...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!
