Thought you might dig this.  I wrote it a few days ago.  It’s inspired by Series 5 of the new Doctor Who on BBC.  It’s called “Amelia” (or “Yes, I Filked Murray Gold”)



And I HAVE decided that a slightly less rough version will be on “How To Be A Superhero”.

So I’ve got two weeks left on the kickstarter.  I… or rather WE… have raised $667.  I did go ahead and decide that I’m going to go with CDBaby as opposed to Groove House.  I’d like to go with Groove House but, due to my own poor planning, I didn’t set my goal high enough to be able to afford them.  To be honest, I’m kindof okay with that.  This is ( Read more... )

I was silly.  I got excited, started a kickstarter project, figured I could ALWAYS raise more money LATER for the CD project, and DID NOT get a quote from the CD printer that I’m hoping to use for the project.

Ideally I’d like to go with Groove House, and they quoted me something close enough to $900 that I might as well go ahead and call it that ( Read more... )

Every once in a while I get in a mood to read works by a lot of skeptics.  Folks like Richard Dawkins.  Yep, I invoked the all-British-politeness name of Dawkins himself.  Shivver at my intolerance.

So it’s been a little while since I posted anything and I thought it would be nice if I did.

The Wandering Falcon featured the songs “How To Be A Superhero” and “500 Orcs” in Episode 9 of his podcast, which can be found here.  Both of these are in their “rough recording” format of course, but it was very cool of him!!

Okay so yes, Chris Canary of “The Wondering Falcon” DOES happen to live in my home and be engaged to me and whatnot.

Chris was investigating the Kickstarter site and trying to figure out how to get my album project Kickstarter featured on Kickstarter’s main site.  Apparently the only way to do this is through activity.  Pledges. Which basically means that if I GET enough attention, they will give me MORE attention.

Hrm.

So I had this idea.

If I can get a ( Read more... )

Okay, so here’s the thing…

I need a new guitar.

When I first started the Kickstarter project for my debut CD, I was planning on using the little accoustic Seagull guitar that was given to me once upon a time by a friend of mine.  She’s still got a nice enough sound… but she’s got some issues.  I’ve had her for ten years and she was used when she ( Read more... )

We’ve reached our minimum goal for pledges on this project, but like I mentioned yesterday, we’re not done yet! We’ve got 45 days to continue to raise funds to make the project EVEN MORE AWESOME. The number that I quoted at the beginning will cover a new microphone and the first order of CD’s from the printer and that’s ALL. Beyond that all I’ve ( Read more... )
