Etsy, here’s some basic info…
Etsy is a peer-to-peer (P2P) e-commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items and supplies, as well as unique factory-manufactured items. These items cover a wide range, including art, photography, clothing, jewelry, food, bath and beauty products, quilts, knick-knacks, and toys. Many sellers also sell craft supplies such as beads, wire and jewelry-making tools. All vintage items must be at least 20 years old.[3] The site follows in the tradition of open craft fairs, giving sellers personal storefronts where they list their goods for a fee of US$0.20 per item.
I love it. And the link I’m using right now talks about the darker side of Etsy with photos of some interesting/creepy toys they sell. There’s something for everyone there, too.
If you thought Etsy was all twee knitted doilies and Blitz-spirit bunting, you’d be wrong.
Etsy has a dark side. A nightmare-inducing childhood-ruining dark side, of utterly terrifying not-at-all cuddly toys.
