It’s that time of year when the lovebirds are out and people start sending little Valentines to the ones who have their heart. What’s better than knowing you’re giving of yourself and letting someone else know how you feel about them? Not much. Except maybe for winning the lottery. In this case I have an offer for you and it’s all in the the name of love. Aw.
Right now when you click on this music player below, you get a chance to be serenaded by me for my song “Falling In”. In the immortal words of other people:
“That song is so cool. Not only to listen to, but also to watch you play.” – W.S.
“You’re a victim of your own coolness with ‘Falling In’.” – M.B.
“The coolest love song ever that doesn’t flat out say the word love.” – G.L.III
Here’s the even better part to this deal. Right now, for a very a limited time, when you “Share” this song via the player. You can get this song for free! That’s right, you read that correctly. I will give you the song for free. All you need to do is click on the download button and “Share” it. You’ll be taken on a magical internet ride to a special place to get “Falling In” for free. All in the name of love.
Hurry though, because this offer ends when Valentines Day ends.
Share it
Who says a rockstar doesn’t love you?
Enjoy!

Aw, I’m getting a little choked up. I’m getting featured on Taylor Guitar’s website. This is actually pretty cool. I was asked by Taylor Guitars if I would do a little clip about how I got a particular guitar sound for the trailer Goats. Well, here it is in all it’s glory.
The bonus is, I’ve been asked to do more of them. So stay tuned. As I complete projects that utilize my favorite acoustic guitars (Taylor Guitars ahem hem). Then there will be more of them.
Enjoy
p.s. – There’ll likely be an update before long when Dean Markley also ends up posting this.
To all my lovely Unity 42 friends, I’m now appearing on Utah Musicians Radio. Little known fact is that I grew up in Utah (no, I’m not mormon). It’s an online radio station that features what else but music from people who create it and are in Utah. As I’m on a break, creating new music (in Utah), it’s only fitting that I’m pushing a little bit of the airwaves too.

The song Hero Unexpected has gone into rotation on their site / stream. Take a moment and listen to them wherever you are.
There’s going to be a bit of a surprise about this station soon as well. I’ll keep you wondering what that is for now.
Go forth and enjoy the music!

There comes a time in each of our lives where we have to make a change. Something that will alter our karma. Such is the case with a new movie coming out in which David Duchovny stars. One of the important facts about Goats trailer is that the music was done by me. So click in and sit back for an interesting ride about coming of age in a strange family.
I had a hand in writing both songs. The first is known as Wired (co-written with Trudee Lunden), the second is tracked as Hidden Goat an instrumental track I was hired to create for the trailer.
The really amazing thing is that this trailer was released quite recently during the Sundance Film Festival. To add more trivia to the pot, there’s already several “remixes” and repostings of the trailer around the web. That concludes my little report on facts about Goats.
Enjoy!
p.s. – if you’ve seen the movie, or do see the movie, let me know. I’ve yet to see it.
There’s an adage that states, better late than never. That is part of the story line behind this movie. Those words also fit the fact that I didn’t post this sooner. What this means is it’s my first appearance on Apple’s trailer website. I couldn’t be happier in that I did all the music for this trailer of Father Of Invention starring Kevin Spacey.
Here’s the link: Father Of Invention <- to the page at Apple’s Trailer Website.
If you’re more inclined to see it right here, then look below.
Enjoy!
p.s. – if you’ve seen the movie, let me know. I’ve yet to see it and I’m a fan of Kevin Spacey.
As an artist with a vested interest in being able to make money with my art I understand the push to help protect IP rights. I’ve seen the protests online. I’ve heard some of the rhetoric flying around. I’ve even been sent an email that have the talking points of an organization that approves of it and why. However, I personally have not read it. Been a little too busy to spend time doing so. While I understand why a bunch of sites want to “black out” today. I obviously didn’t.
I didn’t out of the fact that I can’t go based on hearsay from both sides. The only way to stage a protest is to be informed and sadly – I’m not informed on this matter. Which is why I’m posting about this today. I respect you for wanting to go dark if you want to go dark. I respect you if you stay lit with your site.
Until I know the facts I actually have to sit this one out until I get time to read it.
Peace and hopefully the right thing gets decided on this.
** Update – Contest has ended. Thank you for all your submissions! **
That’s right, you can help me create an awesome name for my insider’s club to my music. Lady Ga Ga has her Monsters, Maroon 5 has S.I.N. (strength in numbers), KISS has the KISS Army, Train has Trainline, John Mayer has (or had) Local 83, etc. You get the picture. Essentially I’ve got a temporary name in place over to the right column there (J-POP, for Jody’s Power Of People). However, I’ve found out that J-POP has a very different meaning in Japan and rather than stay with it, I’m looking to find something else that is fitting to the music and you the fan.
What do you have to do?
Put your thinking cap on and start coming up with simple ideas that promote the music, the fans, the idea of being healthy and being environmentally conscious. It’s primarily about the music, but if there is a way to combine those elements by keeping it short and sounding cool – then you may very well win. Enter as many ideas as you’d like. But for each entry you will need to provide a short blurb/essay about your entry to explain it what makes it cool.
You do have to sign up for my email list, if you’re not already on it [quick, painless, and the form is on the ride side of this page]. Once you’ve done that and when you have your entry ready email it via the contact page. Please use the Subject “Fan Club Entry”. You may earn bonus points for making a video about your entry, posting it to YouTube and linking it.
What is the deadline?
Entries need to be submitted by February 10th 10 p.m. e.s.t (entries received after that time won’t be considered).
If there are multiple entries that contain the same name/term then it will be the first one submitted that will win the grand prize. Other entries will win a subsequent prize.
What is the winner’s prize?
The winning entry will get a copy of my entire released catalog.
If there are alternate winners, they will get a copy of a single song of mine of their choice.
When do I find out if I win?
The winner will be announced here on jodywhitesides.com on February 14th at 10 a.m. p.s.t. Cause I love you [in a purely adoring way].
What are you waiting for?
Starting brainstorming and get your entries in!
Who among us doesn’t want to get into better shape? Of course there’s a multibillion dollar industry geared towards fancy gadgets and pills to help lose weight and to look better naked. That’s the whole point right? To look better naked? I think so.
For those of us who prefer to workout at home while looking at hot women, there’s a new exercise regimen. This one is by the creator of the Pussy Cat Dolls. Ok, this program isn’t geared towards men per se, but it’s certainly worth watching your woman get into better shape right?
Why do I know about this?
That’s why.
I did the music for this little trailer. So get your PCD dance on and enjoy your way to a hotter figure!
