What's taking so long part 2...

Hey everybody. We're still  in the process of album layout- artwork, photos, lyrics etc. for our upcoming release... (and yes we still call them albums).  The process has recently gone in a whole new direction.  We had to put a halt to our original album title, cover and design concept because of the negative reaction it was getting. As it turns out the original title----Radio Caroline: 'We're Way, Way Bigger Than Jesus' was apparently extremely offensive to many.  Our lawyer advised us that the title would probably not go over well with music fans, retailers, distributors, record companies, radio stations, internet stations, venues, and pretty much anything that involved music. Hindsight being 20/20 we certainly should not have spent a fortune on 'We're Way, Way Bigger Than Jesus' promotional materials- hats, posters, t-shirts,  before talking with our lawyer. He also pointed out that had we been paying attention to history we would have known The Beatles caused worldwide outrage for making a similar comment involving Jesus.  Now we had never heard of the Beatles but it's clear to us now that it got a little ugly after they made that statement.  Their records were gathered in public by angry mobs to be burned and beaten to the death with bats. So to prevent this type of reaction we decided to change the title and the overall vibe of the album design.   But you live and learn; and here we sit on top of boxes and boxes of promo materials that we can't unload....even at a discount.
But now we're back on track and ready to move ahead!!
 To find out what else has been going on stay tuned...

Actually, it probably would have been fine with us little Internet stations...
