    Thanks for the support, guys. I just want to give a quick explanation for why this isn’t happening. The very same day I posted this to my Facebook site, a few people wrote to me to let me know that various DJs were already trashing the project publicly in various music forums. I’m not usually one to let others dictate what music I make, but I hadn’t even begun hashing out a deal with Gary. I was informed by our mutual friend that he would require at least $5,000 up front. There is still a good chance that I would have spent a considerable amount of my own money, and frankly my time and resources are better used creating my own music to give away for free, which I have been doing a great deal of over the past several years. I don’t feel the need to constantly defend my work, and yet that is precisely what some of these people expect of me. If I can get Mr. Coleman to make a record for a major share of the profits, I will. However, I would prefer to have this go down without having to beg for money. Thanks for your interest, and many apologies.

    I closed the campaign, “Help Pay Gary Coleman to Make a Noise Record”.

    I was being called an opportunist by DJs who like to follow me around the Internet, and I’d rather just continue making noncommercial music for the rest of my life.

    Thanks for your pledge. Sorry it didn’t work out.
