caliblog: based on a true story

A few weeks ago, I mentioned Eric was waiting for his new CDs to arrive, and how long I had watched Eric work on this album. Well, last night I went over to Eric's place to help him set up some things for getting his new album, "as an ex-anorexic's six sicks exit,..." out there and more accessible to people.

I must say, I love that the back of the CD says "don't care if you burn/rip/share". So we made a zip' file that has all 10 songs, the album artwork and the liner notes, you can download that here, if you'd like to pass the link on, just copy & paste this: http://urltea.com/2ep0

If you'd like to buy an actual CD, maybe as a gift for someone, hint hint :) you can do through their myspace page, and really you can pay whatever you'd like for it.

We also put some finishing touches on a rather-hilarious music video for Jackie O, the 4th song on the album. And that will be up as soon as possible.

I'd like to get their songs indexed by search engines, so I'm going to link to them individually - hopefully they'll show up Project Playlist in the next few days (again, if you'd like all these songs, it will be much faster for you to just download the zip file above):

01) them pleasures of the flesh 4:49

02) anomie's the enemy 4:46

03) what? 4:28

04) jackie o 2:42

05) a frozen lake 4:51

06) bad thing 2:46

07) this is far from a belle epoque 4:01

08) eyes, foreign eyes 4:20

09) the lonliness of the short distance walker 4:18

10) i'll stop swimming when i drown 8:52

Hope you enjoy the CD :) Here's to indie music!

While catching up on feeds during lunch yesterday, I noticed a post on Mark Maynard's site about shopping locally. Amanda and I had talked about, while out filming Pedal, doing gift shopping this year from independent people: indie filmmakers, penniless musicians, non-franchise stores, et cetera.

I really love the idea of shopping on a person to person level. Unfortunately, I am unable to afford a plane ticket to Michigan for the weekend of the Shadow Art Fair, but I still plan on buying from those local (Detroit'ish) artist through their websites.
