Free Track #2

“Thanks To Science, We’ve Got Love” has a cover song on it – an interpretation of “I Will Wait For You” from the 1964 musical movie “Les Parapluies De Cherbourg” (directed by Jacques Demy, starring a 21-year-old Catherine Deneuve). There have been countless versions done of this song but one of the most recent pop-culture appearances of it is the Connie Francis version in the Futurama episode, Jurassic Bark (song starts at 1:06 in this clip). Anyway, you’re not getting it today. Instead, hope you enjoy Watching You Sleep:

Facebook, iLike & Garageband

If you’re a denizen of Facebook, you probably know about the iLike music application. Both Come On and Dirty Glass are available to add to your profile (assuming you, ya know, like them).

They’re also up on Garageband where you can watch as complete strangers write reviews on the songs. Entertaining!

Thanks to BlogTO for picking it up and putting Come On in their podcast!

Also, some industrious person has posted it on a BitTorrent tracker. Grab it here.

Thanks guys!

New Album, Free Music

Hi everyone! Planning is in the works for an official CD release for “Thanks To Science, We’ve Got Love” in the autumn hopefully but decided that we would make the music available for download right away.

Why give away music? Just because everybody else is doing it? Well, I guess that’s one (pretty weak) reason. However, it makes sense also because Internet filesharing has become so prevalent that eventually the music will get out there anyway. Since we’re sending out pre-release copies to press, labels & radio it’s bound to get leaked at one point or another. And we’re hoping that if you get a free copy (in whatever form) and you like it, you’re going to want to support the project even more and maybe buy it.

So that’s the rationale. If you do like it and want to buy a copy – please do. Check the website for information on how to do that. It won’t be totally ready for purchasing for a few weeks, though (except for CDBaby.com, which is already selling it). I’ll let you know when that option becomes available.

I’ll be posting a full new song in 256kbps MP3 format every 2-3 weeks from the upcoming “Thanks To Science, We’ve Got Love”. I’ll also be cross-posting to CBC Radio3 (http://radio3.cbc.ca) which will make it available in streaming format. When the tunes are up and ready, I’ll post in on the website and send out a bulletin with a direct link to the song.

I’m also toying with the idea of doing this for the previous album, “Arousal Disasters”, as well. I remixed and remastered this thing a while back (and it sparkles) but it now seems dumb to just hang onto it.

Anyway, thanks as always for your support,
Jonathan
