Album is Done (for real this time!)

Cam finished his remaster of Burning Out the Red Lights and we will be sending to manufacturing and the digital stores in a matter of days! I am frantically trying to finish off the website and graphic design for the case art, expect a good announcement here (or maybe on the real site if I get it done soon enough) in the very near future…

Ghosts

Just another nail in the coffin of the monster that is the modern music industry…

Ghosts I-IV

Nine Inch Nails have made the surprise release of Ghosts I-IV, a 2-CD, 36-track release. Trent Reznor has the following to say:

We’re very proud to present a new collection of instrumental music, Ghosts I-IV. Almost two hours of music recorded over an intense ten week period last fall, Ghosts I-IV sprawls Nine Inch Nails across a variety of new terrain.Now that we’re no longer constrained by a record label, we’ve decided to personally upload Ghosts I, the first of the four volumes, to various torrent sites, because we believe BitTorrent is a revolutionary digital distribution method, and we believe in finding ways to utilize new technologies instead of fighting them.

We encourage you to share the music of Ghosts I with your friends, post it on your website, play it on your podcast, use it for video projects, etc. It’s licensed for all non-commercial use under Creative Commons.

Ghosts I, the first nine tracks of the album, is available free from ghosts.nin.com or on popular BitTorrent listings. The full album is available in many forms:

  • A $5 download from ghosts.nin.com, in the customer’s choice of DRM-free formats:
    • FLAC lossless
    • Apple lossless
    • LAME MP3 320Kbps
  • A $5 download from Amazon MP3

As for the music itself, I have listened to Ghosts I and it makes great ambient, non-intrusive music.

This is just one more encouraging step to see music succeed without any need for greedy labels. Like this album, Deliver Me Seven’s debut album will be available DRM-free from iTunes, Amazon, and eMusic this spring.

Everyday Joe’s

We had a blast at Everyday Joe’s tonight. It was our first show with a really good sound guy and a monitoring system that actually let us hear ourselves so we could lay back a bit and enjoy it all.

Jeff Penoyer brought his DSLR and got some amazing pictures; my mom got some good ones, too:

We’re taking the month of March off, but have a ton of great stuff planned for April, including our CD release party.

Marvelous (a work in progress)

VERSE 1
Time to wake up now, another day
With more questions of why you don’t look this way
Models in the magazines stare, their curves everywhere
So please don’t you cry, don’t buy into their lies
Because you’re beautiful
(So beautiful…)

CHORUS
I’d love to love you
like the One above you

VERSE 2
These scars on your arms
That come from self-harm
cut from your veins and into my heart
I won’t try to pretend that I know the pain you feel
But you should know that my caring is real
So I hope you’ll put that blade down
So I can give you my hand

I’d love to love you
like the One above you

BRIDGE
’cause all of us feel this way sometimes
(FEEL LIKE I’M LOSING MY MIND)
that pain in the darkest of night
(I’M ON MY OWN, FEEL SO ALONE)
And sometimes you just can’t even realize
just how marvelous you are

VERSE 3
And when you feel so wrong
and you wish you were gone
I hope you will hear my song
and know that there are those who care
and those who you would never even know how deeply they’d miss you
But there will never be a hole so deep
That I can’t help lift you out

I’d love to love you (you’re so beatiful…)
Like the One above you (you’re so marvelous…)
