Making a Life in Music, Vol. 1: "We're All Gonna Die"

We told you last week about a new writing endeavor of Josh's: a series of blogs dedicated to "making a life in music."  Again, it's part advice column, part autobiography, part how-to book, part confessional.  And more!

Josh has now posted his first installment, titled "We're All Gonna Die."

You can read it on Book of Jubilations, HERE!

"Long Shadows": New Band Video + Make-Your-Own Video Contest!

The dreams have grown teeth, and the beasts are coming out...

We're very excited to tell you about several new places to hear this song.

- ON HBO......... This Sunday (Oct 10), "Long Shadows" will be featured during an episode of the hit cable series "Bored to Death."  Go to the show's website at www.hbo.com/bored-to-death to learn more.  And tune in!

- IN THE BAND'S DIY MUSIC VIDEO........ We're pleased to bring you a new music video from Josh and the band, with a spin.  They filmed it themselves, while on a day off from touring this Summer - on an iPhone!  Oh, and it's just one shot. 

You gotta see it.

Check out the new music video HERE.  We're sure you're going to get a huge kick out of it.

- IN YOUR OWN MUSIC VIDEO!........... Josh and band did it.  So can you.  Go to our special Vimeo page HERE to download the mp3 and follow the instructions on how to submit your own, homemade music video for "Long Shadows." 





Favorites will be selected (and win free concert tickets), along with a winner who will also get their video featured on the front page of joshritter.com.

Let's go, all you Scorseses and Spielbergs.  Get those ideas brewing!  And HAVE FUN with it.

Good luck!
