No doubt you want to be noticed.  We all have the rock star aspirations that get us through the hourly jobs we all hate.  When considering distribution, keep your suspicions high.  Any music that is worth listening to moves best through word of mouth recommendations.  Start small, keep it to the myspace site that your geek-friend stylized for you.  Work the coffee shop and dive bar circut that every accomplished musician tells horror stories.

And no matter what, just remember that your biggest fan is your mother.  That is until she actually listens to what you've produced.
