As you may be aware, October 31st 2009 was set as the digital release date for the debut Twilight of the Idols record, "Needful Things."  In the past several weeks the Idols have attracted major label interest, high powered attorney interest, and contractual proposals from a well connected UK booking agency.  One thing they have all strongly recommended is to release a single from the album first through all available channels, which now include iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, Amazon, Topspin, etc.  and wait on making the complete album available until the new live band (coming along nicely) has a few shows under its belt in the current configuration.  The second part made some sense to me- but the first didn't.  I'm just gonna give it away to you, distribute it anywhere and everywhere you want.  It isn't stealing because I own the publishing and copyrights.  Granted I can't give away a collaboration for legal reasons, but the first single wasn't gonna be a collaboration anyways... I am currently unsigned and in a position to make these choices, for the time being.  The bottom line is that there are a lot of positive developments happening for the band, and yes, the album will be available for purchase in digital form before the end of this year.  As I'm sure you're aware, that means that shows are imminent.  I apologize sincerely for all these delays; I've had some personal setbacks, and I wasn't anticipating all the legality issues that accompany the self-release of a CD.  Hope you're all doing well, and I'll talk to you soon.
