The Blockchain Glam Rock Song
<html>
<p>Today I finished recording and mixing my Blockchain Glam Rock song <em><strong>'Blockchain Eternity'</strong></em>. It will be published and sold for Bitcoins and Steem Dollars soon - but you can get it for free now! Just solve the puzzle at the end of this post.</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-grt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15178188_10211455500844143_6002742322966723384_n.jpg?oh=c8e9b6f5334c3071c3b087f93675daa7&amp;oe=58BFABA4" width="960" height="720"/></p>
<p>I decided to write a Blockchain song after having so much fun at the Karaoke party of the <a href="https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@aaronkoenig/having-fun-at-labitconf"><strong>Latin American Bitcoin Conference</strong></a>. In my youth I was the singer of several Punk and New Wave bands, and although I am not really a good singer, I am loud and shameless, which is surely an advantage at a Karaoke event.</p>

<p><em>Karaoke party at LaBitConf Buenos Aires</em></p>
<p>I got some good feedback for my performance, which inspired me to write a song which plays with all kinds of typical Bitcoin and Blockchain slang words - something the Bitcoin and Blockchain community would enjoy, and everyone else might consider Surrealistic poetry. I chose to write in a Glam Rock style, inspired by T.Rex.</p>
<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAtBrsdfnhs</p>
<p><em>T.Rex: Get it on</em></p>
<p>Although many might think that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie"><strong>David Bowie</strong></a> invented Glam Rock when he performed as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rise_and_Fall_of_Ziggy_Stardust_and_the_Spiders_from_Mars"><em><strong>Ziggy Stardust</strong></em></a>, it was actually David Bowie's close friend <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Bolan"><strong>Marc Bolan</strong></a>, who already had a number of smash hits with his band T. Rex from 1970 to 1972, before <em>Ziggy Stardust</em> was released. Marc Bolan was the first artist to wear make-up and fancy clothes on stage. His songs were simple but sticky.</p>

<p><em>Julio Kladniew doin' some groovy bass lines</em></p>
<p>So I asked my friend Julio, who has been my musician for <a href="www.bitfilm.com"><strong>many commercial films</strong></a>, if he could help me to produce a song. He agreed, so I wrote the song on the acoustic guitar of my AirBnB host. That took me just a few minutes. My musical skills are limited, but that's good enough to write simple and sticky songs.</p>
<p><img src="https://fb-s-d-a.akamaihd.net/h-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/15135759_10211455507284304_5810824216403769051_n.jpg?oh=c40ff2250c2b4ac43ab3ba641dda1fe0&amp;oe=58CC28FD&amp;__gda__=1487892294_b41b28573671e8d716187b305c192d62" width="960" height="720"/></p>
<p><em>Computer music</em></p>
<p>Julio is a great bass player, but even more importantly, he is a wizard of digital studio technology. We recorded the song in a few short sessions which he could squeeze into free slots between his commercial work for ad agencies.</p>
<p>I played rhythm guitar and sang lead vocals, Julio played bass guitar and made his computer play drums and strings. His friend Guido Parisi contributed the amazing solo guitar.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Guido Parisi (solo guitar) with his band</em></p>
<p>Finally we recorded backing vocals by Florencia, my best friend in Buenos Aires.</p>
<p><img src="https://fb-s-b-a.akamaihd.net/h-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/15134767_10211455498724090_1578715260208046022_n.jpg?oh=945251490968a081732d4fc05d7c4922&amp;oe=58C8B922&amp;__gda__=1488687769_85c7d1f3eb75dd8dc47aaff785de732c" width="960" height="719"/></p>
<p><em>Florencia Aenlle doing backing vocals</em></p>
<p>The song is ready now, we just need a bit of money to shoot a music video to promote it well. So we hope we can raise some Steem for it through this post. <strong>Please help us with it</strong>, and you get the song for free before its official release!</p>
<p><img src="https://fb-s-b-a.akamaihd.net/h-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/15170743_10211455498124075_8514249464957891673_n.jpg?oh=6415516335d89d3d9d3c01f2ba75bd4c&amp;oe=58C35275&amp;__gda__=1489758206_a4b7ac935c4540200dfbe2c8d1659d08" width="960" height="540"/></p>
<p><em>From which band did I quote this line?</em></p>
<p>And this is what you need to do to win a free MP 3:</p>
<p>1. <strong>Upvote</strong> this post</p>
<p>2. <strong>Resteem</strong> this post</p>
<p>3. Tell all your <strong>whale friends</strong> to do the same</p>
<p>4. Tell me from which <strong>famous band</strong> I used a (slightly changed) quote for this line of the song (see picture above) and <a href="http://www.aaron-koenig.com/contact/"><strong>send me the solution</strong></a> together with your email address.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Then I will send you an MP 3 of <em><strong>Blockchain Eternity</strong></em> - &nbsp;I hope you will like it!</p>
