Looking good, no? Romance Language 2 be shipping no later than Friday, which means the preorder window is until tomorrow night. Also, orders after Monday afternoon won’t ship for a couple weeks as I’ll be out of town, so, that’s all the more reason to get a move on if you’re impatient, though I guess the truly impatient will always be able to hit up bandcamp, as I should have it for sale there by Sunday/Monday.

The Return of the Classic / Registery

So, I’ve put my first full album on bandcamp, both as in my first release via the site, and my first nerdcore album revision4920. What was once out of print is now available for 5 bucks in just about any audio format you could want. Everything else I want to sell immediately (along with some freebie stuff) should be making it’s way to the site this weekend.
Also, I finally got registered for classes at SFU. Next week: getting a study permit/student visa.

More hipster than nerdcore, but I wanted a little American Apparel flavor.

More Paypal / RL2 Pre-Order

This time around, it’s for my new solo CD, Romance Language 2. What do you get by preordering? 4 dollars off, and two autographed photos that will otherwise only be available at live performances. In terms of CD specifics, it’s clocking in at about 51 minutes and 15 songs, though that’s before any remixes/bonuses I tag on there. The release date will technically be December 1st, though I’d like to ship them as soon as I get them in. It will also be for sale on bandcamp.com. The first 10 preorders will be emailed an advance track off the new record direct to their inbox.
EDIT: Pre-order over. And I only got 5 of them 🙁

Last few days for Rai Preorders – Performances!
Posted on November 3rd, 2009

Yeah, pre-orders will end before Aki-Con, and the prices will pop up considerably. As such, you should probably get on that while it’s cheap. Meanwhile, Rai will be at Aki-Con, performing late Sunday. Hold up on your post-convention Denny’s, and stick around for a great show. Trust me, it’s worth it.
If you’re looking for some me performing, come December 13th, you’re in luck as long as you’re 21+. Full details are in the shows section, but the short story is I’m performing with Death*Star again in Seattle at the Jewel Box. Come out, support local Nerdcore, buy a copy of Romance Language 2 and have a great time.

Simplifying Preorders For Rai’s Record (Edit: It’s Over)
Posted on October 17th, 2009
Filed under: Music News — Karl Olson @ 7:08 pm
US Preorder ($10 US)
International Preorder ($15 US)
A reminder as to why you may want this: Rai Kamishiro Promo Video Go!
Plus, it’ll save you money, and if you’re quick about it, you might still get the LE version with alternate cover art and secret bonus material – ah, the LE is sold out; however, there are still plenty (ok not really, this first run is going to be fairly limited too) of delicious regular editions to buy too.
EDIT: Pre-order’s are over folks! Check back later for regular order links.

Ok, that’s probably an over exaggeration. After all, massive back-catalog of music to record and adept production work for new luminaries aside, I am only in the middle of readying both Rai’s debut album, Electric Sheep, and my new record, Romance Language Two. Actually, I’m done with Romance Language Two outside of mixing/mastering (well, I have another 3 or 4 songs I could record for it if time allows, maybe in November.) At the moment, everything I’ve got is being poured into Rai’s debut, and she’s putting as much time as her vocal chords and job allow on this to get it done in time for AkiCon 2009.
BTW, that’ll bring the official count of releases this year for me up to seven. A mixtape, a remix album, two mash up eps, two personal albums and a collaboration album. I won’t rest on that either cause I’m going to help Nursehella however I can with her debut record.
Oh and I’ll find time write another couple anime reviews in there too, and upload my records to bandcamp so all you folks can buy them via the internets. I may not be successful at what I do yet, but stopping me is easier said than done.
