...It's done.

It's been done for some months now.

The problem now is just getting the money together to press it and copyright the last few songs.

When will that happen? I don't know. I'm being honest with you, friends. I took a few pretty bad financial hits in 2008 and it's all I can do to take care of myself right now.

Sooooo... no promises on when it will be done, but it will be awesome when it is! I know I've been saying that for a few years now.

I'm thinking hard about what I can do to get it released ASAP and I'm open to ideas. The only thing I'm definitely NOT doing is burning it at home and selling half-assed copies of it at shows. This is going to be a real album. We've worked too hard for it not to be.

I'm going to start taking pre-orders for it as soon as the band and I have a talk and settle the details about that. Pre-ordering for "whenever it comes out" kinda sucks, so I'll include something to make it worth your while (a badass, otherwise-unreleased acoustic track that you can download right away, perhaps?).

Also, all sales of my homegrown burn-it-and-print-it-as-needed acoustic release, The Four Songs I Have Copyrighted Right Now, are going directly into the "press Wish Upon a Bottlecap!" fund. You can get that online at roriekelly.com/Music.html or at any show.

Finally, if anyone wishes to support a starving artist, here is a nice little Paypal "Donate!" button. If you donate $10 or more I'll send you a free signed copy of the aforementioned CD, or, if you already have it, uh... something else cool. Yeah!








That's all, y'all. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hey Rorie happy new year!

Sarah and I both really like the new song. And you sound kickass on it.

I'm in the same boat about the new album - took financial hits and so on. My humble advice: you can copyright songs as a collection, and just pay for one form, that's what "additional titles" are for, it even gives that example on the Form CO instructions (that's the new one, you do it online, no more PA/SR) it says "example: songs in an album" or something like that. People copyright things as collections all the time.

Where are you getting your CD's printed? I looked at the Discmakers catalogue and it seems a bit expensive. There's also Oasis, although I don't know how much cheaper they are. They put you on a compilation though.
And these people: http://www.mediaduplicationnyc.com They're in manhattan so you can pick up your stuff and not pay shipping, they're also waaaay cheaper than Discmakers. Haven't worked with them yet but I heard good things and that's where I'm making mine. They quoted me $200-something for 200 copies with jewelcases. They don't have minimums for those.

good luck!!

Rickie
