...but you can't listen to it yet because I'm on dialup. It's going to take maybe a week to get all of the songs hosted (most likely as 160k MP3).
In any case. I'm working on an album cover and liner notes, hopefully to be completed tomorrow. I'm willing to ship copies of the album to those who want one on CD (obviously, I'll burn the discs from my uncompressed audio files rather than from the lossy MP3s), at least until it starts to significantly impact my wallet.
The album is called Idolatry. In essence, it's a tribute album. Here's a track list:
Untitled 1 Grind Don't You Move Guitar Syrup, with Coda Dissolvent Symbiont Kowloon Heat The Size of the World Pretty Good Meizi Secret Song

Do I have to brag about how I'm cooler than everyone else because I've known you for something like 2 decades on every forum or can GreNME be my home base of asserting my coolness-by-association?
Edit: Your wish is my command! *bows* *scrapes* *scrabbles*

Nope, I just figured I'd cross-post so Zotto (among others) can see it. I may crosspost to Sakeriver as well just to be sure I catch everyone. Heck, maybe even Galactic Cactus...
What you CAN do, though, is stick the missing "you" into your sentence. I'm sure you can work out where it belongs Posts: 10886 | Registered: Feb 2000

I just went and listened to a couple of the versions you have on your website currently, and I would very much like an album. Would be happy to pay for it. I'm sending e-mail to the addy in your profile... if that's not right, please let me know. Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

Tell you what, I'll bring one with me, and if we don't stop in Wellington I'll just mail it to you while I'm in NZ. I'm hoping we can stop in Wellington, though, 'cause I think it would be fun to have a Hatrack.co.nz meet Posts: 10886 | Registered: Feb 2000

Btw, twinky, with all my talking about names and stuff, I didn't address the rest of your post... I might be interested in buying one too, once you get the details figured out!

Well, for the people who feel like they MUST pay for at least some of the shipping costs (which, by the way, is the limit of what I will allow anyone to pay for this particular record, it is quite literally a labour of love and I refuse to accept payment for it), I do have a PayPal account. If you're going to be insistent I can provide you with that sort of info.
The cover art and liner notes are coming along nicely and should be done in the next few days. I still need to buy cases but after that I can begin making shipments.
The liner notes will say "copyright 2004" on them, but the copyright probably won't go through until November sometime. Needless to say, since I'm giving this away for free, I'm not going to prosecute anyone who infringes the copyright by making copies for someone else. (Especially since the songs will be available as a free download on my website -- which reminds me, I really need to get my website cleaned up.)

I should add, by the way, that the discs themselves won't be fancy-schmancy. Just burned copies of the album from the raw AIFF files with the name and author written on them in permanent marker. I don't really have the time before my trip to NZ to get custom discs pressed, and in any case I view that as more of a second album thing. Posts: 10886 | Registered: Feb 2000

Right, the cover art is done, the copies are made, each is in its own padded envelope with a note, and they will all be placed in the mail tomorrow.
Plus the copyright application form has been downloaded (though not filled out or filed).

Not in the "signature" sense, no, but then my signature sucks and is relatively inconsistent.
However, I was packaging the discs late at night and forgot to test them in my parents' stereo before sealing the packages, so on the off chance the disc doesn't actually WORK I can send you a copy with my "signature" on it.
I'm just excited that it's done Posts: 10886 | Registered: Feb 2000

Congrats on finishing the album! I was able to download the songs from the site just fine, so there's no need to send me a disc. It sounds pretty good so far. I'm diggin' the amplitude tribute. Posts: 298 | Registered: Sep 2004
