Posted project update #14Congratulations Kickstarter Backers - You Funded a 2011 Editor's Pick on Amazon.com
Post CommentWe are riding in the van from a great show in Nashville to Little Rock, AR. We just received word that the album you made possible was chosen as a 2011 Editor's Pick on Amazon.com's MP3 store.
We did not expect it but we want to seize the moment and you can help.
Reviews are essential to making an item on Amazon stand out, and if you'd take a moment to review the album, it would go a very long way.
First click here to see the album on the list -- we're in some very good company:
Then head to the Lost River page and give it your best Lester Bangs:
Thank you so much for everything you've done so far, we can't wait to see you on the road.
Lisa, Patrick & Syd

Posted project update #11Album is complete... and thanks for covering us
Post CommentAs of 1:30 this morning, the mixing process for our debut album, Lost River is complete. The album will be mastered and ready for the world within days. Our pride for this project is only eclipsed by our gratitude towards you who made it possible. Below is a piece by Seth Godin that I was reading this morning and it struck me how much easier it is to be brave and bold as artists when someone truly has your back. Seth included this picture from the end of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, so I wanted to pass this along as well. While we hope to be meeting a different fate than these characters, just like them, we certainly aren't stepping out alone. Thanks for covering us everyone. I assure you, your love has been felt!
From Seth Godin's Blog http://sethgodin.typepad.com/
"I've got your back"These are the words that entrepreneurs, painters, artists, statesmen, customer service pioneers and writers need to hear.
Not true. They don't need to hear them, they need to feel them.
No artist needs a fair weather friend, an employee or customer or partner who waits to do the calculus before deciding if they're going to be there for them.
No, if you want her to go all in, if you want her to take the risk and brave the fear, then it sure helps if you're there too, no matter what. There's a cost to that, a pain and risk that comes from that sort of trust. After all, it might not work. Failure (or worse! embarrassment) might ensue. That's precisely why it's worth so much. Because it's difficult and scarce.
Later, when it's all good and it's all working, your offer of support means very little. The artist never forgets the few who came through when it really mattered.
Who's got your back? More important, whose back do you have?
