hey. so here is a bad idea. Harper Collins book publishers called. they wanted me to write a book. i said, “i am boring”. they said, “we like your blogs”. i said, “okay”… so…here comes the hardback version of myself. ”Drinking With Strangers: Lessons From A Teenage Bullet Belt” is finally here. it’s not my favorite thing to do (shameless self-promo) but just as my hand was forced to type the long-form version of my life for this thing, they said i should mention it’s release date October 25th, 2011.
if anything, you should read it because it can be funny at times, and maybe you will learn what NOT to do in the music world (there’s also some funny pie chart illustrations throughout).
enjoy my introduction into the literary world…
cheers,
Butch
Drinking with Strangers: Music Lessons from a Teenage Bullet Belt
19 Sep 2011 
A primer for anyone who wants to make it in the music business, “Drinking with Strangers“, is interspersed with lots of Butch-isms, including “the world’s most depressing pie chart about music publishing”; how in 1984 his production “studio” consisted of a boom box, today it’s a Studer and Pro Tools; how to make a really bad music video and spend 3x what the album cost to make and more.
Butch says, “If anything, you should read it because it can be funny at times, and maybe you will learn what NOT to do in the music world (there’s also some funny pie chart illustrations throughout)“.
