Sounds Like
the CD but with less instruments and more mistakes...
Jason: How's it going in Tunesmithville? Thought you might find my accidental self-portrait amuisng. The double chin is fierce! The stubble strictly film noir.
Hey, thanks for the great music on Friday. It was a pleasure meeting you. I am planning a CD release party in the fall. I will let you know, you have to come!
Hey hopeful monster! Great set at the NOW Lounge, it was a pleasure playing in the same night as you. Loved the orchestration and arrangements. Looking forward to seeing you play again. All the best, Jane's Party.
Hey, just listening to your songs in the playuh. I really dig "Uncivilized" a lot. Nice, nice work. Congrats on the Nottingham appearance/coverage! Well deserved. --Scott
Hi Hopeful Monster! Thanks for your support as a fan. keep us informed of where and when your playing, as your album frequents our ears as inspiration from a talented local artist. Please be one of the first to check out our updated site with NEW TRACKS from our LATEST ALBUM... VOYAGERS... Thanks, THE ODYSSEYS
Hi, how are you. Yesterday I added a solo "live" recording of me
performing a great from the Bacharach/David songbook, "(Do You Know the
Way to) San Jose?". Me and an acoustic guitar and few bum notes. Have a
listen.
El Monster! Please have a listen to my new song, “Consideration” in the mighty MySpace player. It features me and that perfect percussive palooka, Anthony Allen of Washington, D.C. Not a real mix, but pretty much finished. It will appear on my next album, Smellicopter, in 2010/2011. Please “subscribe” to me if you haven’t already. You need to be in the loop, right?
Jason: Still digging your sounds, mon. Here's the word from my end, though. I've just now released my latest album, previously available only as a download on compact disc. Fifteen tracks of pop glory. Available directly from me.
