About freaking time...
...But my CD's done. The delays, both my fault and the pressing company's, were numerous. But I'm told that a big box arrived at my parents' house and the advance proof they sent me was tight (almost all traces of zombie removed), so I'm pretty sure we're good to go on this. To celebrate, I've cataloged reasons you should buy one, so if I may pimp these babies for a moment...Ahem.
(skip this section if you don't want to be bored)
1. They are only $5.
2. I played all the instruments. Wanna hear what I'm like on drums? Check. Harmonica? Got it. Piano? I actually learned it for the CD. So there.
3. My friend and former lead singer, Christy, sings backup on 3 tracks. She has a better voice than I do.
4. If I sell 40 of them I will make my money back. And if that happens soon enough I will make another one before I leave for Japan.
5. I don't care if you burn them for other people. But then they don't get to see my pretty face on the CD. Or the zombie picture on the back.
6. There are tons of guitar solos. Some songs even have two.
7. It will raise your sperm count if you turn up the bass while you listen to it. Well, it could, but I'm not a doctor, so I'm just guessing here. It's probably likely, though.
8. If you don't like it or don't like me, it will give you another reason to laugh at me.
9. I covered a Mike Meyers/John Kissane song. Not on this CD, but I did so at one time, and I think that makes me a better person.
10. Mia Doi Todd says you should, or at least she probably would have if I'd asked her.
11. I think this is the first recording I've ever done that doesn't have my mom talking/walking around upstairs on it.
12. I'll explain why I called my band (The Ghosts of Catherine) and my CD (Real Still Life) what I did. Hell, I'll explain things. Many things. Lots of things.
13. Monkeys.
If you want one, just invite me to something or come to Billy's on a Monday night, circa 11pm. That's when I usually play open mic. Or just e-mail me/comment on this entry. I think I'm just going to keep several in my trunk until I hit that magic 40. At that point I'll probably rack up a huge bar tab celebrating and have to sell 40 more.
