The Following is a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions that I get here, at EricGinsberg.com. If your questions aren’t answered here, just go on ahead and drop me a line. Enjoy!

1. Where can I find Eric Ginsberg’s albums, “Disconnect” and “I’m Glad I’m Not As Cool As You”?

For now, “Disconnect” is only available as an advance unmastered studio release. You can purchase individual songs or the whole album in the Music page, or purchase a DiscRevolt card at one of eric’s upcoming Shows, or by mail from the online Store. Picking up my debut album, “I’m Glad I’m Not As Cool As You”, is pretty much the same story, except it’s available on the old-fashioned CD.

2. How do the DiscRevolt cards work?

Excellent question. Once the card is in your hand, the front has my pretty artwork, while the back give you directions to go to DiscRevolt.com and enter the PIN code on the back of the card. It works almost exactly like redeeming an iTunes gift card, but without all the pesky scratch-off business.

3. When will Eric’s tour be coming to my area?

You can take a gander at the sidebar to your right for the next handful of shows, you can visit the Shows page for the full schedule, and if you don’t see that I’m headed your way, there’s always the Eventful “Demand it!” button in the sidebar.

4. How can I get in contact with Eric?

All fan mail and questions can be sent to eric@ericginsberg.com. You’ll get an auto-reply that gives you my real e-mail address (’cause if I post it online, the robots find it, the box gets filled with spam, and then I can’t find your e-mail amongst the junk). You can also leave me a comment here on my site.

5. I often daydream about Eric Ginsberg during class. Is that normal?

Well, I am a bit of a rock star, I suppose, and if you’re into that kind of thing, I guess I can be reasonably attractive. And, I suppose that as long as your daydreaming isn’t effecting your grades, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

6. How can I get involved?

The best things that you can do are, in no particular order:
a) Help me improve this website
b) Get me a good gig in your area (sorry, but I can’t fly to Santa Fe to play gratis)
c) Buy songs and other merchandise
d) Download songs for free and share them with your friends
e) Spread the word (link to me, friend me on MySpace, and pester your friends, etc.)
f) Make a donation

7. Does Eric have a girlfriend?

No, Eric is currently single. However, I fail to see the relevance.

8. Who designed such a fantastic web site?

I’m glad you asked. I did most of the busy work, but heaps of credit where it’s due: most of the site is run from WordPress, which is all free and what-not. If you have questions, I’ll do my best to help you with them, since I had to pretty much learn it on my own and it hasn’t been easy. Also, I by-and-large borrowed a lot of my set-up (especially the tables, affilated sites/services, and which program to use) from Jonathan Coulton. He’s a much better code monkey than I am, so reading his code and relying heavily on the ctrl+a/ctrl+c/ctrl+v combo really helped (but so did doing a lot of reading). Photos are by Marnie Mitchel-Lister, and my logo is by Christine Vlahov.

9. How can I get Eric Ginsberg to sign my CD insert, DiscRevolt card, or anything else, for that matter?

If you want my autograph, first of all, I’m flatterred, and secondly, just show up. Come on out to one of my Shows and I’ll gladly sign anything you put in front of me (CDs, shirts, your baby, boobs, contracts…you name it)

10. I’m desperately in love with Eric Ginsberg.

I’m sorry, I fail to see the question.

11. What’s Eric’s birthday?

My birthday is August 4th, and I really appreciate fond birthday wishes, so feel free to leave me comments here on the site, e-mail me, or post birthday greetings on my MySpace.

12.Why aren’t a lot of Eric’s newer songs available here on EricGinsberg.com

Money, my dear…money. Recording is expensive and time-consuming, and I write a LOT. I’d love to do more live recording at my shows, though, and you’re always welcome to bring any recording devices you’d like and shout out your requests to get your very own personalized bootleg. I just ask that you a) don’t sell it and b) give me a copy to do with as I please (including selling it).

13. Eric Ginsberg is really great! Why doesn’t he have a recording contract?

Generally because I don’t want one. Don’t get me wrong, if the right one came along, I’d get on board, but the size of the advance isn’t what constitutes “right”. I’ve been in music business long enough to know that a recording contact is a bad bank loan with about a 2% chance of ever seeing any return.

14. I want to kill Eric Ginsberg to acquire his fame, and wear his skin like a suit so that I may be reborn into him.

Okay, you’re really creeping me out. Please stop e-mailing me.
