How A Fan Used iOS Devices To Listen To Variety Picnic

Media_httpayfrogcomim_bjesq

Here is Variety Picnic Superfan Asad Naqvi's incredible story of how he used iOS Devices and several apps just to hear our new song "In The Middle Of The Night" while he was traveling on the Long Island Rail Road.

I was having an itch to listen to Varity Picnic's hot new single "In The Middle Of The Night". Sadly I had not had a chance to sync it to my iPhone. What was I to do? With an hour train ride ahead of me I decided to utilize my various devices and electronics to satisfy my need. I quickly fired up my Log Me In app on my iPhone and took control of my MacBook at home to download the song for Free! from the Variety Picnic site. I then copied it to my DropBox folder. Once my DropBox was synced I launched the app on my iPhone. Streaming was not a great option as the train was moving and so was my connection from cell tower to cell tower. I then used the app to email my self a link to the the file. I needed a way to download a file to one of my devices. I then used MiWi tethering app to tether my iPad to my iPhone's Internet connection. I then copied the link from my email and launched GoodReader that had the capability to download files via a URL. I pasted the link and began the download of the sweet new song. I felt the need to tweet about my actions. I took a picture of my iPad downloading the file and the felt like making some adjustments to the photo before uploading to twitter. I emailed it my iPad and opened it up in the Free Zagg PhotoPad app. I cropped it and color corrected it then saved it. I then opened the Twitter app to tweet what had done. By this time the song had finished downloading and I could enjoy the song right in the GoodReader app. I could now relax to my new fav tune. Have a great story like Asad's? Post it in the comments below.

New Song: In The Middle Of The Night

Earlier on Facebook this week I said a Christmas single was in the works but I didn't promise that it would ever see the light of day. That song is still being worked on and I'm still not sure that I'll ever release it. Last night as I was tinkering around on my keyboard, I came up with this song and decided to release it today. The goal now for Variety Picnic is to release music as frequently as I can and then once I have a decent amount of songs, I will have people vote on their favorites. Those favorites will be touched up and be included on the second album which as of right now will be called Synth Sauce.
