reverbnation.com/playlist7?artist_id=46824

NOTE: You will find this download under the CONTENDERS tab and look for JUSTPASSINGTHRU (the download falls under the band's former name).

Some interesting info about the free song download (Deeper Than):
Get your boxing gloves on and jump into the ring because Deeper Than is fight/love song! Sometimes you LOVE; sometimes you FIGHT; and sometimes you need to FIGHT for LOVE.

This song (Deeper Than) is an early, un-mastered pre-release mix from the upcoming JPT album "The Burning". We have a couple newer mixes that will be mastered for the the full release. The opening of the song contains references to "Dirty Jersey" -- a term that is used with the utmost affection from the band as they all reside in the state of New Jersey. "Dirty Jersey style" refers to the "get-your-hands-dirty and fight-with-all-you-have-for-what-you-love" attitude that we love about our state. Jersey does nothing half-speed.

If JPT gets the most downloads this week, the band/song with then become a FEATURED SONG/ARTIST for the remainder of the Windows Playlist 7 competition.

More helpful tips on how to download the song AND share with all your friends coming soon!

What Does Making Art Mean To You?

As an artist (the rock-and-roll kind), every so often I get seriously introspective and think about heavy things like..."What is the meaning of life?", "What am I doing that matters right now?", "What will people say about me as a person after I'm gone?" -- you get the picture.

Being an artist, sometimes I wonder about art, what it is and what it means.  If you've been reading any of my posts you know that I'm a Godin-ite (love following Seth Godin's blog on Marketing and life in general).  Check out Seth's take on Art...

Hit me up with YOUR take on ART.

Hey -- just making it official!  We are changing the branding for the band from "Justpassingthru" to "JPT"!

We will still answer to "Justpassingthru" -- but all of our marketing, including the hot new upcoming release will be under the name "JPT"

So tell us your thoughts...

Whatever You Do w/ All Your Heart

No matter WHO you are and WHAT you do, do it with ALL YOUR HEART.  Hmmm... I think I've heard this somewhere before.  Any ideas???

Check out Seth Godin's take on this in his post entitled "Craftsmanship" and a quote from the inspiring Martin Luther King, Jr.

I'm so glad we take time to honor a Visionary and Dreamer like MLK in the USA.

Lumps Are Easy to Manage...

Lumps Are Easy to Manage...but they don't change the world. My thoughts after reading a post by one of my favorite gurus these days -- Seth Godin. I've included a link to Seth's blog post relating to this.

Would love to hear YOUR thoughts!

Enjoy!
