A Revolution in Pop Music
From the President of Pop Music

"Pop music is no longer pop music" - Zen Thought for the Day...
See below for why....

PopMusic.com
Get the Most Popular Music in the World - Free! Also...

I registered PopMusic.com in 1996

800 People that day typed PopMusic.com to see what came up

It was a blank page. One day, I put up this page. 800 people a day...

As I quietly lived my life, over 1 million people downloaded/streamed this song

Day in, day out - 800 people a day - it's really weird...PopMusic is a good domain!

Jive Records offered me a record contract . I was accepted by Oxford
I chose Oxford. Now, I choose to pop Pop Music. There are the remnants
of a really embarrassing site my friends made while I was in Oxford.
I'm taking them down...as I attempt to....pop...

Please keep in touch.
Music is NEVER sold here, only given away.

We just like to feel were' not giving it to strangers, is all!

 

 

 

Is it really pop music on PopMusic.com?

I registered the name PopMusic.com before I even started high school - within 5 years, I'd been offered a record contract by Britney Spears' record company, one million people had downloaded/streamed my music, and I had a bigger mailing list than 'N Sync.

The amount of money expended? Zero. The amount of effort? Zero.

When PopMusic.com was a completely blank page - 800 people around the world, each day, would think "Hmmm....what happens if I type 'PopMusic.com' into my browser?" It's never changed.

I've appeared in front of over 500 million people (half a billion) on television, for another reason (also pretty much out of my control!) You can learn more about that when I get my home page up and running (AustinWashington.com) (or in the video on the bottom of the PopMusic.com home page, as of this writing). Or here! (video below)

There are those who would use this unexpected luck for selfish ends, but I believe God - in whatever form you want to believe in him, (if at all) - fate, destiny, Providence (as George Washington called it) - put me here for a reason.

The speaking stuff, I take care of elsewhere (on TV, mostly....)

But the music thing is easy.

I make music that makes people say stuff like this:

Your music really made me think. I've been in some trouble, and haven't been able to decide what to do. After listening to Falling Out of Time it clicked. I know what to do! Thank you so much!

I give it away, at PopMusic.com. Free.

Here's the first song on the internet to get a million streams/downloads:
From a loooooong time ago!


Falling Out of Time
The original site it was on is here
opens new window

Amazing music is going to be put up here soon...stayed tuned

Before the amazing music, though, comes my old c**p!


Love Strikes Back!

I RECORDED THIS WHEN I WAS FIFTEEN. MY FIRST EVER RECORDING.
ONE TAKE. IN MY BEDROOM.

Comments here, please!
(opens new window so doesn't stop song from playing...!)

Stay in touch here, please!
(new window, ditto!)

New Stuff Coming SOON!!!!

Actually - Love Strikes Back is one of my favourite songs ever...
I recorded it on a four-track cassette player, so everything had to be
the first take - because, if you did a second take, it would mean erasing the first take...
The guitar solo sucked, I decided, after my friends all left...
I was, maybe, fourteen when I wrote it, and fifteen when I recorded it...
And it sat around for years.


Every year, I'd listen to it, and add something...
Then, a year later...didn't sound finished, I'd add something else...
This when on until I was no longer a teenager!
My favourite year was when I decided the guitar solo really did suck
A normal person might, y'know, play, like, a new guitar solo
But normal people aren't the President of Pop™ ;-)
It seemed obvious - and it still does - that what was needed in that
important middle of the song...
Was a rapping, spiritual, god-like, duck.

Of course.

Then came the recitation of Shakespeare.

Exactly what every fourteen year-old's white middle class rapette
suburban hip hop song should have in the middle...

A rapping, spiritual duck, followed by Shakespeare....

Please leave comments here - I'd really appreciate it!
(especially if they're good - let's be honest!)

PLEASE JOIN THIS LIST AND STAY IN TOUCH
My only purpose is to make my friends I haven't yet met as happy
as my friends I've already met - to the extent I can - free tee-shirts and stuff, occasionally, so, y'know!

I put up Falling Out of Time way back then because it sounded "professional" or something...
But what I really liked were the weirder songs I made - like this (Love Strikes Back!)

For one thing, I took it into my friend's professional studio, once, and he
- a professional - this was in LA, and he made hit records - he said it was great.
Obviously, it wasn't professionally recorded, but still...

But that's not what I liked - what I liked was - say, for example, I gave a CD to my gf.

And, a few days later, we'd be sitting around talking, and her mind would
drift, and out of the blue, she'd start saying the words to this song.

Subconsciously.

It really is a hit record. It really is.

Just not yet...

Here, btw, is my crazy idea.

This songs needs a video. It desperately needs one.

I'm not gonna make one. What, and get dressed up in a duck costume?

Puhleez...

Here's my idea... donate money, here (if you want)
(say its for the duck prize or something - there's a comment area...)

If anyone makes a duck/Love Strikes Back video, I'll give them
half the money.

With the other half, I'll buy a beer - it's only fair!

 

 


WHY ?!?

 

Because Pop Music made today sucks!!!!

Pop Music used to mean stuff like...the Doors...The Beatles...Jimi Hendrix...Cole Porter....John Lennon...

There's still plenty of good music today! Regina Spektor. Just one of thousands of examples

But it's not called pop music, because it's not popular!

Enough.

To be called..."pop music".

Why?!?

Back when pop music rocked - people weren't idiots - so it was good.

Have people become idiots?

Can popular music - Pop Music - actually be good again?

Are people too stupid?

Are you?

If you are - please leave! This site is NOT for you.

Otherwise, please join the President of Pop, here!

The thing below was up on PopMusic.com the entire time I've been at Oxford. The band was my friends and me, before I came to university. They were the talented musicians, I was the one with the wild ideas who wrote all the songs. About 25,000 people signed up for the mailing list when I was in Oxford - that's a lot. 20 a day! It makes me sad, and poignant, and long for the old days...I've got one more exam, and then I'm finished university. I just re-wrote this website two days ago, and noticed that NO ONE was signing up for the NO-1 mailing list anymore. So here's the thing that got 25,000 people interested. I think my music now is much better...but maybe I'm wrong.

I'll put all of it up, free, for everyone to download and enjoy, over the next few months, as well as tonnes (US: tons) of new stuff...AW!

How does No-1 Stack up Against His Competitors?
Let's take an objective look, shall we?

Other Pop Stars
No-1
Want your money Wants your happiness
Want to be famous Values his privacy
Egocentric bastards Ditto (well, No-1 is not shy, precisely )
Make music to be famous and buy big cars Makes music because he's inspired to by...magic, God, take your pick!
Think of themselves, first Wants to make you happy
Sucks The opposite of sucks....

i moved it here - this is NOT so you can read it - for God's sake, don't - it's just a bit of google-friendly stuff...


Here is a link to the former PopMusic.com Index Page - it was just a stupid bunch of junk put up when I started University,
and the company that ran the site went out of business! (This was back in 2002..) It's been sitting there ever since...Until today - 25 February, 2008 - When a new world is starting (here, at least!)Talk about...PopMusic! (dot com...) www.PopMusic.com Now, I'm doing the site on my own - or with your help! (Thanks!) :D (For search engines' sakes, here are some old test page - they all suck and are embaarrassing - actually, come to think of it, I'll wait on this! For now...this is enough...
