Update #25: Happy Christmas...

Posted on December 25

I forgot to mention a couple things.

One is, if you haven't gone to get the downloads of the album from bandcamp, or even if you have, you may have missed a small gift: "Turn Slowly for Maximum Vend"

it's a third collection of music, music made during the process of making All Attractions and Apricot Jam. Here: http://jsegel.bandcamp.com/

I'm trying to get all my music there for easy and cheap downloading.

Also: If any of you high rollers are going to be at the Camper shows this coming week in California, let me know. I have some special things for you.

      Many thanks for this download. Excited to hear the whole package when it arrives. Best wishes Di.

      Hey congrats! My brains have been saturated from too much X-mas cheer thus, leaving me clue-less as to how to access downloads w/o having to re-pay on Band Camp. Perhaps someone could help? BTW: Steve and I are going to try to make it to the CVB show in Petaluma on Thurs. Sounds like fun!!!

Update #24: CDs!

Posted on December 24

They're here, they're (sort of) clear, get used to it. 

Get used to them arriving in your mailboxes soon. Sorry I couldn't get them to you for Christmas! Still trying to figure out the special people's gift situation.. you'll get CDs soon, though!

Update #23: OK then!

Posted on November 21, 2011

I think we're done. 

We mastered "All Attractions" last weekend, then went through it and fixed little digital things, if something sounds wrong, don't tell me about it. It's supposed to sound that way.

I'll have digital downloads available for everybody this week. CDs next month. 

Whew!

      Got 'em! Thanks!

Update #22: interim update #2

Posted on October 19, 2011

Well, yes indeed, this is taking longer than expected (?) to mix the songs. I'm going to "officially" revise the release date of the CDs to the end of the year. 

I apologize! However, as the Apricot Jam collection is done, I will make this available to all Kickstarters very soon. Look for email from me with some weird download code. Or something.

Meanwhile, here's a very nice video of the start of our set at Pioneertown this past month, shot by Jason Switzer. It's almost 20 minutes of beauty.

Thanks folks!

      I wouldn't have thought you'll make the November deadline as you just had a baby and quite frankly, as you will know, babies take up 36 hours of your day. In retrospect, it took me months to get an inkling of organisation back into my life.
      Best of luck with both babies and looking forward to hearing your Apricot Jam sessions.
      All the best - Di

      In software engineering, we would invoke Hofstadter's Law:
      "It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law".

Update #21: interim update #1

Posted on September 29, 2011

Well, folks, this CD making thing is taking a bit longer than I had though initially, though we keep chugging away.

The "Apricot Jam" collection is done, mixed and mastered! The "All Attractions" collection is harder, taking longer to mix right. They are songs, after all!

In the meantime, here's a video of an Apricot-like bit from our set at Pioneertown on Sept 17 2011:

Segel, Hanes, Krummenacher. Live!

Enjoy! As I hear of more recordings of this, I will pass them on.
