I’ll be streaming live at the Sunset Paradise Music Shell June 25th 11:00 AM SLT, 2:00 PM EDT. Second Life is free so I hope everyone downloads it and comes to the show. My avatar is known as Ehdward Spengler so please IM me if you need any help finding the place or have any general SL questions. However, I will be busy the day of the show so I may not be able to return messages very quickly.

I’m going to release an “EP” with the following tracks:
1. Insect Boy
2. Broken World
3. Keep It Together
4. You Can’t Hide From The SkyI’m going to call it the “Insect Boy EP.” I’m doing this because my music is moving in a different direction and these songs don’t fit in with the new sound I’m developing. I’ve been fighting with myself over the direction of my music for too long and have finally decided to cut these tracks loose for good. I’ve remixed and remasterd them and I’m FINALLY satisfied with the sound. I’ll be making mp3, wavs and artwork so you can make a DIY CD if you want it. It’ll all be released under a Creative Commons license.

I'm getting ready to record my semi-live musical video podcast. I figured out a way to do it using only one computer. I have to practice the songs some more and get a few other technical details hammered out but it's not that far off at this point. However, I do need to make a Shadowjack website. It won't be anything terribly fancy. Also, I now have 6 songs 100% complete for the new album "Sidereal."
In other news I'm fucking sick of motherfucking comment spammers! I might just turn off comments since hardly anyone comments anyway. Before I do that though, I'm going to try a WordPress plugin that requires people to input a number from one of those funky graphic thingies. I know it's annoying but the tons of spam I'm getting is more annoying.

I remixed and remastered "Insect Boy" and I think I finally got a sound I can live with. Maybe most people won't be able to tell the difference between the new version and the old one but it sounds better to me. I'll do the rest of the songs soon.
In other news, I have a couple new songs in the works. Also I'm planning on doing a semi-live performance of some of my tunes as a video podcast.

I might as well face the reality that I’m never going to make any money with my music. I can’t make CDs, I have no band and no label. So I’m giving it away for free. I’ll release the songs as I get them done. You can download the first one here. It’s under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 license, like the rest of my songs. That means you can’t use it for any commercial purpose or sample it.
I don’t have a name for the album yet. I don’t know if I should even bother naming it since it’s a download. It’s not advertised in Industrial Nation (does that rag even still exist?) or any other magazine or website. It’s not on iTunes, it doesn’t have a fancy Flash website to promote it and I don’t have any photos of me wrapped in vinyl and white makeup trying to look cool. Listen to it or don’t. I suspect most people won’t even hear of it so by default, no one will listen.
There was a part of the interview with Jon I wish he had left in. I said, “the internet offers more opportunities for artist to be ignored by even more people.” So here is yet more of my music to be ignored. But at least maybe one of two people will get some sort of enjoyment out of it, instead of it just sitting on my harddrive.

I just finished up the first of what (hopefully) will be a new Shadowjack album. It’s a slow process. I can average about a song a week if I really push myself and not do much else. I don’t know how Cat (of magicinkwell.com) manages to churn out so much high quality stuff. He’s recorded what, a 10 albums in the last two years or so? How does he do it? I’ve been curious about what software and hardware he has. And where the heck he finds the time!
Anyway, I’ve recorded two other songs this year so I’ll probably add those to the album. If you’re interested you can hear the songs “You Can’t Hide from the Sky” and “Keep It Together” here.
