And Audio Lunchbox

Center Rise Solo is now available on Apple - iTunes

The Cosigner album is now available for download at Audio Lunchbox.

I haven't heard from by bandmates in a week or so, but I assume the mixing is going well. Everything is starting to sound good.

Back in my hometown. Saw Nik Freitas play last weekend. Family all doing well. All is good.

Been busy recording. Going into the studio Sunday and Monday. Then back to California for the holidays.

haven't posted in a while. Show with Jerry Springer was strange. Show at Casa this Friday. Should be good. Practice monday. will start working on record again next week.

Also, Josh:
Could you get my mail? I will be back in town a week from Friday.

Stephen

Just got this email:



Hi Stephen,

How are you? I'm doing pretty well, just trying to organize a little concert here ... would Cosigner be interested in playing Rock the Vote this fall? The College Democrats are organizing it, but you don't have to follow a specific political party to play .... the whole idea is just to encourage voting.

The date is October 2, a Thursday night, at the Blue Gator. I'm also talking to Kim Casio, Planet 12 ... maybe the Redtails or the Story Of. ...trying to get a variety. I think it'll be a fun night.

I'm not sure if this is your current email since I haven't talked to you in a while, so let me know when you get this. You can think about the concert and get back to me next week with a yes or no.

Thanks! I might try calling within the next couple days, .... (I think your number is 590-2270)

Talk to you soon,
Sarah

check out this band

Chris called me to say congratulations on my engagement and that Josh finished most of his tracking. I am having fun in California but I am excited to get back to work on the record.

Listened to the "flat" basic tracks last night. Chris, Josh and I listened through the songs last night during a huge thunderstorm. Josh is going to do his parts while I am in California.
Signed up to have Center Rise Solo distributed through iTunes this fall. iTunes will be available for pc's this fall. Here is the link for the iTunes Music Store.

Bad news from Spain, here is the gist of the email:

"I haven't made any progress with the label and probably won't for the moment. I have some new bands coming out which I am concentrating all my efforts and a large amount of my time to. they are both electronic artist and that is something I would like to develop within the label. As for the Cosigner project, I am still naturally interested, nothing has changed there, but I just won't be able to do anything (ie, edit the record) for a while and almost certainly not this year. This really is why I haven't sent the contract to you. I felt it would be unfair to tie you to something that may not happen for a while yet, that way we still have the freedom to think about it and decide to take it up at a later date."

So, no Spanish release for Center Rise Solo this year.

Recording tonight.

Also, bought preservation act part 1 and 2. 1 is worth buying.

Did some vocals. Switched guitar amps. Fender sounds better.

New Grandaddy is good as well.

some interview saturday at two. Recording tomorrow at 6 pm. Good.

did the acoustic tracks tonight. Sounds good. Josh and I might go in Friday. Sold some cd's on cdbaby. Haven't heard from Spain.

Going to record the acoustic guitar tracks tonight.

Some minor problem with Australian artwork. Darren is working it out. It is always something with those guys.

Rumor has it that Chris Pyle has finished his bass parts.

no cosigner news.

Working on the dissertation for a few days. Not much music news expected for the next week or so, but you never know.

New links should be working. Buy the CD.

The drum sound is very stones/beatles.

Heard from Australia. The Australian release of Center Rise Solo is finally on track. The cd is at the factory as we speak.
Nothing new from Spain.

Finished the Drum tracks

Almost finished with the drum tracks. We are getting some good drum sounds. Only drum track left to do. We should be able to finish the drums tonight.

US-made version of Center Rise Solo available at CD Baby: http://www.cdbaby.com/cosigner

Working on the drum tracks right now for the next record. Record in Australia looks like it is finally going to the pressing factory. Still no contract from Spain.

CD is out.
