Undoubtedly one of our favorite Kickstarter projects Of All Time, Jonathan Mann's Song-A-Day was an inspired act of fearlessness, passion, creativity, and, oh yeah: songwriting! Starting on January 1st, 2009, Jonathan wrote and video recorded one song every day to overcome the deadliest writer's block out there — the possibility that he might suck. But, as Jonathan noted (quite triumphantly!): SO WHAT?

Back in April, Jonathan raised nearly $13,000 to write and record one song every day for the month of June. He live-streamed the entire process and asked backers to vote for their ten favorite songs to make it onto the album, which is being released TODAY, September 28th! Arranged, produced, and recorded with the Spinto Band's Nick Krill and Thomas Hughes, Matt Payne of the Glowing Stars, and Liam McCormick of The Family Crest, Song a Day: The Album is officially upon us!

Tonight, Jonathan's record release party and unveiling of the 1,000th song will go down at Red Devil Lounge at 7 pm in San Francisco. There will be a stings section at the show! Stringz!!

Jonathan's free-flowing creativity has lead to such Song-A-Days as #77's "Hey Paul Krugman (A Song, A Plea)" (which landed him a live performance on Rachel Maddow), #561's iPhone Antenna Song (later used by Steve Jobs to intro Apple's "Antennagate" press conference), and #355's "Puking My Guts" (performed live from the tub while battling what appeared to be some pretty gruesome food poisoning. Ironically one of few tracks to not go viral...). Jonathan even wrote two songs about Kickstarter! (Peep #819 for the track he's more proud of!) "Are You a Real Person?" (video above) is the second track off his new album.

Jonathan breaks his songs down to a 70-20-10 principle. Meaning, if you randomly select one out of his 1,000 songs, Jonathan thinks there's a 70% chance that song is mediocre, 20% chance it flat out blows, but a "10% — glorious 10% — chance that it will be totally, completely awesome." Thing is, watch just a few of his videos and you'll know that's a very polite lowball. Dude is kind of the man. And that's probably because "so what?" isn't just nice phrase, but a real live state of mind. We hope and trust there are some Kickstarter creators out there who feel the "so what" principle as deeply as Jonathan does. No doubt that's exactly what's led to some of our favorite projects.
