Comcast Rage

The internet line to my house is outright broken – can I see that a bird or squirrel must have nawed through it. How this hasn’t taken out my TV as well is beyond me, though maybe it’s muxed in the box on the side of my house. There are enough wires being slung over to make that plausible.
Anyway, upon calling Comcast at 10 in the morning today, they said they couldn’t get a truck out for a day. This has delayed the digital release. Sorry about that. Yell at them or something.
PS: I am so looking at FIOS after this. I’d get the Funimation channel too.

CD’s out

It’s for sale in the store for 14 US Dollars for shipment in the US, with a digital download via payloadz (for 4 bucks less,) forthcoming. If you’re impatient and/or you like hard copy, it’s all about the store, or if you’re at SakuraCon, buy it it in person for the cost of the digital release.

While waiting for my CD to arrive from the replicator

You can download the Desu Desu Desu Mixtape that I finally put together. It’s only 10 songs, only one of which you’ve all definitely not heard before, and one of which is just a remix. However, it’s free and weird. It’s also pretty raw production wise.

4 new songs are now up at the myspace. If you’re wondering what the new record is gonna sound like, what I’ve posted should give you a pretty good idea of what it’ll be like. Also, some promo copies are now making the rounds. If anyone actually talks about them, I’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Also, I’ll be at SakuraCon obviously. If you want to get a hold of me there, you should probably contact me in advance as it sounds like it’s going to be huge and thus difficult to find folks in a crowd.

Ok, found a solution.

Re-did the cover art for a standard jewel case, only ordering 50 copies. May or may not make it in time for SakuraCon. If not, ce la vie. It was a less a hard date than a timeframe to ensure I didn’t needlessly drag it out.

So, I have the choice of having the CD in my hands in time for Sakuracon (and paying a healthy premium) or missing Sakuracon but paying considerably less. Either way it looks like I’d have to ditch the DVD-style case as either I’m fighting DiscMakers stupid changes to their replication system, or I’m changing replicators all together.
Maybe I should just do digital distro and call it a day.

The album maybe effectively done. I just need to road check the master (listen to it in the car while the car is in motion.) If I’m happy with it, it goes to the replicators. Album cover after the break.

A New Song Off My Next Album
Posted on March 24th, 2009

Is now up at myspace. It is called “gothic lolitas” and it’s my ode to cosplayettes and gothlolis, and it features a pretty clubby beat too. Bump this at your con parties, con raves or any other otakucentric event you’re attending. Also, lyrics after the break.
Also, I’m one song (or less) away from completing vocal recording on The Fourth Estate, which would just leave the mixdown/mastering. If I’m serious about that, I could, maybe have a hard copy by SakuraCon 2009. I certainly could have it out on PayLoadz by then.

…time for a Grime Spree.
In short, it’s a cover of “Crime Spree” that is part MC Frontalot, part Dizzee Rascal, except with mediocre production and MC work! Get it while it’s fresh.
