Dear Xanga--It's done!
!!!!!!!
It's up, available for
download, and
completely legal to both download AND share--
FREE!I know, almost too good to be true, right? But no! It's the great part of using the Creative Commons license. I make the music, I decide that I think that others should have access to it at NO cost, and then when I upload to Jamendo.com, they host it, among some other great bits of music, free of charge!
So, if you'd like to see the whole "album page" for it, click
here and check it out.
(I even used Xanga as one of the album tags. That's worth points of Awesome, right??)
However, maybe you can't download it to the computer you're at?
Would you like to possibly stream a few tracks of it (or maybe the whole CD) beforehand?
I'll embed a flash version of it to stream for you, on the right!
ps: Check out a bigger view of the Cover Art (I reallly like the pic I took):
(click thumbnail for larger image)For more of a background history, check out the blog I posted while I was dealing with internet issues while trying to upload tracks/cover art
here. Or check the
album page, also linked above, in which I provided a bit of background update in the "Album Description" on the bottom.
Again, thank you guys for your continued support--without the occasional: "
Hey Matt! This stuff is good!"--the CD probably wouldn't have been anything close to what it is. You all (Y'all? xP) are inspiring, I must say. A couple tracks were made on
Red's behalf (she knows which ones), and one or two on account of
Britt (yeah, she knows which ones too, unless she forgot [I hope not!]).
Music inspired by Xangans? Yeah... I wouldn't have believed it myself--but it happened.
I'm kiiinda sorrrrta playing around with the idea of offering addressed burnt CD's of it in the fall... not much I can offer but some CD-R's, with a "To: ______ " ... thing, but it's more than nothing? And that's if there's aaany interest in the idea.
Rec if you enjoyed/want others to enjoy as well?

i was just thinking that i needed more techno on my iPod... seriously. that's weird. :P
Downloading now...
@XxRainyxMondayxX - xD, Glad to help you in the process! lol.
@DommieGirlLovie -
!!! Hope you enjoy it.
of course.
i especially enjoyed "Chiming in for 200" and "Be Better."
thanks for sharing with us :)
@thekeyhole - I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for checking it out!
About halfway through the album, and I love it XD
Great job, Matt
Yay! Rec for you.
@xNicolax - :D!! Thank you, Nicola! Let me know what you think of it, when you have a chance?
@XxRainyxMondayxX - That's wonderful to hear! I do believe it works out better to listen to as an actual downloadable collection/album, rather than a series of blog posts/individual links to single tracks. Feel free (it's legal!) to share the songs with peoples you think may enjoy them. XD
Yay! I'll check it out when I get home after lab today.
@just_the_average_jane - Awesome! And if you like it, let me know what you think? :D
Not bad work there. Do you still have bits for remixes?
@mynameisblueskye - "bits for remixes" --? You mean.... more coming? or the individual tracks for a song, in case someone wants to remix something?
Yay!
@IfonEarth - You like, I take it? :D
Cool beans! Congrats! I like "spicy"
@theacematt2 - Well, now that we are on the subject, do you remix tracks yourself? And yeah, I was interested in trying to take a crack at remixing artists.
@AlterEgo909 - Thank you! I aim to please,
@mynameisblueskye - Personally, I've attempted a few remixes, but they never seem to result in much more than lackluster failure... or spawning original tracks themselves that no longer resemble what was attempted.
If you find a track you'd like to re-do.. lemme know, and I'll see waht I can do? ".wav" of each track, perhaps?
