So I have been spending this beautiful snowy Sunday morning in New York City in my pajamas going through a list of music blogs to submit my album to and it can be a little overwhelming. From one little blog roll I’ve found a whole lot of music blogs, and putting them all together in a workable database is challenging and fun. It’s not hard work, but it does take up a lot of time. It makers me a little sad that I haven’t been using this space for talking about music as much as I’d like to. Still there are only so many hours in a day, and you have to choose your battles wisely.
Speaking of album preparation, right now I’m in the limbo stage where my album is at the duplicator waiting to be pressed. First there was minor artwork issues (the blues and yellows bled to make green, who knew?) and then there was master recording issues (who knew the burnt CD with some schmootz on the bottom was going to be corrupted?) but now all that has been (hopefully) straightened out.
So I’m hoping to have the albums in hand by the new year, and ready to send them out to local radio, press, podcasts and blogs. If you are a radio station, newspaper or zine, podcast or blog, or write/play music for one, definitely let me know if you’d want to get a review copy. What this means for you the general public/fans is that the countdown for the album release has started. As of now, we’re shooting for a 3/2/10 release date. Thus, the countdown has begun!
