Hot off the presses!

by

This week has been one of the more technically challenging ones I’ve ever spent as a songwriter, but right now that doesn’t bother me because look what I’m holding in my hands…

Brown Bag Demos discs, hot off the press.

Yes, that’s right, my first physical mass-produced CD release since 2001, and it’s totally DIY by Elise and I:

  • I decided to put together a CD six days ago
  • I wrote 11 of the 12 songs from 1999 to 2009
  • I performed all of the songs solo in my studio from 2007 to 2010
  • I engineered and mixed the recordings
  • E shot the photo; we both retouched it
  • E designed the cover art; I laid out the disc art
  • E and I worked together to launch the accompanying new website
  • E originally conceived of the Brown Bag Demos name and execution

    More news tomorrow, as I make my solo debut (and sudden guerrilla CD release party) at the Tin Angel – 10:30 pm, $8.

    More news on buying/downloading the CD on Monday.
