It's been a while since I've done these. I'm behind I have a few in the queue and I'll get to them.
Here's my signed copy of Laura Tsaggaris' album Keep Talking.

I discovered Brad Sucks back in 2006 or so and blogged about it at the time (Brad Sucks: Open Source Musician?). I've enjoyed his album, "I Don't Know What I'm Doing" quite a bit since then. I realized recently that I had just downloaded the album and never really got around to paying for it...which really sucks because I really like to support what independent artists are doing.
I got around to fixing that a couple weeks ago by hitting the tip jar on his Music page. When you hit the tip jar, Brad sends a button. The button I got was of the cover of the album. Sweet.
I little while back, i am jen posted a new idea on her website. She offered up custom hand made CDs for sale. You pick the tracks and the title, she creates unique artwork to go with it.
I have a thing for signed stuff, not so much as a collector, but more for the experience of connection and closeness to the artists whose music I love. So of course I had to jump on this. I agonized about the playlist and title for a long time but got there eventually, and here's the result:
I'm really jazzed. It's a one of a kind piece of artwork to go with a custom mix and a cool way to connect with an artist. I love it and I'm glad I did it. Jen posted a video on Youtube called "Each one is Unique." You can see mine here and there in the video, especially around 00:32.I've been trying to learn to play guitar over the past year and most of the progress I have made on that has come from my being on the guitar site, GuitarMasterClass.
I discovered the Argentina-based band Cirse when Gabriel Leopardi, their guitar player, and Luciana, their singer, became instructors on the site. The band put out a CD called "bi-polar" this past December. Gabriel has a couple of lessons on GMC lately that show how to play some of their songs which is really cool, I think.
Of course, I had to have a copy of the CD and Gabriel and Luciana were kind enough to sign it for me:
The album's excellent. They rock out. You can find more about Cirse from their website, Youtube, or their Myspace.
Otto's Daughter's new album, "A New Kind of Heroine" is finally out! Yay!
This is the album that I preordered in 2006 that lead to my winning the Dark Star guitar. This is what got me playing guitar after a lifetime of meaning to try.
I pre-ordered it just so I could get it signed by the band:
The new album's an interesting evolution for the band. I like it. I'm just pissed that my car stereo's not working so I've only listened to part of the album so far. bah.
So Fluffy Starr's first album, "Come on!" is out. I've been waiting for it for what seems like years...since the first time I heard "Perfect"...and then somehow I missed the actual release date. Fortunately, I caught it in time to get mine autographed...
Not many people are allowed to call me "Scotty". Fluffy is on the list.
With the new job, I haven't had a chance to listen to the whole CD yet. The recording itself is interesting...lots of detail...the breath, the pick on the guitar strings...stuff you don't usually hear in albums like this...it's kinda organic. The music's completely different than "Perfect" (even though it's track 13 on the CD). The rest of "Come On!" is more electronic pop rock with an industrial edge, I think. Interesting. I like it.
For a preview, check out some of the other videos on the Fluffy Starr TeeVee Youtube channel. There's a lot of silliness going on there, but there are song clips in the background. The Fluffy Starr MySpace page has previews too.
Ever since I started posting these signed CDs a while back, I've been looking for this one. I won a copy of Samantha Murphy's 'somewhere between starving and stardom' from a podcast contest. Signed, sealed and delivered. The silver sharpie didn't show well in the photo..it says "Thanks for winning me".
One of these days, I'm going to have a chance to buy a copy for someone else.
On Wednesday night, I saw Laura Tsaggaris play part of a free concert hosted by Digital Freedom. I got there late, so I didn't really see most of the songs she did that night but I did see her do the title track for her album, "Proof" and it was riveting. Of course, I bought the CD.
We chatted for a bit and Laura was very nice. She offered to sign my CD, which I accepted of course. I'm looking forward to listening to her music and will definitely have to catch one of her own shows.
Last time I mentioned i am jen, it was about the youtube video on how she makes her Broken EP's before shipping. At the time, I couldn't find my copy (I ripped it to iTunes and listen on the iPod). I found it over the weekend and its picture is below.
This example also came with an extra “Broken Robot Girl” sticker and a personalized note from jen. I think it's really cool how much time she spent on this, changing it from a purchase transaction to a human, person-to-person interaction. I appreciate it and will continue to try to support her in her music.
"Thanks for your support! JVB and Jim' I preordered Otto's Daughter's EP "Becoming 001" in 2005 and they signed it. I did the same for the upcoming "A New Kind of Herione" and won a guitar.
The first 300 orders of Freezepop's new album Future Future Future Perfect got signed by Liz, The Duke and Sean Drinkwater. I guess I made the cutoff. Yay! Time to Rokk!!
