IACMusic.com BBH radio Station Posted on our Myspace

Here is a bulletin I just posted for our Myspace friends to read:

" HEY ALL --

Sure, we still have our little myspace player with its choice of 4 songs over here on our page.

But we don't expect any visitors to use it anymore. We'll just have to forfeit those precious song play stats. Besides, 4 BBH songs just does not give you the scope of our vision. Takes at least 5 times that amount to even start to get a glimpse.

So now when you visit our page our internet radio station on IACMUSIC.COM is automatically launched and, if you choose to let it do so, it'll play 20 entire BBH songs: 4 from our currently released 4 cds, and another 4 from our soon-to-be-released "The Royal We" reissue. We might add audio commentary in the near future. And definitely look for 8 more entire songs as our third reissue and our all new cd drop in the months to come. Point is, we're not fuckin around here, people. We've had tunes dripping out our pores for 15 years and this selection represents about a fifth of them. See if you can find a real shitty one in the bunch. Go on now. Click our pic, get on over here and give us your ears for an hour."

I'm gonna repost it periodically.

Where have we been?

Man o man o man it's been a while since Moses or I have posted anything here. Well, we're still fighting the good musical fight, gettin done all the stuff that needs gettin done on each and every front. The next reissue, The Royal We will be out in a couple weeks and man is it lookin and soundin fine. This is such an attractive package I'm hoping some of you download devotees consider revisiting the world of physical product just this one last time. But it will certainly roll out to your favorite d/l retailers and subscription services over the coming months.

So here that is coming out and Less Like Penguins has really not started to be promoted or publicized yet. I sigh and say I'm working on it. It is all about which services turn out to be truly effectual and which do not. I am trying a service that I think could have taken Stone Cold Blue quite far if I had only had the health energy and ambition to follow up on things adamantly 4 years ago. I have those now.

In addition, other releases are coming out and being planned for my label, and BBH are scheduling practices and trying to get that second gig that jives with our schedule plus gigs beyond that, too. If we can work our first practice with drummer Zach Price into our booked studio time next weekend, man that'd be a huge huge coup.

There was a minor mixup getting our final masters from Kramer, but he and I cleared that all up, so those should now be in the mail to me and Moses. The aforementioned studio time goes towards finishing up our/ Mike's half of the album -- a little bit o' recording left to do, mostly mixing and mastering.

I do see it all wrapping up and being released on the later side of the originally planned target range, ie February... and why not? Get it done exactly right, and this way promotional efforts won't have us competing with our own reissues.

Without question, creatively I'm enjoying the best year of my life,
