Ironic Licensing

Strangest thing: I got an email from a friend who said that one of our songs was on an ESPN program. Begin Again, in fact.

We license the ISOAUT album through PumpAudio and they can license our music to whomever would like to use it. We get just a few bucks out of it, but it's nice to think that these songs begin to take on lives of their own...going out into that world of ours.

Still, how strange...a sports program.

I had some buffering problems with the video, so I'm forced to conclude that the young man wants to quit basketball and go on tour with Cobalt Season. A wise man, indeed.

I think the key to monetizing TCS will be in utilizing keywords and search terms to be more immediately appealing to ESPN. So, if I could be so bold, I would suggest you rename some of your songs:

"Careful not to draw your maps" becomes "Comeback"
"My Pilgrimage" becomes "I get knocked down (but I get up again)"
"Longest Day" becomes "One game at a time."
"Unified Theory (House Remix)" becomes "To the endzone".
"Help Me Out Here" becomes "Defense!!"
And "Like Jesus" and "Something True" become "Rebuilding Year".
