I know you’re probably sick of this song by now, but if you were waiting for it to show up on iTunes, then today is your lucky day! It’s my first “new” music on iTunes in years. Yippee!
Britain invited me the beta of Sound Cloud, so I uploaded some of my weirder tracks to the site and am playing around with their embedded player widgets… let’s try it together!
Hey there! Thanks to you, I beat Moby on the Lala.com Electronic charts and have the #1 song in the Christian section of the site (at least for today!). That’s awesome. Thanks, everyone!
I’m still working on an official Phreakbox page, but if you cannot wait for the CDs, they’re available now in CD-on-demand format from Kunaki.com. The disc features a full color insert and on-disc printing, are shrink-wrapped, and look pretty cool (the store site has a pretty cool 3-D rendering of the package). Make sure your CD player can play CD-R discs (as that appears to be the format kunaki uses, though I could be mistaken) before ordering, though, to avoid disappointment upon arrival. The CDs are $9.87 (the 16th number in the Fibonacci sequence) plus shipping.
Buy Phreakbox v1.4: The Instrumentals here!
Oh, and thanks for the listens on Lala.com. As of this afternoon, I’m the fourth-highest-played Electronic artist of the last seven days - Moby is #6. Woohoo!
The 13th-most-listened-to Electronic artist on Lala.com, that is. Since the new streaming music and download service, Lala.com, listed my new album before iTunes, I’ve been spending some time poking around the website. It turns out relatively few listens separate the 14th electronic artist from the 13th. All YOU have to do, gentle reader, is point your browser to my Lala.com page and click play. You can turn down the volume on your computer if you absolutely can’t stand my music, but the more plays I get, the higher I’ll be on the charts. Maybe I can even get higher than the Chemical Brothers (and maybe even Moby!), before the site gets more well-known and the popular artists start getting more plays.
Well, I thought it would take a few more weeks, but apparently three days is all it takes for Amazon MP3 and Lala to post your new album on their websites for listening (LaLa gives you the first listen for free) and purchase. iTunes, Rhapsody, and eMusic, it seems take a bit longer.
So, yeah: phreakbox v1.4: The Instrumentals is out today!!!!
Expect a full page for the album soon, including a link to purchase a physical CD copy of the product (once I approve it). But in the meantime if you want to get your (mostly) mellow electronic jazz downtempo loungecore chiptune worldbeat groove on, head over to the album on Amazon MP3 or Lala and give it a listen (and if you like it, download a track or two or the whole album). It’s very chill.
Also, while at Amazon MP3 or Lala (and soon iTunes and Rhapsody) you may notice another single I’ve recently released, “The Flying House of Loreto”.
This is a track I did a little while back which has become very popular on the net (to date this year, it’s been downloaded over 16,000 times from my website). If you like, give it a listen and a download too. It may just give you the inspiration you need to do whatever it is you need to do today (heck, I mean, if a house can fly anything is pretty much possible). Jackie did the cover design for the single, incorporating one of her recent fiber art pieces… I’ve gotten a lot of good feedback on that.
And, as always, if you haven’t gotten your daily dose of Robot Love recently, you can download my first CD on iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon MP3 and a number of other places around the net.
We just created our very own YouTube Channel. At the moment it mostly just has my animation and video projects. If you haven’t seen them before, though, be sure to check them out (my personal favorite is still “Peas Grow There” because it’s just so stupid, but you are free to disagree). Look for new stuff posted in the future!
Super Toilet is a character created by our son and his friends in Kindergarten. To date, our son has written three Super Toilet adventure books (you can read the second one here) and Super Toilet will also soon be starring in his own video game. So it seemed fitting that he should have his own theme song, explaining what he’s all about.
Lyric:
Flying through the sky
He’s a very super guy
But he’s not really a guy
He’s a toilet
When evil’s all around,
He’ll protect the town
From anyone around
Who would spoil it.
When Evil Toilet or Mister Poop
Or Mini-Man or Jake-O plan
A devilish plot,
He can foil it.
With his friends Codo,
Bird, Wolf, and a weed-eater,
He is the one called
SUPER TOILET!
Seven-and-a-half years after I release the darn thing, the reviews are in! And they (well, it) are (is) glowing. I’m not sure who undomondo is, but they really like my Robot Love CD. Which makes them very cool in my book. Actually, since I think they really managed to articulate what I was trying to do with that album better than I ever could, I’ll post the entire review here (click on more). I don’t think my mom wrote it… never can tell with these Internets, though. (more…)
