Coming soon to a college radio station near you - this album! I got the CDs from the manufacturer this week. Since I have to send 300 copies to stations, I spent a big chunk of the weekend putting discs in mailers and slapping on labels and stamps. In case you're interested, postage for 300 CDs to the US (with a few going to Canada) is around $700. Taylor Swift makes that in, like, a minute and a half, but for me, that's real money. That figure drives home all the more that this is my most expensive album. I can't say exactly how much, but the very real prospect that I'll get back nothing from this effort is truly depressing. I mean, it's a really good album. It's got 49 tracks, so you're bound to like something in there. It hasn't quite been released on CD Baby; that's a few weeks away, but I do have quite a good feeling about it - as I did for all the others. I don't expect KEXP to play anything on it. That's fine, because this album features a real boss tune about blowing them up. There's a lot of yelling, "Kaboom!" and such. Fun!
Anyhow, when the great day of release arrives, I'll post a link. You don't have to buy anything; just preview the damn thing. It's good. I wouldn't lie to you about that.
