Title: Bitcoin tips accepted, Ginger St James - Diesel and Peas, new album funding!
Post by: teflone on April 20, 2012, 03:59:31 PM

Im also trying to persude her to accept bitcoins as another means to raise funds for her next album.

Truthfully, I think shes got star power, and a great voice obviously..   Looks dont hurt either ;)

Shes quite popular in town, and has a strong following in Toronto area (Golden Horseshoe).

Shes a singer/songwriter of course, but also plays a very good acoustic guitar.

Check her out, donate if you can.



Here is a bitcoin tipjar for her, show her some bitcoin love!

Being a member of the crowd I'ld love to help support this musician ... by purchasing her music.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any of her singles or albums on CoinDL though.  (hint, hint).

Yeah, she's more than welcome to list her music on coinDL. I can help get it uploaded if needs be.

If I were her, I'd try to find another picture as that one has her head cut off.

Also, where can we hear some of her music? Google shows no hits for 'diesel and peas'.

Im a little busy right this min, but the best way to hear her stuff, or learn a lot more about her is through Facebook, she has a fan page you can sub to, she also has a personal page, but shes shutting it down in favor of the fan page..

Ginger St James, she has a few youtubes here and there, I will try to compile a small list of them..

Update, going to have a sit down with her, I think I peaked her interest.

Im fairly certain I can get her a wallet and address to send coins to thats all hers.   :)


If this community can show some support through bitcoin donations, I will personally be indebted to whoever does. No lie..

Lets show a professional musician the power bitcoin. :D

I just watched a couple of her videos on YouTube and have to admit she's not bad at all. In fact, with a little marketing, she could be the Lady Gaga of Country Music. A name change may also be in order, but doesn't need to deviate that much from her current moniker. Without putting too much thought into it--Ginge.

I think it would be great to rally around a singer put our full might behind someone so we can show the world the power of the bitcoin and community!  ;D

Thats how I feel and I think living in Ontario offers a HUGE amount of avenues to really break out into mainstream, there is a massive media company in Toronto, CHUM, Much Music, ect.  And Can-con dosent hurt :)

There is a lot of talent comming out of my neck of the woods, the band Walk off the Earth somehow made a bit of fame by covering Gotye's "Somebody I used to know" in a clever video with one guitar on you tube..  http://walkofftheearth.com/ (http://walkofftheearth.com/)

All it takes is that one 'break'..  

I think her name is good for her style, I think she'll go much further than she realizes..  

With some marketing, who knows..  :D

Heres a good example of what she brings to the table..

From a session at Imagefm, an indie radio station.
She won a Alternative country music award for this song.

Lol, you guys send her a few coins, and I promise Ill introduce you if your ever in the Toronto area, and can roll your tongues back into your mouths!

No lie :)

I would really like to see a little bitcoin response, so she can take it seriously.. :)

Shes out on the east coast right now on tour, I just talked with her, she thought the tipjar was a neat way to do it.

It's too bad LilithFair isn't still a big festival/tour like it used to be, otherwise, she would be 'in like Flynn'....

She needs to make a 'Sarah Mclaughlin' or 'Jan Arden' type of contact in the industry to get the ball rollin' for her.
I have seen far worse than her, get much further along in their careers....if only due to 'contacts'..

I think there's definitely a market for her music (and I listen to Metal...LOL).

Agreed, I think she already has some big names looking at her, but a blatant star like you said would send her to the top so fast her head would spin..   

Its not everyday you see someone about explode into the mainstream media, which already is occurring locally.

For her, it truly only takes seeing one show of her live for anyone, males/females equally to get hooked..

Dont forget she has a great backing band, her boys are great talents in their own rights too.. 

But of course, shes the show stealer :P

Thanks for the feedback.

Are you logged into facebook while clicking link ?

Can you try liking her fan page if possible ? then clicking link ?

Actually on a second look it looks like that is because you have to be her friend to see it..

Oh well..

You realize also IBB owns a stake in it surprise Sen didn't mention anything  :P

Teflone: is money donated to Ginger have anything to do with IBB ? I don't want to host a tip jar if it is related to IBB.  (In this case I will deliver the funds and will close the tip jar.)

As stated on Propster policy: https://propster.me/content/howto.html

We are picky

The short version: We don't support religious and socialist causes.

The long version: We believe in the natural human rights. They are the right to private property and the right to pursue objectives which do not infringe on the private property of others. We find that religion and socialism are working against these rights, albeit sometimes indirectly. We will reject projects that are against our philosophy.

No, Im not religious at all.

Also I have nothing to do with IBB these days, other than investing a little in it here and there.

Senbonzakura is just a good friend and good guy, and I try to help him when I can.

Also for the record, IBB is not a social or religious "cause" it just operates in a manner that does not interfere with Senbon's beliefs, him being a Muslim, following Sharia. Sharia being a bunch of rules/ideas to live by..  thats all.

In otherwords, some people dont eat pork or drink alcohol, due to their beliefs, so if they operate a company that sells meats and beverages, chances are they wouldnt sell pork or alcohol.

He operates a IBB in a specific manner, the biggest most obvious being not charging interest, as it is against his beliefs.

Hope that clears that up a bit for you.


Thanks for asking.


And for the record, bacon is my favorite food group, it makes everything better..   :D
