Thoughts, Raves & Outright Beatings

Back?

Posted by: bigstarlet on: February 27, 2008

As you two or three regulars may have noticed, I disappeared for a while.  I missed the Oscars (Yay Glen and Marketa!).  I missed the Obama/Clinton catfights.  All just to put together a CD of songs created using a couple of guitars and a handheld computer.

Yes, I’m done with it.  Made a few mistakes.  Inadvertently sent those mistakes to the RPM Challenge folks before realizing that I had to listen to it FIRST! Grrrrrrrrrrr!  Stayed up WAY too many nights on my way down to the wire, so as to do a “remaster” to reprovide to the RPM Challenge folks.  And now I’m feeling sick as a dog.

So, as you all can see, I’m too out of the loop to comment on anything really important.  All I can see is that McCain is looking to be like Bush II, with his apparent commitment to keeping troops in Iraq.  And Huckabee would usher in the the Republic of Gilead, should he be elected.  And Obama and Clinton…I don’t who would be worse.   Massive taxation, or a Bush II with a liberal face.  You all can decide who’s who.

It’s just like 2000.  The calculated risk involved in choosing what would appear the least of the evils.  Sigh…

I’m just so into this, let me tell you.

Anyway, I’ve set up an account on Discmakers to do an initial run of CDs.  It’s cheap and I can do the setup myself.  In the interim, I’ll be doing a psuedo-Radiohead and set up an oggcast previewing the CD come Sunday.    You can all post your fabulous (or snickering) reviews of my “masterpiece”.

As an experiment, I’m doing an all out distribution and promo of this CD.  CD Baby.  Itunes.  Ads on Myspace. The works.  Seriously, I want to see just how far I can take this project, because, despite it’s humble preparations (plus occasionally pitchy singing and embarrassing lyrical content), I’m quite proud of it.  I’ll also need to learn how to play these songs on my guitar.  YIKES!

Anyway, more news as it comes. 

Oh, and if anyone cares, I’ve unbanned Ryan Jerz from this blog. I can’t hold a grudge, and I’m sure he’ll be pleased as punch to get the news (BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!).
